NY SKYRIDE runs all day from 8AM to 10PM, 365 days a year (with curtailed hours on Christmas eve, Christmas Day, New Years eve and New Years Day). The quietest times for us are in the morning and lunchtime but that can vary.

Are there any specific health or height requirements?

As with any moving attraction there are certain precautions needed.  People with a history of heart ailments, neck or back pain, motion sickness, fainting or dizzy spells should exercise caution.  Pregnant women should not ride the NY SKYRIDE .  Minimum height for the NY SKYRIDE is 36”.  Children may not sit in laps and must be able to sit in a seat by themselves.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

This Times Square seafood super-shack is something of a theme park for fans of Tom Hanks’s 1994 film. Bubba Gump’s shrimped-out menu runs the seafood gamut from a poboy to stuffed shrimp to a mess of fish and fries called Boat Trash. Buzzing, bustling and fun for kids, Gump’s brings a bit of down-home Hollywood charm to the heart of Broadway.
