CityPASS New York – NYC Insider Notes

Statue of Liberty – getting Statue of Liberty tickets for INSIDE the Statue of Liberty Museum is difficult and there is only ONE way to get this reservation. Do not confuse getting a reservation for Statue of Liberty tickets with the New York City Pass Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Cruise to Liberty Island to walk the Liberty Grounds.


City Pass New York – How it Works

New York CityPASS – either the booklet or smartphone bar code – contains your discounted admission to six of New York’s most famous attractions.

How to get the get the New York CityPASS :

Placing Orders

When placing orders for the New York CityPASS, you receive an email containing a mobile ticket with a barcode that is simply presented on a mobile device for entry into the attractions. 

There is also the option to print the e-ticket— the printed e-ticket is presented for entry at the participating attractions, they are not vouchers to be redeemed for ticket booklets.

Every attraction has signs indicating where CityPASS ticket holders may present their tickets to avoid most entrance ticket lines. However, these are the most-popular attractions in New York City – and the U.S. – and there may be lines in summer, on weekends and holidays. In addition, there are unavoidable airport-like security lines to clear at the Empire State Building and before boarding a Statue Cruises ferry to visit Ellis and Liberty islands.


New York CityPASS – Testimonials

★★★★★

nyctraveller – Minnesota
For someone who wants to experience as much as possible on a trip, the city pass was perfect. I will be recommending that my Dad picks up a City Pass New York on his planned visit to NYC. Loved skipping the lines at the Top of the Rock to view the sun setting on Manhattan, we would have missed it otherwise!

★★★★★

Jennifer – San Diego, CA
Just returned from my first trip to NYC. Bought the City Pass at the recommendation of a friend. It was more than worth it. Not only does it save a few dollars overall, but more importantly to me is it allows you in the ‘VIP’ or group entrances and you can save so much time not waiting in the long lines everywhere…which allows more time for sight-seeing! Will definitely use CityPass again!

michelle – edinburgh
Absolutely brilliant value when you do the math. We were in NYC for 6 days and used all our vouchers making it well worth it. I will be recommending this to anyone I knwo is going to New York and would consider buying a pass if i visited any of the other cities on offer. To save money on travel also, buy a weekly metro pass for $27 for all buses & subway trips for 7 days! You know it makes sense.

★★★★★

Daniel – Basque Country
CityPass covers the main attractions for a first time visit to NYC of about 7 days. The best part of it is skipping the lines. So get your citypass but don’ t tell anybody else! And don´t forget what is not included in the pass: go to a musical, a basketball game, dine in Soho, stroll around the streets, etc. And visit Rockefeller Center at 4:30 pm on a Wednesday and say hi to the grannies.
