Overall rating

based on 5,989 reviews

I took the 5 attractions and we didn't have any problems. The Empire State and Museum of Natural History must be booked in advance, everything else was not necessary. In addition to the two, we visited The Edge, Top of The Rock and MoMa. Just present the QRCod at the box office, pick up your ticket and have fun.

Smooth process in New York and it is gratifying that you have a really big saving compared to the normal entrance fees, guides or even the rental bikes. We recommend:)

It was very easy to get in to the attractions and we saved a good bit of money from buying this pass.

Andy did a great job telling us about the different sites and explaining their history.

Very quick entrance

I loved the gardens and the palace inside. Everything was amazing.
