Why You Need a Go City® Pass for Your New York Trip

New York City is notorious for its high prices. From the Empire State Building to the Statue of Liberty and MoMA, the list of must-see attractions is endless. But the entrance fees can quickly add up, rivaling the cost of your plane ticket. If you're planning a trip to New York in 2026, the Go City New York Explorer Pass is the perfect way to lighten your wallet and brighten your experience.


1. Create Your Own 'Custom Tour'

The biggest advantage of the New York Explorer Pass is the 'freedom of choice.' You can select and purchase from 2 to 10 attractions out of over 90 iconic spots in New York City that you really want to visit.

No need to stick to the usual tourist traps. If you're more into observatories than museums, just pick the Top of the Rock, the Edge, and One World Observatory. Instead of feeling pressured to see everything within a set period, you can choose attractions at your own pace, which is a unique advantage of the Explorer Pass.


2. Save Up to 50%

The entrance fee for major observatories in New York usually exceeds $40. However, with the Explorer Pass, you can save up to 50% compared to individual ticket purchases.

For example, a 'observatory + cruise + museum' combo that would cost over $150 if booked separately can be enjoyed at a much lower price with a single pass. Use the savings to enjoy a fancy dinner at Wolfgang's Steakhouse or catch another Broadway musical in Times Square – a 'smart splurge.'


3. Generous Validity Period: 60 Days

Many passes rush you with short validity periods like '3 days after activation' or '9 days,' but the Go City Explorer Pass is different. It's valid for a whopping 60 days from the first attraction visit.

Whether you're staying in New York for a month or just visiting for a week, it doesn't matter. You can relax in Central Park today and visit an observatory a few days later if you feel like it. The flexibility to postpone your plans if the weather isn't great – that's the secret to traveling like a true New Yorker, thanks to this generous validity period.
