The
Roosevelt Island Aerial Tram is not only a great, inexpensive way to travel from Manhattan to
Roosevelt Island, but also provides an amazing view of the New York City skyline during your ride. The TramPlaza is located in midtown Manhattan, transporting you to a red mini-bus on
Roosevelt Island that you can then board and travel on throughout the island for a fee even smaller than that of the tram. Highlights of the island itself include five parks, six historic landmarks and a wealth of history.
Whether you're actually needing to make your way to Roosevelt Island or are just looking for an exciting way to see the sights of New York City, the Roosevelt Island Aerial Tram is what you need. It is the only aerial commuter tram in the nation, and an inexpensive way to explore and travel through New York City. The ride from the TramPlaza to Roosevelt Island lasts approximately four minutes.
