Which Group Flight Simulator Event in NYC Fits Your Group?

Today, up to 6 people per session at our current studio. The Midtown studio opens September 22, 2026 at 35 West 31st Street, Suite 901. Events for up to 16 people across the full simulator lineup follow once the Cirrus simulators arrive, delayed to 2027. 16 is a planning target rather than a hard wall: a couple over is manageable at the same price.

No. Instructors run the briefing and keep every session accessible for first-timers. Pilot groups get scenarios matched to their experience instead.

Kids ages 8 to 16 are hosted through birthday parties and youth sessions with patient, kid-friendly instructors. See the birthday party page for details.

Two or three hours. Group size picks which, not the price: smaller groups fit the two-hour event, larger ones take three hours so everyone still gets real time at the controls. Every session opens with a briefing and closes with a debrief.

No. This is a professional simulator training facility, and that is the point. You fly an FAA-certified training device used by private pilot and instrument rating students, led by an instructor who flies professionally for an airline rather than by a host. Groups do celebrate here, and each audience has its own page with the packages that apply to them.

Yes, and there is no charge for it. Guests watch from inside the room and see exactly what the pilot sees, from the instrument panel to the outside scenery. Published guest capacities already include everyone watching. Photos and video are encouraged.

Nothing but comfortable shoes, since you use rudder pedals much like driving. No experience, preparation, or special clothing is needed, and the instructor covers everything in the opening briefing. Groups often bring their own food and drinks for the lounge.

Start on the page that matches your group and send a request from there. The Midtown studio opens September 22, 2026 at 35 West 31st Street, Suite 901. The Cirrus simulators are delayed to 2027, and events using them stay quote-first until online booking opens. A request is what holds your place in the queue for a given date, and December dates are confirmed in the order requests arrive.
