Set below the heliport in a separate building is a film and exhibit that tells the story of transportation in the New York / New Jersey Port District. A twelve minute movie, presented on a screen 195 feet in circumference, shows the mighty transit projects that enable millions of commuters to get around the city. There is also an operating model of the subway running under the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey.
