What To Expect

RiseNY

Begin your adventure with an immersive film by award-winning documentarian Ric Burns and narrated by Jeff Goldblum that transitions to an interactive self-guided walkthrough tracing tipping points in history that contributed to NYC's global pop culture evolution. Discover the rise of Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange in our Finance Gallery. Learn the history of mass media after the advent of Tesla's Coil in the TV/Radio gallery. Understand the laws of physics through the Otis elevator brake in our Skyline gallery. Visual and performing arts come to life in the Fashion, Music, Film, and Broadway galleries. Then prepare to soar to New (York) heights with a spectacular uplifting ride - a world-class flying theater - that gives visitors a unique bird's-eye view of the Big Apple. See the Statue of Liberty up close, fly over Central Park, Yankee Stadium, and more - all while seated inside a 180-degree 40' projection dome that gives the sensation of flight!

Had a great time. Like others said the experience at the end is the highlight. The Musuem has interesting information and is a good for a brief background of the city! We enjoyed it. There were only two other people on the ride with us so VIP should only be utilized if it is a busy time or you want the swag

We had been recommended this experience from a taxi driver who was giving us ideas of activities in the extreme cold. It was a really good experience, the museum is really interesting as it tells the story of New York and the ride at the end was brilliant.
