Do I need to print anything, or is my phone enough?

Your phone is all you need. The pass lives in the My CityPASS app and is scanned directly at each attraction's entrance.

Do I have to visit all five attractions on the same day?

No — the pass is valid across multiple days, giving you the flexibility to spread your visits throughout your trip. Check the pass validity period at the time of booking.

Do I need to book time slots in advance for each attraction?

Some attractions require advance reservations and are subject to availability. Use the My CityPASS app to make reservations before you travel to avoid disappointment.

Which three optional attractions should I choose?

That depends on your interests. History and heritage visitors tend to choose the Statue of Liberty and the 9/11 Memorial; art lovers often pick the Guggenheim; families frequently opt for the Intrepid Museum. You can decide after purchase.

Is the pass suitable for children, and do they need their own?

Children under 6 enter free at most included attractions without needing a pass. For older children, a child-rate CityPASS is available. Check each attraction's specific age policy before visiting.

What if an attraction is fully booked on the day I want to visit?

Admission to certain attractions is subject to availability. To avoid missing out, make reservations through the My CityPASS app as early as possible — ideally before your trip begins.
