I came here with my daughter while visiting the city. I would recommend not rushing through the museum part of this experience. There is a nice variety of fun facts about the history of the NYE ball drop, skyscrapers, the fashion industry and television as they relate to NYC. The culmination is a very cool IMAX like ride that flies you over New York. The ride is spectacular!

Ok, so I wrote a review last year- gave them 5 stars because it was a 5-star experience. I went back and brought my boyfriend because I had raved and raved about this place.
I bought 2 VIP tickets- when I visited in December, the VIP got you to the front of the line (which is not really anything to pay extra for), you got to take a pic on the statue of liberty torch, a posted from the gift shop, and a second turn on the ride.
The place itself is the same and it is worth going through, but apparently the business has been sold, the new operators still offer the VIP experience, but it no longer includes the second ride, and the day we were there, we were told they didn't have enough staff to do the picture on the torch and that the second ride was stopped because it was causing a problems due to crowding and I was told I should have read the fine print. Rude.
It was not busy at all- we could have easily gone around and taken the ride again without a problem but nope.
I got 4 posters when I was there last ,got 2 free and bought two. There was one I wanted but didn't get- I was told that I could get it in their online store- it was never available on there, and when I went back to get it, they don't have it any more- they have a "different selection" now.
So, I still recommend going, I just do not recommend you pay extra for the VIP because there is not a "VIP" experience. They should not offer it at all- it was a total rip-off.
I won't go back since I have done it twice now. Just get the regular tickets- and do book ahead, it does get crowded later in the day. Both times I went when they first opened at 10 am- hardly a crowd- but leaving, the line was out the door.
Still mad that I paid almost double for an experience that I didn't get.

As a NYer now living outside of NY this exhibit and attraction was excellent. the exhibit encapsulates all aspects of NYC from entertainment and lifestyle.
The ride at the end was amazing. If you have ever been at Epcot and have been lucky to ride Soarin over the world you will understand this ride. It is similar but the only way I could explain it was instead of flying over the world - it flew over my heart.
