Here you are treated to breathtaking panoramas across the rooftops, avenues and byways of the New York Metropolitan areas, to as far away as four neighboring states.
New York Pass grants its holders free entry to the Empire State Building Observation Deck & to 50 other top Attractions in New York City.
When you are visiting Empire State Building with the New York Pass, you can also try the New York Skyride - an awesome aerial tour of New York City that sends you on a ride around, above and even below all the city has to offer… and it is also free for New York Pass holders.
Visiting just those 2 Attractions would cost you over $55 - but with the NY Pass you don't need to pay a cent, and there are still 50 more Attractions to visit.
It really is that easy - See for yourself how this works.

my wife and me had the chance to visit New York from 17th to 21st of December 2009.
At this short stay we took the opportunity to buy two "NewYorkPass" which was a
very good decision. With this pass you get a great overview what to visit in New York
and you safe money as well. We took two bustours (Downtown Loop and Uptown Loop)
and a ride on a three hours ship tour around Manhattan Island.
We visited the MOMA, the Guggenheim and few other museums and had a beautiful view
from the Empire State Building.
From our point of view the New York Pass safes money and makes live easier for tourists.
Best regards from Ingolstadt in Germany.

I am from Ipswich, Suffolk, England. I found the New York Pass a very good purchase - we were able to visit all the wondeful sites with great ease as we also purchased the Hop-on-Hop-off option. This made our visit much easier - I am disabled so would have found getting around using the underground difficult. So all in all a wonderful experience. I am hoping to return in 12mnths time and will purchase the 'pass' again.Thank you so much

We're from Madrid, Spain and we had a great experience early December 2009 buying the New York Pass card, which gave us the opportunity of knowing a few important places in NYC, including tour buses, at a very good price. It was really pitiful that we didin´t have as much time as we had wanted to know more sites and keep on enjoying the NY Pass.
We strongly recommend it to our friends traveling to NY and we know for sure that some of them have bought it as well.
Believe me, next time it will be more than two days
