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!

The first bit of the experience is just your average museum, reading information boards, etc. The flying experience at the end though is really really good and I would recommend it for this reason. Definitely worth going especially if it's included on a pass!

Very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the RiseNY experience! We are thrilled to work with our pass partners and think we're a great intro to the city that you can then go out and experience more of! We hope you will join us again in the near future.

We're so glad you enjoyed the RiseNY experience! Both the introductory film and the footage for the ride were painstakingly crafted to capture the true New York experience in the best way possible. We hope you will rise with us again soon!

Absolutely loved this! Didn’t know what to expect but thoroughly enjoyed it. We walked into a vets office-like building with some doubt and low expectations of what we were going to see but the three-part experience was great. Absolutely loved flying through NYC in the final section, brilliantly done. Really recommend doing it for all ages.
