If the past couples weeks have you feeling wired, then today's Great Escape was made for you — the outdoor flying trapeze classes taught at Pier 40 in Manhattan.
A uniquely New York activity, students get a never before seen glimpse of New York City and Statue of Liberty all while sailing through the air, not quite with the greatest of ease, but definitely with a smile on their face.
Dedicated to bringing the art of flying trapeze to almost anyone interested, the Flying Trapeze School of New York creates a safe, fun, challenging environment where students test the bounds of gravity and share a few laughs.
