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!

5.00It was so interesting! I learned a lot about the history of NYC. The magic motion ride at the end was fun! Be aware that there is a little bit of walking involved, which won't be an issue for most people. My mom, who has limited mobility, was worried that she would not be able to walk as much. The staff was so very helpful and let us a wheelchair for the entire attraction. Everyone was so kind friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this attraction.
An educational , enjoyable trip through New York. The exciting finale was great!

3.00Please Take your time in the museum part because you cannot go back through! I had no idea the museum was before the ride and I rushed through, I wanted to go back through to take my time and I was told I had to buy another ticket another day! So sad I travelled from New Orleans and chose RiseNY for my only site seeing tour. I hope no one else is treated this way. I didn't expect a free ride - I only wanted to experience the museum fully.

Fun and educational
