    Review of: The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum
    moving tribute
    The inverted fountains with stepped water into the void is a very moving tribute to those lost in 9/11.

    Review of: The Metropolitan Museum of Art
    A must see
    My many visits to this museum reveal the depth of the collections; the layering of historical information provided and always superb special exhibits.

    Review of: Empire State Building
    Top of the World
    Have visitied NYC many times but never visited the Empire State Building. It was so worth the time! The views were stunning, the historical explanations were fascinating, and the staff were very helpful! We used the CitiPass to get into the building which saved time with the many lines required to enter.

    Review of: Top of the Rock
    Cracking view
    Great view as you get to see Empire State Building and a lot of Central Park. In the distance you can make out Statue of Liberty if you get a clear day. We he a 9.30am slot, however there was thick clouds, so no view from the top. The staff advised we can try again later that day, any time in the day and advised that the weather looked like it would clear around 11am. Sooo glad we waited and went up in the afternoon, no queues as well! View was incredible. If you have time and the weather isn’t great, wait it out, you have the whole day to go up!

    Thank you!
    Visiting with family here and what it stands for, will always be an important, special memory to me. Waiting on the ferry, watching the performers was really cool too. Thanks!

    Great

    Review of: The High Line
    Take a walk in the park
    Start at Hudson Yards, at the beginning, and be sure to stop along the way for views of old and brand new NYC. Had the pleasure of enjoying this on a perfect Spring day. Lots of families, kids and seniors (like us) too. A great walk, ending at the Whitney Museum.

    Review of: One World Observatory
    Worth a visit!
    We didn't realise that you could go up the new Trade Centre, until we found it in the New York Pass app. Worth doing! There is an informative show at the top where the guide talks about the different areas of New York and what you can see. We learned a lot!

    Review of: Rockefeller Center
    See the WPA murals
    Visit the security desk and view the WPA era murals, an astounding, very large and room filling series of drawings from the 1930's Worth the time to view in depth.

    Review of: Bryant Park
    An oasis of peace and beauty in the chaos of mid-town Manhattan.
    Bryant park is a lovely oasis surrounded by the skyscrapers old and new of mid-town Manhattan. Do not miss the opportunity to take a stroll through this peaceful park.
