Who the pass suits
Only the Headout Pass lets you choose SUMMIT One Vanderbilt and a guided Met tour. It pays off if you have three to five fixed sights and SUMMIT is one of them. The Bronx Zoo and the New York Aquarium are not available with Go City, but they are here. If you are after many smaller sights or tours, Go City gives you the wider choice.
