I had a really good experience with the Pass. In the 4 days/3 nights we were there we went to the wax museum, History museum, statue of liberty, wax museum, Rockefeller Bldg., Empire State building. Being able to walk in w/out having to figure out how much everything costs was a bonus. I would have liked to be able to have in-out privileges for the day on at least one of the attractions due to inclement weather. Other than that it was a great buy in my opinion

The New York Pass was great! Without it, my boyfriend and I wouldn't have seen half the attractions we did. We managed to get to many of New York's main attractions and some of the smaller ones so the pass proved to be well worth the price. Getting VIP treatment, discounts on things and skipping lines were also nice :)
The most memorable activities we did with the pass that we probably wouldn't have otherwise, were:
- Circle Line Cruise
- Food On Foot Tours
- Madison Square Gardens Tour
- Madame Tussaud's
I would highly recommend the New York Pass (and already have) to my friends and family!
Thanks for making my first time in New York a great experience.

My sons had a blast using the pass. They went with their grandma to NY for the day.
It was all great. They ate at Plant Hollywood, the got some history at the intrepid and uss new york, had fun
being the Paparazzi at Madame Trussauds.
And I had peace of mind that everything was paid for in advance. No problems.
The guide book was very helpful in planning their day.
I is also a favorite book to look at home.
We want to do another day in NY for their next school break.
The pass is definetly the way to go.
