Q&A
A: The age limit for kids on the Zip Aviation helicopter tour is that children must be at least 2 years old to fly. However, they have to sit in their own seat, so you'll need to purchase a ticket for them. It's a fantastic experience for families—just make sure your little ones are ready for the excitement of flying!
A: If the weather conditions aren’t safe for flying, Zip Aviation will reschedule your tour at no extra cost. They'll keep you updated leading up to your flight, and usually reach out the day before if they think there might be an issue. Just be flexible with your schedule in case you need to pick another date!
A: Parking can be a bit tricky in that area, especially on weekends. There are some paid parking lots nearby, but I'd recommend using public transport if possible. The closest subway stop is around a 10-minute walk from their heliport, which makes it a lot easier than driving!

Just took the NYC helicopter tour—amazing experience!
I went on the New York Manhattan Scenic Helicopter Tour last weekend, and it was unreal! The views of the skyline were breathtaking, especially flying over the Statue of Liberty and Central Park. It was only about 18 minutes, but honestly, it felt like the perfect length—long enough to soak it all in without getting overwhelmed. I think it’s a fantastic gift idea for anyone visiting the city! Just be ready for some noise and bring your phone for pics!
Considering gifting the helicopter tour—any thoughts?
I'm thinking about getting this helicopter tour for my boyfriend’s birthday. He loves NYC, and I think the view from above would blow his mind. Just wondering if it’s worth the price and if it’s a good experience for someone who's never been in a helicopter before? Anyone have thoughts?
