General Information

What is the NY SKYRIDE?

NY SKYRIDE is New York’s one and only virtual tour simulator.  It is an adventure tour of New York City narrated by actor Kevin Bacon , who takes guests soaring through Manhattan and the Big Apple skyline, gliding past the Statue of Liberty, dodging city cabs in Times Square, popping over Yankee Stadium, and buzzing past the Brooklyn Bridge, South Street Seaport and United Nations, among the 30+ New York places to see.  Guests are seated on a specially designed platform, enjoying an HD adventure synchronized to an 18 foot/6 meter large format screen.  
 
NY SKYRIDE is located on the second floor of the Empire State Building.  Not only are we a great NYC Tourist Attraction but Empire State Building Tours are greatly enhanced with our unique New York sightseeing trip. 



Through the magic of flight simulation, guests “fly over” over 30 sights New York is famous for without ever leaving the second floor of the ESB.  The half hour complete experience includes 2 static pre-shows called “I am New York”, a perspective of the history of the Empire State Building and “Top 10 Things to do in New York”, a presentation on all that New York has to offer visitors.
