Excellent... I accompanied my daughter and we had an outstanding experience. I was able to show her my shows when I was her age, but the most remarkable aspect is the ending. . You will not regret it.

Would give 10 stars if I could. It covers the history of NY and some of the Iconic NY based talk shows, TV series, and Times Square as a back story to the ride. Now, the ride was awesome. My kids wanted to ride it "99 more times" and they gave it a 10/10 a must do again on our next trip. It's, in my opinion, better than the soarin ride in Disney's Epcot. Mainly, because they aren't cramming 4 rows of seats. Rise NY has 1 row that has 22 seats, and you DO NOT see the other people feet above you. The center of the screen seats are the first linup in the staging room #1-5, and the second line up in the staging room #7-11. After the ride, you can walk out onto the statue of liberty torch that you can see from the street for some pictures and views. We went when it wasn't busy and didn't buy the tickets online. we walked in, purchased tickets at the front desk, and went right into the History walk through with no wait at all.

LOVE RiseNY! My 2nd time, 1st for my daughter who lives in the city! She loved it, it was not was she had expected! So if you’re visiting or live in NY…..GO!!!

We loved this experience! We are locals to NYC and really enjoyed the museum and of course the ride!! It was all really well done, informative and fun! I highly recommend to locals and tourists alike.

What a terrific surprise!! A well kept secret but definitely a must see when by Times Square!!!! The history and museum pieces are great! The whole story to the actual ride really immersed you into New York! Would highly recommend!!!!!

Being a pretentious NYer, I hate "touristy" activities with visitors, especially those that require us to go to Times Square. That being said, I cannot recommend RiseNY enough, and will be telling friends all about it. It was a shame that our original group flew through the beginning museum portion just to get to the ride, because they missed out on a thoughtful, quick, entertaining exhibit that broke down all the different ways NYC has shaped culture and influenced the world. The ride itself, of course, was absolutely breaktaking, exhilarating, all the things, and worth every penny alone. We immediately wanted to go again. But my mom and I really did enjoy the leisurely, informative, unrushed stroll through the museum just as much as we did the actual ride. So be sure to slow down and savour it. RiseNY was exactly the kind of thing she loves to do when she's visiting, and it was one we'd both be happy to do again. 10/10 would definitely come back.

This is a museum & simulation ride all in one! It's like walking through the history of NYC then flying in 3D over the city. Absolutely amazing. I'd do this over & over again!

Fantastic hidden gem!! So much history displayed so well! Loved the ride!! A must see!

If you love NY as a native New Yorker, or just a visitor, don't miss this experience...from the garment/fashion industry, to Wall Street, to the subway system history, club DJ house music, to the NY late night talk studios, Honeymooners, etc. to the finale (I'll let you be surprised), take in the "NY Experience". It's worth every penny.
