Is it worth buying a sightseeing pass for New York City?
If you’re thinking about getting a sightseeing pass for your trip to New York City, consider the following to make your decision:
- How many days will you be in NYC? Some of the passes are sold by duration and others by number of attractions. Consider how much time you’ll need for each attraction and whether it’s worth spending your time at the attractions that each pass offers.
- You will save money… maybe. Make a list of the things you really want to do while in NYC. Then add up the costs for each admission and see if you’ll really be saving money.
- Is this your first visit to NYC? If you don’t know anyone in the city and this is your first time, you may not know what to do. These sightseeing passes are a great way to have an itinerary made for you.
- На тій же ноті, if you’re really good at planning your own itineraries, check out when some of the museums included with the pass have free or pay as you wish days. You can plan out your days to where you go to the museums for free, so a pass may not even be worth it.
- Are you short on time? Buy a pass and make sure you get your money’s worth by visiting all of them. Or don’t buy a pass because your travel style may not be to rush from place to place. Take time to really get to know one attraction. Or just go with the flow and see where your day takes you.
These are some points to help you make a decision. So if you have decided to purchase a pass, read below for our summaries of each tourist pass.
What’s the best pass for NYC?
This is going to depend on the number of days, your travel style and what you want to see so only you can decide. But if you’re still having a hard time deciding after reading each of these summaries below, our conclusion is if it’s your first trip to NYC, отримати New York CityPASS and if you have more than three days to spend in the city, отримати New York Sightseeing Pass. (See below and read summaries to make a conclusion for yourself.)

New York City Tourist Passes Summaries

Child: $108 ($64 for C3)
What makes the New York CityPASS different from the others?
This is the only pass that does not include a hop-on hop-off bus tour. But it does have all the top must-visit NYC attractions, plus an Empire State Building admission that allows you to visit twice – once in the daytime and later in the evening.
Суть: Get the New York CityPASS if…
Skip the C3 and get the New York CityPASS. You aren’t saving much with C3 if you don’t go to both the Empire State Building and Top of the Rock. Meanwhile the New York CityPASS includes all the classic must-visits for tourists so you will be saving money since you’re likely to do all of the attractions anyway.
