A great way to skip lines. My friend had the explorer one and this was the same price and so much better!
Booked the NY City Pass for myself and husband. We used every single ticket in the book and it was truly amazing value. We even used the $2 discount on the Guttenheim which was truly fantastic. Did the 2 hour boat trip and the commentator was very knowledgeable - I thought he was actually a recorded voice at first! We were lucky not to have to queue to get into anything at all but there is a separate line for pass holders so you would cut out the major queue if were busy. I would highly recommend this as we got our money back after the first two landmarks. There are others available but this one lasts for 9 days once activated unlike the others. Go for it, you really cant beat the price!
Good options and good value for money. On a personal note, I think it would have been fairer for the and/or optional ticket choice to be between the Guggenheim and MOMA rather than between the Top of the Rock and Guggenheim and the fact that you couldn't get the money off the bus tour until you picked up the booklet from one of the places was a pain, as all the bus tours stop at all these places. So we ended up missing out on this and purchasing tickets anyway in order to get to our first destination.
