New York Attraction Passes, Museum Tickets and Broadway Seats
New York has more museums, observatories, monuments and stages than any single trip can hold. The city's attraction passes exist to make the choosing cheaper — not to make it for you.
We book every major New York pass, along with individual museum entries, observatory tickets and Broadway seats. What we add is the part that isn't on the pass websites: which one actually fits the trip you're taking.
A pass makes sense when it matches your pace. Some cover a fixed number of attractions and give you a generous window to use them. Others are unlimited within a set number of days and reward a fast, full itinerary. Picking the wrong shape is the most common way travelers lose money on a pass, and it is easily avoided.
Below are the passes and tickets we book most often. If you'd rather not compare them yourself, tell us what you have in mind and we'll match you to the right one.
Broadway Shows and Musicals
We have direct access to the Broadway box offices, which means we can place you in the seats that matter: orchestra and front mezzanine, with premium and VIP tiers available for the shows that sell out furthest ahead.
Balcony and mid-range seating is available too. Tell us the show and the date, and we'll come back with what's actually open — not what a resale site claims is open.

What to Visit during your Stay in New York City?
Across the five boroughs, New York holds an extraordinary number of museums, galleries, observatories and landmarks. Most visitors arrive with a list, discover the list was optimistic, and spend the trip negotiating with it.
That's normal, and it's fine. What matters is choosing well rather than choosing everything.
Which Pass Suits Which Trip
The passes differ less in price than in shape. Getting the shape right is most of the decision.
A fixed number of attractions, a long window. The New York CityPASS® works this way: five attractions of your choice from a curated list of ten, and nine days to use them. It suits a first visit of five days or more, and travelers who want the headline sights covered without a tight schedule. Since the 2026–27 update, all five are freely chosen — which makes it far more useful for anyone returning to the city.
A fixed number of attractions, a wide catalogue. The New York Explorer Pass let you pick how many attractions you want — anywhere from two to ten — from a much longer list that includes tours, cruises and activities alongside the museums. Better for travelers with specific interests that fall outside the classic top ten.
Unlimited, within a set number of days. TheNew York Pass place no cap on how much you visit — the limit is time, not quantity. These reward a dense itinerary: three or more attractions a day, most days. If that sounds exhausting rather than exciting, one of the fixed-count passes will serve you better and cost less.
Just one or two things. Then skip the passes entirely. An individual ticket to the Empire State Building Observatory or a single museum entry is cheaper than any pass, and we book those too.
When to Book
Timed-entry tickets should be secured well in advance for the busy periods, and New York's busy periods are specific: Christmas and New Year, Easter, Spring Break, the UN General Assembly in September, and NYC Marathon weekend in November. During these weeks the popular observatory slots and the 9/11 Memorial Museum fill early, and a pass in your pocket is not the same thing as a reservation.
Outside those windows, a few days' notice is usually enough — though the Statue of Liberty ferry and the observation decks at sunset are worth booking ahead in any season.
A Pass Covers the Entry, Not the City
Every pass on this page is a ticketing product. It gets you through the door efficiently and for less, and that is genuinely useful. What none of them does is tell you what you're looking at, or why it's there.
That's the part we handle ourselves. Our private walking tours are led by guides who live here, and they work exclusively for your group — no strangers, no fixed script, your pace. Many of our clients pair the two: a pass for the admissions, a private guide for the neighborhoods around them.
Not Sure Which One?
Tell us how many days you have, who's traveling, and two or three things you already know you want to see. We'll tell you which pass makes sense for that trip — or whether you're better off buying individual tickets.
We've been booking New York for travelers since 1979, and we have no reason to sell you a bigger pass than you need.
