we were given the impression that by purchasing this pass we would avoid long lines, not so.... and being that is was our first time in NY we thought purchasing the 2day pass would have been a bargain for the 80 sights it covered unfortunately in two days we covered 5 sights
Simply brilliant. This pass is so much better value than the one that is widely advertised that only lets you in to 9 attractions. There are 80 on list. I couldn't believe the great value. In three days I managed to do all the major things like the Empire State Building, Top of the Rock, Radio City, 9/11 memorial, MoMA, Guggenheim, The Met, Intrepid, and the River Taxi. The fact that you get 4 river trips included is brilliant. All the venues knew about the pass it was really simple and in many places you skipped the lines. I went to other places that I didn't even know about had it not been for the pass (Discovery). Simply put this is great value if you want to do the main tourist attractions in New York. Just make sure you get this one - rather than the other pass.
New York City Pass was fantastic - Excellent service provided form all staff - Tour operator on the bus was extremely knowledgeable
