We had a long line and hours standing to get inside. They divided us into lines to let us in but the last ones in were coming in with no sense plus there was too much crowd on top because there was no time. Also we paid to get in at 7:10 pm but did not go up until 7:40 pm which is absurd. The experience was unpleasant despite the beautiful visit where di bede all nyc

The Museum Of Maoder Art was a wonderful experience for me and my 8 year twin boys. It was way bigger than I expected it to be and there was so much to see! Saw some really beautiful art as well as some interactive art instillations that the kids really loved. The Museum Store also had some amazing gems and we made a few purchases. I will definitely be coming back, it was a fun interactive learning experience for all of us.

The museum staff were very rude to visitors, yelling at them to get away from the paintings. EVERY single painting should have the railing around the front of it so people will respect the boundary & the "guards" don't have to yell every five seconds. It really detracted from the experience.

With the pre-booked ticket you still have to wait in the same line with everybody else before you get into the museum. But it goes ahead pretty fast. In the MoMa most people seem to go for the most famous paintings, while it's more acceptable in the other rooms. It's crowded anyway. However, it's a great museum and absolutely worth a visit.

I always enjoy MOMA, especially the large collection of Impressists. This time in addition to my usual favorites I really enjoyed the Turning Point Exhibition. It was fascinating to read about the thoughts and intentions behind these innovative designs. The exhibit was also displayed in a very enticing manner with each exhibit allocated its own mini stage.

The museum is phenomenal that goes without saying I can walk around there for hours. But I am taken aback about how loud it is how everybody seems to be comfortable to have full conversations. When I'm at the Met or the Whitney, I can hear my heartbeat. I really had a hard time. Enjoying everything with how loud it was. I also think you should make some efforts to organize the crowd around starry night. I'm not gonna pretend to have the answer. But putting it in the corner seems like maybe not the way to go. I had a few interactions with the staff and they were polite, respectful and very helpful. Nothing but great things to say about them.

I had very bad issue with bus driver. He did not allow me to take ride on bus even i was there in line with my family. He pushed my wife to get into bus so hard that it hurt her. My daughter was crying with his loud yelling. It was totally discrimination from driver with another passenger. He openly said "i will not let you take ride in my bus but take another next bus." I am not going to tolrate this kind of behaviour. Will definately go next step for this.

Interminable thing due to elevator malfunction. Instead of notifying us they left us 90 Min waiting before giving any explanation of the problem. Another 60 min wait then, with children on top of that. Easy to pay, hard to get refunds or excuses.

Edge is a top venue to visit, 1st time this year and will be going again on our next visit to New York. The views from the observation decks are amazing, even the elevator ride was impressive with the built in video show. Would thoroughly recommend a visit while in New York.

We had to wait 45 minutes for the train. As compensation, some visitors then received a voucher for a glass of champagne, others didn't, so we didn't feel disrespected.

So beautiful and so fun. Such a great view with a unique perspective of looking down under your feet. The building is also great before you even get to the Edge, fun shops and restauarants. Loved it. I highly recommend going if you like high buildings with amazing 360 views - if you are scared of heights - don't go -otherwise join in the fun.

We had a long line and hours standing to get inside. They divided us into lines to let us in but the last ones in were coming in with no sense plus there was too much crowd on top because there was no time. Also we paid to get in at 7:10 pm but did not go up until 7:40 pm which is absurd. The experience was unpleasant despite the beautiful visit where di bede all nyc

Bought a 2 day all inclusive pass, spent Saturday on the red route with plans to do the blue route Sunday. Unfortunately Sunday morning we were informed that the blue route was canceled all day, and everything i had planned for that day went up in smoke. This caused my anxiety to get pretty bad. Our plans centered around the bus and the 2 routes as we had no vehicle with us and do not really understand the subway system. Then we decided to ride the red route again and do a few more things on it since we could nonlonger do the blue route. Sights set on the statue of liberty.. Oh the bus driver cannot speak English, and just continues driving right past the stop, never announced or said anything so now we are at stop 12 and if we want to do the statue we have to ride the route all the way back around. Busses stuck in traffic, cannot get off unless it is a designated stop, even when we were stuck in parade traffic and wasting our time. Driver constantly honking horn, even when there was no place for anyone to drive to. Tried to get a partial refund for our tickets since all of the plans I had for Sunday were now messed up, was told to call another company, then another. I will not be doing this again, nor will I recommend it to anyone, it was not a good experience at all.

Once I got there the views were amazing and it was such a clear day which I admit I wasn't really expecting. Would have perhaps needed a bit of snow on the rooftops to get perhaps more impressive photos. I am going to try and get at least one of the photos framed or made into canvas pictures.
