The backstory of the building and details of the construction were fascinating! We wouldn’t have gotten all that information just reading the few signs around.

I was never able to access the guide for our self tour. Terribly frustrating. Kept trying to log in, start over, access info. Even tried to get hel from a group tour guide. Dismissed by guide (understandably) but internet was no help.

Kerry, that isn't very good! It sounds like you had trouble accessing the guide. This can usually be fixed pretty easily. Our support team is available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST (contact info in your confirmation email) if you want them to walk you through it. If you're still in NYC, I can help you log in myself!
