One of the First things that attracted us to the Pass, years ago, apart from the cost saving was the fact it helped us plan our trip and decide on what to do. Often when visiting a new place you don't know exactly what there is to see and do. These passes really help you plan out your trip.

Hope your trip in the Fall is as amazing as out first trip was. We too are heading back in the Fall. Really can't wait.

Thanks for reading,

Steve

Hi Nigel,

It is the usual case of a few bad experiences and those people shout loudest. A pass can work out badly if you don't plan well and just expect instant entry at the attractions even a silly busy times. This leads to people being disappointed and these are the ones who shout loudest. The many thousands who have a great trip just get on with their lives. We found no correlation with the complaints at to our own experiences. The pass worked fantastically. We are Back in New York in November and will definitely be using a Pass.

Most Cities in the US have Passes available and San Francisco is no exception. You can read about the San Francisco Pass options here.

My wife and I have always wanted to visit NYC and are planning a trip in the fall. There is so much history and so many cool things to see. We have used city passes before in San Diego and I think there is a lot of value there. You don’t have to pay each time you want to go do something which is nice. Also, I like the variety of attractions that is available with these passes. For someone like me who doesn’t necessarily know what exactly to see, this pass kind of has it laid out for you. The pass has a lot of the big attractions and some that I probably wouldn’t otherwise know of. Very interesting read, thank you for sharing.

It surprises me how passes like this get a bad wrap. Having read your article and checked out the various options, I find the pass prices very reasonable. Coming from Australia where I think we’ve become a very expensive country in the last 10-15 years, the cost of visiting 3-5 attraction plus all the travel around the city of New York is very acceptable. I visited San Francisco earlier this year, unfortunately not long enough to look at passes for this length of time in the area. Does San Fran also have these passes?

Hi Lyndsay,

Glad yo see you like the idea of the Pass. One of the advantages is that you can experience things you maybe wouldn't do or even be aware of without the Pass. Hope you make it to New York Soon and can enjoy the advantages of the Pass.

Thanks for reading.

Very informative article. I have been to NYC many times and had no idea such a thing existed but what a brilliant idea so you can chose destinations within the city that you would not normally go to outside the popular tourist spots. The price is also very reasonable with a ton of value. Thankful for this information. Lyndsay

I’m definitely going to put this website in my favorites bar! My boyfriend and I are always trying to find ways to save money while traveling, and this is beyond helpful. New York might have to be one of the first places on our list now, thanks to this article. I never knew the passes existed!

In reply to Adam. Hi Adam, Thanks for the comment. We don't know of any comprehensive lists of what you have mentioned. While quite a few of the attractions require Timed tickets for most it's just a case of getting the NEXT tour. For most attractions apart from at very busy times, this is basically instant access. We think a full list of Timed attractions and Express lines would be very useful but with 78 attractions at present that will take some time to compile. For now, when viewing any of the attractions there is a details tab listing details of how to redeem the attraction. Check out our Top Of The Rock Review and Empire State building Experience posts for info on how the Ticketing works. In short, the Empire State building the pass works as a ticket and you simply head up, Bypassing the Ticket line. For the TOTR You have a dedicated VIP Queue line to get a Timed Ticket to head to the top. Thanks Steve

Thanks for putting out such an extensive account of the passes.

I had a few questions:
– Where can I get alist of the timed attractions?
– Where can I get a list of attractions where there is a special queue for pass holders
– How does one use the pass at the TOTR and ESB?

Thanks in advance
