New York Pass Cost
You can buy the card with a duration of between 1 and 10 days, for the daily cost we recommend the 5 and 7-day cards. These are not 24-hour days, but from the moment you activate the pass, you'll have until midnight before it counts as a full day.
Our recommendation is not to buy a one-day pass, because although you may think it will be cheaper, with the large number of activities you'll need more time for it to be really profitable.
Prices can vary depending on the season. There also tend to be 50% discounts on many of the children's fares.
| Duration | Adults | Children (ages 4 to 12) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 day | US$ 154 | US$ 114 |
| 2 days | US$ 214 | US$ 169 |
| 3 days | US$ 259 | US$ 199 |
| 4 days | US$ 299 | US$ 229 |
| 5 days | US$ 339 | US$ 264 |
| 6 days | US$ 359 | US$ 279 |
| 7 days | US$ 379 | US$ 289 |
| 10 days | US$ 399 | US$ 299 |
Is it Worthwhile?
Although it might seem a little pricey, the pass is profitable for 90% of tourists who buy the pass. There are similar passes in most cities worldwide, but this one is among the best ways to save money in New York.
Have your travel itinerary well organised. Regardless of how many days your pass is valid, you'll only be able to enter each activity once. Remember, for most of the activities, you'll also have to book, the pass does not guarantee you direct access.
