City Pass, Inc. has announced significant upgrades to its New York CityPASS program, introducing a fully flexible format, two new attractions, and a price reduction. The changes, effective immediately, give travelers more control over their itinerary and greater savings on some of New York City’s most popular experiences.
The New York CityPASS ticket now allows visitors to choose any five attractions from a curated collection of ten premier New York experiences. The expanded lineup includes two new additions: Edge Observation Deck & Immersive Experience and the Whitney Museum of American Art. These join existing options such as the Empire State Building Observation Deck, American Museum of Natural History, Top of the Rock Observation Deck, 9/11 Memorial & Museum, Statue of Liberty Grounds and Ellis Island Official Ferry, Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises, Intrepid Museum, and Guggenheim Museum.
Alongside the flexible format, City Pass has lowered prices. Adult pricing decreases from $164 to $149, while child pricing drops from $136 to $129. Advertised savings increase to as much as 51% off combined admission prices. “These updates give travelers more control over how they experience New York,” said Megan Allen, president and CEO of City Pass, Inc. “By moving to a fully flexible format, adding new attractions and lowering the ticket price, New York CityPASS tickets offer even greater value and make it easier than ever for visitors to build the New York experience that’s right for them, whether they’re drawn to breathtaking views, world-class art, iconic landmarks or cultural institutions.”
Edge Observation Deck & Immersive Experience, located at Hudson Yards, is the highest indoor and outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, suspended more than 1,100 feet above Manhattan. It offers a glass floor, angled glass walls, Skyline Seats, and 360-degree views. A recent indoor transformation has turned Edge into a multi-sensory attraction with permanent installations such as NYC’s largest kaleidoscope, the Pulse infinity room with 450 glowing orbs, 260 spinning mirrors in the Reflections light show, and a canopy of giant colorful crystals in the Crystal Cave. Edge also features reimagined hospitality and food offerings by Tao Group Hospitality, with culinary experiences and events year-round.
The Whitney Museum of American Art, in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, is renowned for its collection of 20th- and 21st-century American art, including works by Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Andy Warhol. Highlights include Hopper’s Early Sunday Morning, O’Keeffe’s Summer Days, and Warhol’s Green Coca-Cola Bottles. The museum presents cutting-edge exhibitions by contemporary artists and features outdoor terraces overlooking the Hudson River and the High Line.
New York CityPASS tickets remain valid for nine consecutive days from first use, allowing travelers to explore at their own pace. Digital tickets are emailed and linked to the My CityPASS app, which provides access to tickets, reservation management, attraction details, directions, and entry instructions. The app also offers notifications, special offers, and trip-planning information. For more information, visit citypass.com. The original release is available on www.newmediawire.com.
These updates matter because they lower the cost barrier for visitors while expanding choices, potentially boosting tourism and making world-class attractions more accessible. By adding Edge and the Whitney, CityPASS strengthens its appeal to both first-time and repeat visitors, and the flexible format caters to diverse interests. The price cut and increased savings could encourage more travelers to bundle admissions, benefiting the attractions and the local economy. With tourism continuing to recover, such enhancements position New York CityPASS as a competitive option for budget-conscious explorers.
