Well worth the money!

My husband thought I was a hero for saving him money on our trip to NY, after having to pay for airfare and hotel- We didn't even get to do all the activities and we still came out ahead- I researched several other sites for coupons and this really had everyone beat- would absolutely take advantage of the citypass again!
