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 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.
