What travelers are saying
- jojo71_40West Bromwich, UK219 contributionswe arrived at Rise NY just after opening time - its next door to the broadway museum wich we planned to do next, so perfect location. The staff were so freindly and approachable and excited they had visitors and it was quiet in there - a few before and after us. I abs loved loved this - i had no idea the amount of exhibitions they would have in there - Bob Dylan Guitar and Madonna dress you up jacket was a great surprise for me as i am big fan of both. All the exhibitions are great and inforamative and give you great photo opportunities. The ride at the end though was the icing on the cake - OH MY - it was amazing, just like we were flying over New York and all its sites - i really wanted to do it again as soon as we got off it. My husband had a really good time too and loved the Hip Hop section
please go and give it a visit you wont regret it - and the broadway musueum next door is really worth a visit tooWritten October 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The game itself was fun and made me work up a sweat which is always good.Written January 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland31,566 contributionsNote that this is located in the wrong place on Trip Advisor. It’s a great venue for activities and for people that enjoy sports.Written February 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Arlette JLondon, UK794 contributionsLovely little store. Great display of past consoles etc. large screens to play the games ..some games to purchase, soft toys clothes etc..I didnt go for the clothes and thought not that great quality to be honest..otherwise idea cool.Written November 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Janet RFarnworth, UK153 contributionsWent Saturday night to the 7pm show. Friendly staff, some very funny comedians (a couple not so funny) and then Chris Rock turned up.as the final act of the evening which was good.
We ordered nachos which weren't great and it is very compact so not really comfortable to eat at your table.
An enjoyable evening though and worth a visit if in New YorkWritten November 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We paid $144 for an hour's skating with skate hire.
The rink is quite small compared to the Wolman Rink in Central Park.
The boots are very hard and will hurt your ankles, but hey.....it's Christmas and you're skating at Rockefeller !!Written December 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jennifer HColumbus, OH655 contributionsAs others have said, it’s really expensive. $80 for my ten year old and me to rent skates and access the rink. Plus $8 for a locker, which seems even more outrageous. The rink is large but it is busy. The ice is rough but the views are beautiful. We went after dark. We didn’t want to skate that long after walking all over the city all day. I’m glad we did it but I don’t think I’d do it again. Not worth the expense and wait.Written January 1, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland31,566 contributionsThis is the highly controversial ice rink that is known as the Trump or the Woolman Rink. Believe many of the workers did not get paid.Written November 12, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Elise GHudson River Valley, NY1,315 contributionsThough this review is not written about a track experience, we attended a music and dance performance at the Armory and were in awe of the venue.
Before the show, it was lovely to tour around the different rooms, there was plenty of room, acoustics were great, seats were comfortable and all in all, a wonderful venue for performance art.
The location is great as one does not encounter the crowds of Broadway and other neighborhoods in Manhattan.Written October 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We have 3 children ages 4,8 & 10.
They had a great time cooling off in the splash pads and fountains.
Would highly recommend, especially in the heat of summerWritten August 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We brought our soon to be 9 yo daughter and thought it was really fun. We did have some difficulty but almost finished but time ran out as you only have 1 hour to complete.Written March 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Linda LCairo12 contributionsi went there to see Sam Heughan and Josh Horowitz do a live podcast. the theater is a decent size and has an interesting balcony. most everyone i spoke with could see well wherever they were seated. they had no trouble accomodating me in my electric wheelchair. they keep a space in the front row on the aisle for handicapped peopleWritten February 28, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Navigate031715988071 contributionI'm not really someone who writes reviews, but as someone who has done well over 50 escape rooms, I have to say the Escape Game has never been topped. The Special Ops: Mysterious Market is probably my favorite escape room of all time (story wise, immersion wise, puzzle wise, etc), and I've found all the rooms to be such a rewarding level of difficulty and cleverness. I've now done all of them at the NYC location (most recently the Only Murders one, which was VERY unique and fun), and I've also done some of their rooms at their other locations, such as Mission Mars, which was another top room of all time. The design and care put into the rooms is unmatched, and I can't recommend them enough! The workers are friendly and understanding as well, and it's a great time!Written November 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Courtney C16 contributionsI LOVE this gym! I came to NYC on business for 6 weeks and the staff (and fellow climbers) were so wonderful to me! It definitely created a climbing community for me outside of my home gym. The facilities are great with some really fun/challenging climbs. Definitely check them out when you're in Manhattan!Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
