New York CityPASS
Lovin' the Big Apple
This was our first time using a CityPASS. We were planning our trip when we saw several activity passes for New York. This was the best option for us since we were only staying for 5 days. When we got to the various attractions, we compared prices. We saved a lot! I've now recommended this pass to friends who plan a trip to the Big Apple. We would definitely buy one again when we visit another big city. New York CityPASS
A great way to view the wonderful city of New York on a budget! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed all of our days out on this pass and were impressed with the amount we saved, leaving me more money to shop with!! 5 Star Experience!
My family just returned from our wonderful trip in New York City and this pass made it able to see all of the famous attractions in little time and for a wonderful price. I would DEFINITELY recommend this pass to anyone who wants to see more... For less!New York CityPASS
Totally worth it! Saved us a lot of time and energy! In the city that never sleeps, every minute counts!!! Great buy!
We loved the city pass! It allowed for flexibility in our days as well as allowed us to feel like we got our money's worth, without the pressure of feeling like we needed to stay in each museum or landmark all day. I will definitely continue to use CityPASS for the cities where available.

Super easy to set up and use .
We bought City passes for our trip to New York. They were simple to set up and worked a treat .No queuing at any of the attractions and we were early for some .We were a bit sceptical at first because we have never needed to pree book but we would definitely use them again .

Very recommended
Really really worth and it was really easy to rebook the experiences (which is really handy because the weather in the winter is quite unstable).

Best thing I bought for NY
Brought a New York CityPASS for a 5 day visit in January. So much easier booking tickets through one app and booking times for visits. So much easier and saved us money too. Tickets are stored in the app so no hunting for emails. Extra added bonus was being able to visit the Empire State in the evening. Definitely recommend getting this.

Its a good pass to look around the main attractios
I think its a good pass to look around the city’s main attractions , but I would love it if it would’ve included edge building as well. Also there was no expedited entry or fast tracked entry with city pass in any of the attractions, which would be a very good value addition to buy it

A great way to see NYC
I bought the CityPASS for a September 2021 baseball trip to NYC when the Mets and Yankees were in town and it was the perfect way to plan my non baseball schedule. Back then, it was six activities, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art was included (that was one I chose and I hope they bring it back in the future), but I think it's still a good value with five. The other five I chose were AMNH, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, the Circle Line Landmarks Cruise, and the observation decks at the Empire State Building and Top of the Rock. I loved them all, especially seeing the Nature of Color at AMNH, the Statue of Liberty on the Landmarks Cruise, the views of the city at both observation decks, and of course the moving exhibits at the 9/11 memorial. I hope they bring the Met back in the future.
