You can also print this code if you prefer a physical pass. The pass is valid for 9 days, starting from the day of its first use.

With the New York CityPASS, you can visit 5 attractions, each attraction once. Both the Empire State Building and the American Museum of Natural History are always included in the pass.

Your second visit is permitted between May and August, from 19:00 until closing time. It’s a great way to view the city during the day, but also to admire the beautiful night lights.
