Random Musings of a Curious Mind

New York CityPass

There are many cities, all over the world, that I want to see before I die. New York City is pretty near the top of that list. But, it's so expensive; especially if you don't know the city, and don't know where and when to go.

That's why the New York CityPass is such a great idea. It includes tickets to six (6) different attractions: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Guggenheim Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, a trip to the Empire State Building Observatory, and a water tour of Manhattan on a Circle Line Sightseeing Cruise. If that weren't enough, you get a map, public transportation information, and tips on the best time to visit each attraction.

I know that it sounds great already, but it actually gets even better. When you buy the New York CityPass, you pay half the cost of individual tickets to each attraction. That's right - adults get $130.00 worth of tickets for just $65.00. The CityPass for ages 12-17 is also 50% less than the normal ticket prices. Not to mention, if you have your tickets, at a lot of these attractions you can eliminate standing in line with the people who didn't plan ahead.

Since, the Winter Special is good for 3 months, from December 15 to March 15, you have plenty of time to plan your vacation. If you're in a hurry or planning to give the CityPass as a gift, there are overnight delivery and gift wrapping options available. They'll even include a gift card.

Me? I'm looking forward to seeing the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture and amazing exhibits at the Guggenheim, plus the free audio tour at MoMA. But what will, undoubtedly, be the most exciting attraction, for both of us, is the American Museum of Natural History. Just imagine being able to see a Space Show in the Hayden Planetarium, explore the world's most important collection of dinosaurs, visit a re-creation of an African rain forest, and go whale watching in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life - all in one place.

We may never come out!
