Essentials Pass for New York

As the name suggests, the Essentials Pass allows you to visit New York’s essential attractions. The Essentials Pass gives you access to three attractions in New York.

A major limitation of this pass is that you only choose one of the four observation decks, plus two more attractions from the list.

New York Essentials Pass attractions

You can choose 1 of the observation decks:

  • Edge
  • Empire State Building
  • One World Observatory
  • Top of the Rock

In addition, you choose 2 of these attractions:

  • American Museum of Natural History
  • 9/11 Museum
  • Central Park Bike Rental
  • The Museum of Broadway
  • Circle Line Landmarks Cruise
  • Museum of Modern Art
  • Intrepid Museum
  • Madame Tussauds
  • Mercer Labs

If you buy separate tickets for these attractions, you will spend more money at the end of the line than if you purchase this pass.

Why choose the Essentials Pass?

The Essentials Pass is a discount pass that gives you only a few options. For example, you can only visit one observation deck, and otherwise have a choice of two attractions from a short list. In my opinion, the Explorer Pass is a better discount pass. With this pass, you have a wider choice of attractions.

How does the Essentials Pass work?

Order your New York Essentials Pass and then receive a QR code via email. You can display this on your phone as an admission ticket at the attractions. The pass is valid for 30 days from the first time you use it.

The Essentials Pass gives you access to three attractions, each of which you can visit once. Some attractions require reservations in advance.

When do you buy the New York Essentials Pass?

The pass is valid for one year after purchase, but know that the attractions offered may change. Therefore, I recommend purchasing the discount pass several weeks before departure.
