Having been to New York previously and visiting the top of the Empire State and The Rockefeller Centre, nothing can compare to this helicopter ride! Of course you get the views from the other attractions, which is great, but going up in a helicopter provides another dimension. The thrill of the helicopter, and the views are phenomenal. We were lucky enough on our trip to have clear, blue skies which meant that we could see everything. This trip is quite expensive for the 10-15minute flight time, but so worth it. All the staff were great, the pilot gave a brief commentary of the sights and there is also a chance to get your photo taken with the helicopter. You go up in groups of six, four in the back and two in the front - they base the seating on weight so unfortunately you don't get to choose where you sit but there are plenty of photo opportunities at all different angles. If you can afford, seriously consider this trip!

Would highly recommend. Bought this as a surprise for my husbands birthday. It was fantastic! Everyone at the heliport made the experience memorable, they were all really friendly and made my daughter feel completely at ease who at 8 was a little nervous. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

it was a beautiful sunny day and we were so excited to go on our ride!! For some reason they did not fit us on the helicopter ride at the time they had given us and we had to wait longer in the line than we had anticipated...... but we were rewarded with an amazing upgrade to a much longer flight as compensation, much appreciated and so worth waiting a little longer. It was absolutely magical!!!
