Wondering Which NYC Pass is Worth the Money?

Question:
Humans say...

We went in July. Didn't buy any passes except for a metro card. The Staten Island ferry is free, so you can see the statue of liberty. MoMA is free on friday nights. The 99 cent pizza is good, as are the halal guys carts. Really, we just walked around and stumbled across pop up street markets and so much more. The tourists that I talked to who had bought passes spent most of their time standing in lineups...

Best bang would be the City Pass for sure. We didn’t buy any when we were there as what we were planning on doing weren’t included. Helicopter ride over Manhattan, tour of Harlem, etc.
The first time there we saw some shows on broadway and wandered around all hours of the night, exploring.
One World is a must see.

I went in September in 2013 and we went for a day trip from Boston left on the first bus and left on the last bus back. Where the bus dropped us off was near a White Castle let’s just say I got heart burn and I had to get gingerale. Got some souvenirs across the street. We only paid for the subway once to get to one place as it was 30 min walk. The rest of the stuff we walked to. The only places we paid for and wanted to see was the Statue of Liberty and we lined up for the rock which wasn’t that big of a line up lol. We got lucky and just happen to walk into things Central Park, Manhattan, etc

Wear the most comfortable shoes ever, walk as much as you can. Central Park is free and one of the most entertaining places in the city if you like people watching. I could JUST do Central Park.

I did the hop on hop off buses and subway to get around worked like a charm!

We bought the city pass from costco. It works well because it's in CAD. We are here right now, I am actually sitting in the Met museum. We had some time to kill so we came here. Museums are not really our thing but since admission was free with the city pass we figured, why not? Some of the other passes get you admission into more things but in 4 days, unless you walk yourself to death everyday, you may not get your money's worth. City pass from Costco.ca gets my vote. And yes a 7 day unlimited metro pass for the subway is a must!

I echo the comments about being prepared with comfy shoes. We loved the MOMA, and took in a Broadway show. We did the city pass and thought it worthwhile also the subway pass...have fun
Tanja
We walked a lot, it’s a great city to navigate and walk from site to site. We did a hop on hop off bus just to get around a bit and the subway and a cab once.

Hop on hop off

We bought our passes online at Costco before going and it was great. Saw all of the highlights and also went to Central Park and rented bikes

Top floor reading room of the NY Public Library is architecture at it’s finest. As is Grand Central Station and the Empire State Building. Wall St. is interesting, esp the historical church at the head of it. Walking the High Line Park is also cool.

If doing a show, check with box office for prices... we did TKTS and only saved a few dollars

City pass: If you have enough air miles, we got ours from there and didn’t have to pay a cent to go to all the sites!!
Nicola
Take the free Staten Island ferry to get a glimpse of Liberty. She’s better viewed from afar anyway in my humble opinion.
