237 West 42nd Street, New York, New York

Your New York adventure just got easier (and less expensive) with the sightseeing card that offers access to more than 80 things to do, including the city’s most iconic activities and attractions. With fast-track access at many museums and locations and an informative guidebook to help you plan your itinerary, the New York Pass lets you spend more time exploring, instead of wasting your precious New York minutes in line.

How it Works
The New York pass is a smart card, about the size of a credit card, that lets you enter attractions cash-free. Simply show your card to the attendant at each attraction so they can swipe it and let you in. Your pass is activated when you visit your first attraction, and then it's valid for the number of calendar days you select.

There's no limit to the number of attractions you can visit during that time frame, so you can see as many sites as you can fit in—racking up serious savings along the way. Don't want to pack your days too full? Just visiting an average of 3 attractions daily can save you up to US $70 each day that you put the pass to use, and the total value of all included attractions exceeds US $2,000.

Activities and attractions
You can visit as many attractions as you like during the duration of the pass, packing in 5 or 50 depending on your schedule and interests. The New York Pass lets you access more than 80 great Big Apple sites.
