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.

5 Star Experience!

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.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A recommander Le CityPASS 5 attractions était parfait pour une 1ère découverte de New York. facile d'utilisation, nombre d'attractions suffisant. ne pas hésiter même si cela parait onéreux mais quand on calcule toutes les entrées individuellement, on est gagnant!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Vale la pena Me gustó mucho que antes de mi viaje, pude programar las actividades y el tener un pequeño descuento también es bueno. Ya en las atracciones las filas son algo difíciles pues hay mucha gente, esto no es problema de CityPass pero es conveniente mencionar que CityPass no te da un acceso mas rápido ni preferencial solo compras tus boletos de manera anticipada y ya

Rated 5 out of 5 by from CityPASS Having the savings associated with the CityPASS was a benefit to purchasing. Individual ticket prices for a family of four when have been so much more. Scheduling reservations in advance helped us to stay on a schedule and see lots of great things.
