    Good value. Got our money's worth from the pass...definitely take the twilight cruise and visit the metro museum of art!!

    Best way to buy tickets for attractions in New york,Top of the rock, straight to front of queue, up the lift fantastic,same with other 2 attractions....its a must get..

  • 21-Sep-2017

    This was our first visit to NYC so we planned to se as much as possible in our five-day visit. For us the explorer pass was ideal and we decided to go for five of the many attractions/venues - Empire state building, Top of the Rock, Statue of Liberty, 9-11 memorial and the Natural history museum. We saved quite a lot on entrance fees and entrance to each of the venues was very quick and easy. Using the explorer pass helped us decide on how to plan our holiday and this worked very well for us. Getting around NY is very easy using the subway and we found that many places were easy to walk to using street maps and GPS just to confirm walking direction. We used the 3 subway ticket to travel around and found that occasionally these tickets didn't let you in onto the platform when swiped so have some spare handy if the station isn't manned. We were very pleased with our visit and have no hesitation in recommending the explorer pass to anyone visiting NYC.

    Didn't save very much money overall with 7 events/admissions. You still have to join a line and get tickets for most admissions in the normal way which can waste time, rather than a faster access queue. Some of the museums listed are free on certain days so don't use the pass for these. Difficult to access info on the App and ended up phoning several places to get more info. No direct link on the App or website to take you direct to the events/museums concerned so needs updating.

    We went to Moma, Top of the Rock, both had quicker queues for pass holders. We were going to go to the Empire state building observatory, decided against it as there was no special queue. We also went to Liberty and Ellis Island. Could have been cheaper without the pass but we had a separate queue. Also went to American museum of natural history and the met. It definitely made it easier having the pass in advance as it encouraged you to see more.

    The city pass was very useful

    The New York Explorer Pass was great value for money. Very easy to use and well known at the different attractions. Only hick-up we had was at the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island - where we could not pre-book - and therefore had to take pot luck as to when we could go. Otherwise an excellent way to ensure that you can see what you like in NYC.

    A MUST HAVE when in NYC! No need to queue for tickets at the Statue of Liberty, entrance at Museums included too! Good deal!

    If any of you intend to stay in New York for a long time at least a week, the explorer pass is the best way to do it. I spend a week in the city, and visited ten attractions. Buying the pass gave me a discount on all the fees to the various attractions.
