Worth it to avoid the queues although a lot of people had them so there were still queues.
Good value for money. I would recommend this for anyone going to New York for the first time as a good introduction to the city. Also buy a 7 day Metro card for the subway and buses with this pass to get you around the city, it costs 29$.
Fantastic trip, with surprising extras. We hand't planned to get mixed up with the Wall Street occupiers but it was the only way through to the theatre. Neither had we planned to join the breast cancer awareness walk but we did. The highlight for my wife was the (free) look around the Chrysler Building foyer. The City Pass worked a treat and we would recommend anyone to use it. The only disappointment was that the Guggenheim was offering such a limited view without notice becuase of refurbishment.
