I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I went to New York in November 2009 for the second time. The first time (April 2001) I went there by myself and I fell in love with NY. And the second time I went with my boyfriend, so this time I wanted to take him to all the big attractions and other beautiful places in the city, and what a great way to do it with the New York Pass. We stayed there for 10 days so we purchased the 7-days New York Pass. It included almost every place we wanted to go to, and that was great. Ten days was not enough for us to explore this amazing city but the New York Pass sure helped a lot. We didn't have to wait in the line to enter places, we saved money, and we got additional discounts too!
It was also great to be able to buy it from home, online. When we got there, we only had to pick it up at Planet Hollywood (which is located in Times Square, great location, near everything) and start using it! Plus, the city guide that comes with the New York Pass came very handy. It has very good descriptions of all the attractions included in the NYP and other useful information such as how to get there (subway, bus).
Purchasing the New York Pass was the best thing I could have done. We saved money and time!
I recommended it to everyone back home.

purchased the New York Pass in November 2009 and used during our visit to New York in early December.
I feel that the pass was, in my opinion, the best way of getting to know places of interest, from the write-ups in the booklet, and also saving time in queues and money.
I would definitely purchase one again when we return.

New York Pass was great savings. We saved almost $75 on each pass(total savings=$150) by using the New York Pass. We planned our day to cover most of the attractions in one day. The booklet was helpful in planning.
