The Guggenheim is an internationally renowned art museum and one of the most significant architectural icons of the 20th century.
With continuous, open spaces flowing freely one into another, the rotunda is a grand, flexible space.
Over 90 feet above the rotunda floor of the Guggenheim, and spanning 58 feet, the building’s skylight, or "oculus," is one of the most iconic in the world.
A monument to modernism, the unique architecture of the interior space, with its spiral ramp riding to a domed skylight, provides a unique forum for the presentation of contemporary art.
In 1990 the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission voted unanimously to designate the Guggenheim Museum an official landmark. It is the youngest building ever to receive such recognition.
The only real way to experience the rotunda is to move along the spiral.
The work of Sarah Crowner is on display at The Wright Restaurant at the museum.

Great way to save money and time. Must CityPass tickets allow you to

I chose the CityPASS C3 since our kids are younger (under 12). It was a fantastic choice. Our tickets were on my phone, so no worries of losing tickets. You could select your venue on the day of and just show your pass. It was a great deal and I would recommend it to anyone and purchase another one again without any hesitation.

My boyfriend and I went on a redeye trip to NYC and since we were only there for a day, we got a C3 pass. It was perfect. It gave us options for attractions while being very affordable for the amount of time we
were there.
Jessica
As we were only spending a few days in the city, the C3 was perfect. It
allowed us to pick the three places that we really wanted to see, and
not feel rushed. The ability to show the passes on mysmartphone for all
6 of us was extremely convenient, and we never had a problem using them
at the places we went to.

Purchased the C3 pass for myself and my son. It allowed us to customize the sites we wanted to see. The mobile option was great! Just showed the agents our smartphones and we were in.

We traveled to New York as a family of 6, and the C3 pass provide us with an affordable option to enjoy a few of NYC's awesome attractions. It was hassle-free, and each vendor was familiar with the pass. We did the mobile pass option...I highly recommend it to anyone, especially large groups.

Best Way to See the City!
With so many options, this pass is the best possible value when touring the city. I used CityPASS in Chicago also, and was very pleased. You can choose from a number of options which make it the perfect plan for any visitor. Be realistic, however. It takes time to get to each activity and then time to enjoy it. So if you're not spending a week to 10 days, don't go crazy with the all-inclusive pass. We were in for four days, and spent from sunrise til the wee hours touring the city. You'll love NYC, and you'll definitely appreciate NYC CityPASS!

Not worth the money!
We purchased the C3 pass and planned to visit three attractions during our three day trip to New York. We had used the City Pass before in Chicago, the pass in Chicago allowed us to skip the lines and head start to the attraction. Our passes in NYC offered no special entrance and due to the extremely long lines we were only able to visit one attraction and with no refund we wasted a lot of money.

I recommend this pass. I'll get it again. The only thing that was confusing was that in some places a scan of the app was all that was needed for entry. In other places, the app got us the ability to purchase a paper pass. We weren't sure what like to get into in each place and ended up waiting in more than one line.

I bought the NY City Pass C3 and don't recommend it. My husband, a partner of us and I had to do the long lines as anyone else, so we did not had any advantage at all from purchasing the passes in advance. The only good thing is the passes were a little bit lower in price than purchasing on site.

Good if you read the fine print
I bought 3 citipasses (C3) used one pass once, and two passes twice, then found out that they expire after 9 days but their branding says “valid for a year”. So four attractions went to waste. Pretty disappointed. Didn’t read the tiny fine print on the bottom of the pass. Would have been great if they weren’t wasted.

Read the fine print
We bought the city past while we were in NYC over Christmas. While this was a tad cheaper, the tickets actually cost us time. When we used them at the Twin Towers Memorial, they had us still stand in line to get the actually tickets for entrance into the memorial. So instead of standing in one line we had to stand in two different lines. When we went to use the city pass to enter into the Top of the Tocj we were told to get a reservation first. So again the city pass didn’t really help. And then when went to use the city pass at the Statue of Liberty, we were turned away because they were sold until past the time we were even in New York.

Increases lines and wait times
I bought city pass for my trip to NYC. I only saved $5 from regular price tickets. The lines were considerably longer than if I would have bought time tickets from each place. For example, I could have bought time tickets for statue cruises. Instead, I had to wait in a 1 hour line to "pick up" tickets and then wait in a 2nd security lined for general admission for 2 hours. If I would have bought a timed ticket, I could have walked straight up within 20 minutes. It was like this at every attraction. We didnt get to visit many places because the wait times were to long including 9/11 museum. Very disappointed

Dissapointed
We purchased a CityPass to use on the Natural History Museum, 9/11 Museum & Empire State Building. After queing for a long time at the 9/11 Museum we were told that we could not purchase the C3 pass there & it had to be done online. So we paid full price for tickets for that. We then purchased our C3 passes online and thought oh well we will also visit the Top Of The Rock. We believed we got a second bonus night time visit to the Empire State but after returning at night be turned away we were left very disappointed. Be careful to read the small print very closely. There is a table hidden within the website that details exactly what you get with each pass. Our fault for not double checking I suppose but be warned because it is not at all clear

Terrible
You would be way better off buying the one off tickets...Unless you are willing to wait in long lines. The lines are so long and the City Pass does not let you skip. We waited an hour at the Empire State Building and got nowhere. The attendant we found after that hour said it would take more than another hour to get to the top with the pass, so we left. We bought scheduled tickets up the one World Trade Center from the One World Trade Center site Premium at Sunset and it was AMAZING. I am from Portland Oregon and have no stake in this. We stood in line for hours at the 911 museum beforehand and still did not get in with the City pass. We only ended up using the City Pass at the Met (which was Great!) . So that was good. But spent ~$175 more than I needed to.
Best tip!! Get the Premium Pass on the One World Trade. We scooted directly through the line to the elevator, up to 102. Sunset doesn't cost extra, but is amazing!!

I did an intensive search and study about different options and I finally choose City Pass C3. There is only one thing they don`t say and I feel dissapointed about... I choose using it at the Top os The Rock, the Empire State and one of the Cruises they offer... In this last activity I had to pay 5 dollars extra without previous advise...
The rest, we safe money buying this pass.

3 Stars for selection of attractions but thats it
Not worth the money. U have to wait on every attraction, first to get ur real ticket and then for the attraction itself. For example, its better to buy the ticket for the empire state building direct there and also the express pass. The express pass is a must have! Otherwise waiting times up to 3 to 4 hrs. Same on Liberty Island and Top of the Rock. Few years ago the citypass included express lanes on most of the attractions but now everyone has it and its not even the real ticket if u purchased it as mobile ticket.

I bought a CityPASS C3 for NYC and am so happy I did-we got to bypass a lot of lines while saving money and didn't have to select specific times for each individual attraction like I may have with individually purchased tickets. Using the mobile pass was super easy and convenient as well. I would highly recommend CityPASS to anyone!

Quite good
I‘ve already seen a lot of things in New York so I bought the C3 Citypass. The savings are not to much but OK. If you know exactly what you want to visit make your calculations and see if savings are good. Not good was e.g. in the Natural Museum of History we had to pay extra to see all exhibits.

Skip the lines? Yeah right....
The main reason we purchased CityPASS was so we could skip the lines at the ticket office. Every place we went required us to take our CityPASS ticket to the ticket office to get the real ticket we needed. We could have waited in the line and purchased a ticket there at the site and it would have been the same thing. Definitely not a time saver like advertised. With the sites we ended up visiting I don't think it saved us any money either. This is a good idea poorly executed.

Convenient
It is very convenient and cheaper. I had an issue when we tried to visit the 9/11 memorial museum. They said they ran out of tickets for citypass users and ask us to come back the next day. So we ended up not using that last ticket since we had our flight the next day.
