Everything about RiseNy was spectacular. Learning the history of the subway and the legendary ball drop was amazing. The museum and virtual ride are well worth the time and money. Great fun for the entire family. We were there to celebrate my daughter’s 26th birthday. She enjoyed herself immensely
Fun drop in while visiting theater district

Happened to stay across the street and they suggested it. Lots of NY television history and other fun trivia displays. The “soaring” ride at the end was fabulous..
It's very emotional and great for me

Excellent walk through history and great simulator at the end. We were there over 2 hours took our time to read all the memorabilia
Great Time at RISE

We really enjoyed the experience at the RISE. Had lots of fun. The last one with New Year Eve count down was the best . Flying over NYC
Not worth the price of entry

Not worth the cost of entry. The experience (including wait time and a 7 minute video) took my group 40 min. The “museum” was lacking and the ride itself was almost (if not all) AI generated.
Fun Ride

Very Fun... the only thing is that during the pre-show for the ride the workers were walking in and out and going into the side door and was distracting. The ride was amazing and the interaction is great.
Very enjoyable

This experience was so fun. I was surprised it wasn’t more crowded. If you love the “Soarin’” ride in Disneyland then you’ll love this too. The ride itself is great - visually so, but the museum is fantastic. So cool to see the history like that.

The history in different subjects (finance, arts, etc) was very well done. The ending ride through the city was beautiful and thrilling.
Amazing Time

This our first time and my entire group had a great time. There was something for everyone. The staff was friendly and the exhibits informative. Our favorite part as the 4D time ride.
Well Worth It !!

We loved the history of NYC and how it was presented. Very interesting for all age levels. And the video ride was SO FUN and well done !! Truly a highlight of our trip ☺️
Ball drop!

The RiseNY experience was nice; I especially enjoyed the ride of all the bureaus in NY! It really put things into perspective of an entire overview of NY. Everlasting memories!
Excellent experience!!! I...

OK, yes it is a lot like the ride down in Disney that we all know but it has a local flare for New York City that makes it special. The museum is very informative and quite good. Of course, the ride is exceptional. Everyone that works there is pleasant and helpful And they don’t rush you at all. A worthwhile experience.
A must to see when visiting New York
Diane_P, Sep 2024
Omg this is a hidden gem. Loved RISE. It’s like seeing New York in 30 mins. A must to see. It’s like the rise soaring at Disney but better yet. Thank you Viator for letting me know and helping me get my tickets. I would do it again and again.
Thank you Viator and New York

My family and I were the last people on the ride. It was very much like Soarin in Epcot which we love. I enjoyed the entire experience. It was extremely informative and fun. The staff was helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. We will go back again.
A fun time!

We enjoyed the whole thing! I feel like it could be expanded to include more details, experiences, information.
The ride was great, but again, a bit lacking in depth.
Unique experience
Katie_R, Aug 2024
This was a lot of fun. I went by myself, but I think it would be better to go with someone to have a person there to take pictures. People around took pictures of me for me, but it is a go at your own pace museum so there wasn’t always someone around. A lot of the exhibits are meant for you to be in the photo (sitting at the desk, being in the briefcase, etc.). The ride was cool and showed New York from a different perspective. Try to sit in the middle and not on the ends for the best views. This was definitely a unique experience.
Must visit
