Reviews
"Great little attraction in Time Square. Quick movie about the history of NYC, followed by small museum on NYC history and then a fun attraction ride. If you are a tourist or local New Yorker, it was pretty cool."
"I had an incredible time at the Rise NY Museum! The exhibits were fascinating and interactive, making the whole experience both fun and educational. The immersive displays gave a unique perspective on New York City's history and culture. I especially enjoyed the high-tech features and the engaging storytelling throughout the museum. It’s a fantastic spot for anyone looking to explore and learn about NYC in an entertaining way. Highly recommended!"
"This is really grat! You see a little movie about history in the recreated historic underground station Town Hall. Than you get a lot about informative and entertaining information in the museum, see filmset and artefacts and and at least you take a great virtual 4D Ride above New York, which you wish to be much longer, because it's simply great! Don't fear this ride, it's suitable for everyone. Even Grandpa! No rollercoster or like. Just a beautiful scenic flight."
"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."
"Certainly an attraction to add to your Family Friendly itinerary when visiting NYC. I really enjoyed all the photo ops and the immersion sets. You can actually touch the items and sit on the chairs for great pictures and it doesn’t look or feel dirty like some of the other overly-visited attractions in NY. The ride was fun at the end. When we went, there was hardly anyone else there (Wednesday around 1PM). We even rode the ride at the end with just a party of 2. A very well-thought out attraction that I would highly recommend."
