It is also currently the only pass to include admission to a Hop-on Hop-Off Double Decker Bus Tour, The Metropolitan Museum of Art (VIP admission) and Top of the Rock Observation Deck with superior views of Central Park and the Empire State Building. And in some cases, they can even skip the ticket line!
In addition to included admissions, New York City Explorer Pass customers receive 2-for-1 admission to Madame Tussauds NY wax museum (a $31 value!), 40% savings on the Sopranos Sites Bus Tour by On Location Tours, 25% savings on top-quality souvenirs at The Library Shop at the New York Public Library, 10% savings on Broadway Theatre tickets and more. Visitors simply take the pass and free accompanying full-color guidebook and hit the town, with their choice of admission to the city’s best attractions.
