How do I get my pass?

Firstly, download the Go City app. You can then use your order confirmation number to add your pass to your phone. Et voilà, it'll be right there on the app. (But don't worry, your pass won't activate until you visit your first attraction!).

Feeling old-school? You can also print your pass at home using the link in your confirmation email (You can also show this version of the pass on your phone if you'd prefer!).

How do I use my Explorer Pass?

Do I need to make reservations for attractions?

Some attractions welcome visitors on the day and some need to be booked in advance, so be sure to check our Explorer Pass reservations page before you travel.  

New York also has a few extremely popular attractions that don't have reservation requirements, but will involve wait times during busy periods. These include Top of the Rock Observation Deck, 9/11 Memorial & Museum, One World Observatory, Best of NYC Cruise by Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises and Liberty Super Express Cruise. 

For these attractions in particular, it's important to check the 'know before you go' section on attraction pages for all our top tips, to ensure you have the best sightseeing experience. 

Got your pass? Let the sightseeing begin! Remember, your pass only activates when you visit your first attraction, so making reservations won't activate your pass. When you get to each attraction, tour, or activity, show your pass for entry. 

What's included with the Explorer Pass?

With the city pass, you can pick 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 10 attractions to visit from our list of top New York sights, tours, and must-sees.

Plus, with the Go City app, you'll have all the information you need at your fingertips. We're talking attraction information, suggested itineraries, a handy map, and more!

How long do I have to use my pass?

Visiting your first chosen attraction will activate your pass. From then on, you can go at your own pace – you'll have 60 days to visit the rest. Sweet!

  • What's the difference between an All-Inclusive Pass and an Explorer Pass?

    We know that no two sightseers are the same, that's why we offer two pass options. For those who want to see as much as possible, we've got All-Inclusive passes. Choose how many days you want your pass to be valid for, and then visit as many attractions as you wish.

    And for those of you who are a little pickier, we've got the Explorer Pass. With this pass, you can select how many attractions you wish to visit, and you'll then have 60 days to do so. Plus, there's no need to decide which ones you'll visit before you purchase, so you'll still be able to keep your plans flexible.
