Highly recommend this experience to the people of NY and all visiting tourist. I the history lesson is invaluable but the ride is the icing on the top. Definitely will be doing it again.

I think I enjoyed this exhibit the most because I am a native New Yorker. The exhibit goes into how New York City has been at the center of many world-changing moments and how it has resulted in being the center of things like fashion, music, architecture, entertainment and more. There are cute vignettes you can take your picture with including the set of The Honeymooners and friends and The Tonight show. At the end of the exhibit, there is a 7-minute ride that is pretty cool. I wish we could get on the ride multiple times but once you exit, you are leaving the building. You can go through the exhibits at your pace so it is easy for anyone who needs to rest or walk less.

Like a piece of Disneyworld in NYC, this fun attraction left us wanting to go back for more. It’s just the right amount of information in the very interesting set of museums - like a little historical buffet!- and the ride at the end reminded us of the “Soarin’” ride at Disneyworld, but without the 3 hour wait. It’s the right length, the right cost and great for kids and adults. Great way to add to your NYC experience!

I went with family AND friends and we all had an amazing time!! It was my 2nd time going because I had been raving about it since the first time! We were celebrating our friend's birthday. The staff was super friendly and the attractions were very nice, too! Some things you can touch, others you can't (understandably). This was a wonderful experience and I CANNOT say enough about the ride at the end!! It was what I really came for. I was screaming my head clean off my neck because it looked so real! I am looking forward to my 3rd time!!

This was a great experience! I went for a work/team event and it was a fun way to celebrate NYC. I forget how "cool" NY is and this reminded me of all the great things it has to offer and its amazing history. Definitely do the VIP access. We arrived at the same time as a school and without it, we would have had a long wait.
