There’s a 46-seat flight simulation ride here in New York City that’s exactly like Soarin’, but with an NYC theme. The ride takes guests 30 feet into the air as they “soar” over the city. It’s called RiseNY and is conveniently located in the heart of Times Square. What’s more, it’s also a multi-level immersive museum featuring cool NYC history, pop culture exhibitions, photo opps, etc.
Throughout the entire venue, visitors learn about the rich culture and global impact of the “city that never sleeps.” From an intriguing short film shown inside a theater outfitted with special effects to an interactive display dedicated to hip-hop, RiseNY is a remarkable love letter to New York City. While the ride is the grand finale, the entire experience is an incredible journey through one of the greatest cities in the world.
My family and I have visited twice because it’s just so awesome. If you’re planning a trip to NYC or call the Big Apple home, trust me — this is a must-see attraction that people of all ages will enjoy.
RiseNY has numerous Instagrammable moments like this cool Late Show setup.
The museum features several props and interactive displays from iconic New York City sets like Sesame Street, Sex in the City, and Friends.
As the birthplace of hip-hop, there’s a fun exhibition celebrating the groundbreaking music genre.
That looks like a really fun place. I’m definitely adding it to my list of things to do in NY!! Thanks BGG!!
