The New York Pass®

With The New York Pass® from Go City you buy days instead of attractions, anywhere from 1 to 10. Whatever you manage to see from the list in that time is paid for. Included are the four observation decks, boat tours, Big Bus, major museums, the 9/11 Museum and the Statue of Liberty ferry. SUMMIT One Vanderbilt and The Met are not in the pass; you can get both with a combo ticket.

What’s included

  • Everything Go City offers You get Go City’s complete New York line-up. That includes the observation decks at the Empire State Building, Top of the Rock, Edge and One World Observatory, the ferry to Liberty Island and Ellis Island, and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. Museums include MoMA, the American Museum of Natural History, the Guggenheim, the Whitney and the Intrepid. On top come Circle Line boat tours, Big Bus, gardens and zoos outside Manhattan and many walking and guided tours. Every single attraction is listed on the attractions page.
  • Calendar days count According to Go City, the pass counts calendar days from first use. If you start a 3-day pass in the afternoon, half of the first day is already gone. You have one year from purchase to activate it.
  • Sample day in Lower Manhattan An early ferry to the Statue of Liberty (about $26), then the 9/11 Museum (about $36), One World Observatory in the afternoon (about $48) and Edge in the evening (about $69). Without a pass, that comes to around $178 according to Go City. The price of the 1-day pass is shown above. Each extra day brings the price per day down noticeably.
  • Not included Neither SUMMIT One Vanderbilt nor The Met is part of it. That is why Tiqets sells the New York Pass as a combo ticket with SUMMIT or with a guided Met tour. At the Empire State Building the 86th floor is included; the 102nd floor and the sunset time slot are extras you book in the app.

Reasons to skip it

  • No SUMMIT One Vanderbilt and no Met.
  • Calendar days count. Start late and you waste money.
  • With only one big attraction a day, you pay more than you save.
  • Much of the list is walking tours and smaller museums. The savings come from the expensive sights.

Who the pass suits

The New York Pass pays off if you visit three or four attractions a day and the expensive observation decks are among them. If you only set off at noon on the first day, or plan just one big sight a day, you lose money. In that case the Explorer Pass is the better choice. The price scale also shows that from the sixth day on, the price per day barely changes. For a week-long stay the longer pass is worth it, and you can plan without rushing.

Frequently asked questions

Which New York Pass should I buy?
For most visitors, the New York Explorer Pass: you pick three to six sights and spread them over up to 30 days. If you want to see a lot in two to four days, The New York Pass® is cheaper. If SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is a must on your list, book the pass as a combo ticket with SUMMIT or take the Headout New York Pass.
Is SUMMIT One Vanderbilt included in the New York Pass?
No. None of the Go City passes includes SUMMIT, not the New York Pass, the Explorer or the Essentials, and CityPASS® does not have it either. The way around it: Tiqets sells the Go City passes as a combo ticket with SUMMIT, with 5% off both parts. In the Headout New York Pass you can choose SUMMIT as a premium attraction.
Is there a pass that includes The Met?
Go City and CityPASS® do not include The Met in any pass. At Tiqets you can combine The New York Pass® with a guided tour of The Met lasting around two hours, entry included. The Headout New York Pass offers guided tours of The Met as premium attractions. No pass includes a simple admission without a tour.
Is there a discount code for Go City?
Yes: NYPCITYVERG05. It takes 5% off the Explorer Pass, Essentials Pass and New York Pass on gocity.com. Enter the code at checkout. It does not work at Tiqets, Headout or GetYourGuide.
Can I cancel a Go City pass?
Yes, if you buy directly from Go City. According to Go City, you get your money back within 90 days of purchase as long as the pass has not been activated. If you buy through Tiqets, cancellation is not possible according to Tiqets. Headout and GetYourGuide have their own rules.
Do I have to reserve in advance?
Yes for the Empire State Building, Top of the Rock, Edge, the Statue of Liberty ferry and the 9/11 Museum. One World Observatory needs no reservation with Go City. Go City uses the Go City App for this, CityPASS® the My CityPASS® app. With the Headout Pass you reserve each attraction separately after buying. With Go City, many museums need no reservation.
From what age do you pay the adult price?
Go City: from 13. Children (3 to 12) have their own price. CityPASS®: from 18, children are 6 to 17. C3® and C-All®: again from 13. Headout Pass: adults 13 to 99, children 5 to 12.
Can I go up to the crown of the Statue of Liberty with the pass?
No. Go City and CityPASS® cover the official ferry, the grounds of Liberty Island and Ellis Island, the museums and an audio guide. For the pedestal and crown you need a ticket directly from Statue City Cruises.
Is the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building included?
No, not in any pass. Go City, CityPASS® and Headout take you to the 86th floor. If you want to go higher or up at sunset, Go City charges extra in the app.
