RiseNY: everything you need to know about NYC’s new museum and ride

A place to fall in love with New York City – again. That’s how I can describe RiseNY – one of the newest city’s attractions.

WHAT IS RISE NY?

RiseNY is a museum plus an immersive experience. It's a place where you can earn more about NYC's history and its impact on the world – so hence the museum part. Also, it features a unique experience at the end of the visit.

WHAT TO EXPECT

You should reserve 60 to 90 minutes to complete your visit. Your journey at RiseNY starts with a subway ride –  you will watch a short film about NYC’s history, specifically Times Square and its global impact.

Through these galleries, you will see spotlight historic artifacts, star-studded memorabilia and engaging, fun and educational displays, co-curated by beloved cultural institutions.

The last part of the visit is  soaring ride lifts you 30 feet into the air to fly while suspended inside a 180-degree, 40-foot projection dome featuring 8K aerial footage that creates the sensation of flight over the five boroughs. 

THE RIDE

ABSOLUTELY! The ride is the highlight – it exceeds all expectations. There’s nothing in the city like that. Even if you don't care about the museum part, you should go only for the ride!

Is RiseNY worth it?
