    For new visitors and those who want to revisit

    New York City Pass highlights the prime tourist spots in New York for those who are in they city for the first time or want to revisit the city with fresh eyes. Having timed tickets is not only convenient but definitely decreased the time lining up to see the sights. It was definitely worth it to purchase the City PASS.

    City pass

    I can’t recommend enough the positives of having this city pass. Made seeing the sites a lot easier. Only draw back is that for some reason I was the one who made the request but for some reason it would only allow my friend to actually book the events on the day!

    Linda_C · September 2026

    City Pass

    Great value for money. Used it to see a lot of sites in New York. Was able to book time slots to suit us . When seeing new places

    Brian_G · September 2026

    GreenHorn to NYC.!!

    The pass works great , you just need to know you’ll have to buy separate tickets for other things such as audio tours or in my case to the top of the Empire State Building and the pedestal @ the Statue of Liberty !! Be sure to get all your info !!!

    via Viator

    Alejandra_A · August 2026

    Fair deal

    It's quite convenient to have your tickets in hand and not have to make a line to purchase them there. I wish they had more variety of attractions, but it's still a good deal and a good way to explore a new city

    New York CityPASS®: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.

    How much does New York CityPASS® cost?

    +

    Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does New York CityPASS® take?

    +

    Plan for about 216 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.

    Is New York CityPASS® worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 2,147 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule New York CityPASS®?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is New York CityPASS® suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 216-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book New York CityPASS®?

    +

    Around 751 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does New York CityPASS® start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in New York?

    +

    New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour in New York. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit New York?

    +

    September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in New York?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in New York CityPASS®?

    +

    Included: Intrepid Museum; 9/11 Memorial & Museum; Guggenheim Museum; Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises; and Statue of Liberty Grounds and Ellis Island. Not included: Transportation to/from attractions; Statue of Liberty Monument or Crown access; and Some attractions may offer additional ticket upgrades available directly at the attraction. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for New York CityPASS®?

    +

    The experience starts at Empire State Building, 20 West 34th Street, New York City, New York, 10001, United States. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is New York CityPASS® offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Portuguese, Japanese, English, Chinese, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for New York CityPASS®?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is New York CityPASS® wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
