What comes to mind when you think of New York City? Soaring skyscrapers like the historic Empire State Building, the iconic and inspiring Statue of Liberty, and amazing cultural institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, of course. And for good reason: the Empire State Building offers the best bird's eye views of the city, while the Statue of Liberty is the most stirring symbol of America's liberty. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, meanwhile, is one of the world's foremost art institutions with a collection of more than two million works of art that spans 5,000 years of human history. Book a Big Three Pass, and you can see all three attractions for much less than buying individual tickets for each.

Note: Must present voucher at the Empire State Building prior to visiting the MET and Circle Line.

• Rain or shine, the 360-degree views from the Empire State Building's 86th floor observatory cannot be beat. There's not much you can't see from more than a quarter-mile high above the heart of Manhattan. From the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park, get a bird's eye view of what makes the Big Apple so special.
• Seeing the city lights from up high can be very romantic - especially if you plan your visit to the Empire State Building around nightly musical performances. A live saxophonist serenades visitors on the 86^th floor observatory Thursday through Saturday nights from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
• Magnificent views of the Manhattan skyline that can only be seen from aboard a boat in the harbor. 
• The knowledgeable guides on Circle Line's 75-minute Statue of Liberty Cruise entertain with interesting facts and historical tidbits about the Statue of Liberty, the historic immigration center on nearby Ellis Island, and the World Financial Center. You have the choice to take a ride on the 2-Hr Semi-Circle Cruise or 2-Hr Harbor Lights Cruise, year-round. Or choose the 75 Min. Liberty Cruise or Beast Speedboat Ride, seasonal. All cruises include magnificent close-ups of the Statue of Liberty.  
• Step inside an actual Egyptian temple from 15 B.C. at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
• From Monet to Warhol, see works of art so famous you won't believe they let you get close enough to touch.

• Audio tours of the Empire State Building are available in seven languages.
• For the Statue of Liberty cruise, be at the meeting point 45 minutes prior to departure time.
• The Metropolitan Museum of Art's audio tour players can be rented for a small fee. They provide more than 100 hours of commentary on the exhibitions. 

• The vouchers for the Big Three Combo must be redeemed at the Empire State Building prior to visiting the MET Museum or Circle Line.
• For the Statue of Liberty cruise, bring the credit card you used for purchasing tickets online; it must be presented to the box office for identification purposes. The cruise voucher is good for one year, though once you have exchanged it; the tickets are only good for 14 days.
• Visitors to both the Empire State Building and the Metropolitan Museum of Art must have their bags inspected. It's a good idea to leave large bags at home or in your hotel.
