Need assistance planning your sightseeing route? Numbers correspond to the attraction’s Manhattan location.

New York City and beyond.

For immersion in the Art Deco glory of Manhattan, Rockefeller Center’s Top of the Rock is your destination. There are both indoor and outdoor viewing areas here—for the latter, transparent safety-glass panels allow wholly unobstructed views of the city’s landmarks, including all of Central Park.

Some of the ultimate perspectives on NYC can be found right across the Hudson at Dream Wheel New Jersey. Soar 300 feet into the sky for unique views of the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline. While you’re there, you’ll find the largest indoor theme park in North America plus skiing, skating, mini golf, a water park, pizza, barbecue, luxury retailers, and even an aquarium at the adjacent American Dream mall.

When you want to pose “in a moment in time” with the world’s most iconic musicians, leaders, athletes, and A-list stars, Madame Tussauds in Times Square is your destination. In addition to being “the world’s greatest wax museum,” you can immerse yourself in adventures like the MARVEL Super Heroes 4D Film & Experience and the multi-sensory Coney Island Carnival Carnage 7D Game

Near Grand Central you can be the hero of your very own adventure at The Escape Game Find clues and solve puzzles as a team on your way to completing a mission. There are five rooms to choose from and a Game Guide is available at all times during your adventure.

Downtown along the East River, two centuries of New York City come together at The Seaport. This district blends quaint cobblestone streets with contemporary shopping and dining. There are also incredible perspectives on the Brooklyn Bridge and the water. The South Street Seaport Museum is also here, telling the story of “Where New York Begins” through art, artifacts, and a fleet of historic vessels. Don’t miss the area’s latest addition, the Tin Building by Jean-Georges. Legendary chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten has filled a historic two-story space with retail, restaurants, and an impeccably stocked central market with locally sourced seafood, meats, cheeses, seasonal produce, chef-grade pantry staples, and rare ingredients.

The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are two of the most famous historical sites in NYC. If you want to see them first-hand, Statue City Cruises is the only way to get there. Boats depart from Battery Park City in Lower Manhattan and Liberty State Park in New Jersey, providing memorable tours through New York Harbor. In addition to the historic stops, you’ll get amazing perspectives on water, shipping, and skylines.

When you arrive on Liberty Island, you’ll find the new Statue of Liberty Museum Breathtaking views are joined by a $100 million destination that includes memorabilia, an immersive film, and up close looks at the statue’s original torch, a 3,600-pound copper flame. Opened in 1892, Ellis Island was the gateway for 12 million newly minted Americans. Some 40% of the U.S. population traces their ancestry here. Visitors can explore the grand French Renaissance style main building and The National Immigration Museum.

The legendary aircraft carrier that’s now the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum takes visitors on an interactive journey through history to learn about American innovation and bravery. The museum includes the Space Shuttle Pavilion, home to Enterprise, the world’s first space shuttle. Also on display on the flight deck are 28 authentically restored aircraft, including the British Airways Concorde, the fastest commercial aircraft to ever cross the Atlantic. Kids will love the Exploreum, an interactive hall focused on themes of water, space, air, and life at sea.
