We booked the City Exploer Pass for 3 attractions. Very good. We would do it again.
If you're in NY for a short time (1-4 days) and have a good idea of the activities you would like to do, this pass is great. If you are spending 4 or more days in NY and able to do lots of things, possibly the New York Pass would be a better option.We used our pass for Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium, Night Tour by Citysights and Top of the Rock. Night Tour by Citysights was HORRIBLE in cold weather. Ripley's was very cool. Top of the Rock offered great photo opportunity of the Empire State Building and, best of all, we skipped the line!
My family participated in the Top of The Rock tour which was amazing, lines were not too bad. We also did the Museum of Natural History and the kids liked this. Lastly, we did the city bus tour. This was horrible. The traffic was heavy, it took forever to get down the downtown tour. The headphones which were supplied actually shock your ears. This happened to 3 of us and it was painful.
The worst part, I am sorry to say was the bus tour director who was to give the tour history of the sites on the microphone. He kept pounding the mic on his leg and it caused this noise in our ears! He only wanted to talk about the celebs and these sites as well as the sex museum he thought it was cool. He did not make the tour very informative and made it very boring! there was not enough information given with less talk than information.
My family did not like it and said this would not encourage them to even go on another bus tour. Disappointing!
