What is the New York Essentials Pass?

  • The New York Essentials Pass launched in July 2025 to help you save money on New York attractions. It includes 3 visits to your choice of 12 attractions.
  • Here’s how it works: you pay for the pass upfront, then your entry to 3 attractions is included. No additional tickets needed at the door.
  • The pass delivers real savings compared to paying for each attraction separately. At around $100, it’s a bargain when a single observatory ticket costs $50 or more.
  • Tip: you don’t have to choose your 3 attractions when you buy the pass. Decide later, and change your mind as many times as you want before you visit.
