New York was properly my first ‘big’ trip. It was a city that for as long as I can remember was at the top of my bucket list. The New York Pass seemed to offer incredible value for money, so I purchased a 10-day ticket. I am sharing my New York Pass review to help anyone unsure of purchasing it.

What is the New York Pass?
The New York Pass gives you access to 102 attractions in New York City. Check out all the attractions the pass offers here.
The options available are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 or 10 consecutive-day pass. What I loved about the New York Pass is that you can store it on your phone. I am notorious for losing tickets, bank cards, and transport cards (I once lost my bank card 3 times in a month!). I tend to leave cards loose in my bag or coat pockets! Therefore, having the pass on my phone saved me frantically searching at the ticket desk.
The price of the New York Pass varies between $150 to $384.

Is The New York Pass Worth It?
It entirely depends on the type of traveller you are, and what you plan to see.
If you prefer to just wander, exploring the local culture, checking out neighbourhoods, and nightlife, then the pass may not be for you. However, there are some amazing tours that are covered under the pass that can show you a more local side of the city rather than the main tourist haunts.
On the other hand, if you enjoy going to the big ticket attractions, and having an action-packed day, it can work out to be incredible value, you just need to plan your itinerary in advance.
I purchased the 10-day pass, and wish I got a pass with fewer days, such as the 3 or 4-day pass. I found myself revolving my day around what attractions I was going to visit but only considered the ones on the New York Pass.
My advice for anyone is do not get a pass to cover every day you are in New York. Give yourself at least 1 or 2 pass-free days to explore other sides of New York.
