Top of the Rock Observation Deck

CityPASS



"Six of New York City’s Most Popular Attractions at a Great Price!"

You can see the Empire State Building, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Modern Art, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island (or Circle Line Cruise) and Top of the Rock (or the Guggenheim Museum). Best of all, see it all for one low price. Without the convenient CityPASS, seeing all six of those popular attractions would cost $146!


  • Stunning 360-degree views from the Empire State Building's 86th floor observatory or Top of the Rock's three-level observation deck.
  • World-renowned works of art at the Metropolitan Museum of art.
  • The world's largest collection of dinosaur fossils at the American Museum of Natural History.
  • Extraordinary works like Claude Monet's Water Lillies,Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night and Andy Warhol's iconic Campbell's Soup Cans at the Museum of Modern Art.
  • National monuments like the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are inspiring and educational symbols of America's history and values. 
  • CityPASS is valid for nine days from the day of first use. (Each ticket is for one admission. If you visit an attraction twice, you will have to pay for the second visit). 
  • Some lines, such as security checkpoints at the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty and Top of the Rock and bag checks at the museums, are unavoidable. You may also have to line up when you exchange a CityPASS e-ticket for a CityPASS booklet at the first attraction you visit. But otherwise, a CityPASS will save you from standing in line for hours on end, which means more time to enjoy the attractions.
  • For Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island trips, allow yourself at least two hours to visit one island and five hours to visit both islands. The usual wait time to enter security screening for the ferry ride is 30 minutes or more. If you depart after 2 p.m., you will only be able to visit one of the islands, not both. 
 Exchanging Your E-ticket for New York CityPASS
  • You will exchange your e-ticket for a New York CityPASS booklet at the first attraction you visit. 
  • Then at each attraction you visit, simply present your booklet for admission. 
  • The ticket taker at each attraction will tear out or scan their ticket. 
  • Do NOT pull any tickets from the booklet or they will be invalid!
