Whether you’re running, cheering, or just soaking in the energy, NYC is buzzing with events, landmarks, and unforgettable experiences.

One must-visit spot offering a special deal this marathon weekend? RiseNY — an immersive journey through New York’s history and culture — where tickets will be $26.20* plus service fee and applicable sales tax, available in person at the box office November 1–3 only.
1. Experience the Energy of Marathon Sunday

2. Celebrate NYC at RiseNY — and Soar Above the City
After cheering on the runners, keep the adrenaline going at RiseNY, located just steps from Times Square. This one-of-a-kind attraction takes you on a cinematic journey through New York’s past — from its skyline and music to Broadway and pop culture — before lifting you into the air for a thrilling flight simulation above the city.
