What did I choose?
The New York Pass.1. I personally like to have more freedom and choices, so instead of getting a card that limits my choices down to 3-7 attractions, I would rather pay more to have more flexibility.
2. I know exactly how many days I am going to spend in each cities. I am on a 4 days visit so there is no reason for me to choose a card that grants admission to attractions for more than 4 days.
3. This is my first visit to New York city. I know exactly where I want to visit and what I want to do: Empire State Building, Top of the Rock, Liberty Island as well as renting a bike! And I am the kind of person who would like to see and do as much as I could within a day. Without a single doubt, a New York pass is my best option.
4. I do not like to wait in line because time is money.

What should You choose?
To make the right decision, ask yourself the following questions:1. How many days are you staying in New York?
2. Are you splitting your stay? For example, if you plan to stay 2 days in New York, then have a road trip for 10 days, and come back to New York again for another 2 days, The Explorer Pass should be your first choice.
3. What is your visiting style? Do you like to wander leisurely? Or you like to pack in as much as you could during your visit?
4. Are you fine with walking and figuring out which subway line to take? Or do you need a Hop On Hop Off Bus?
5. What is on your Must-see and Must-do list? List them down along with the price and compare it to the price of a card.
If you are a laid back person, give a pass at the pass!
