Experience New York City Tours

Discover artistic masterpieces, ancient fossil specimens, and more at the New York museums!  A New York museums sightseeing trip promises priceless paintings, rare historical artifacts, and other fascinating pieces.  New York is home to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, The Guggenheim, 9/11 Memorial & Museum, and many other world-renowned collections.  Why not check out the Immigration Museum during the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Tour?  Or, fill your New York museums tour with art by hitting all three of the Met locations.  You can even pop for an Exclusive Saver Combo that combines general admission to MoMA with a Hop-On, Hop-Off New York Tour; so, you can get dropped off right in front of the museum.  And, what modern-day New York trip would be complete without a visit to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum?  You can marvel at the Survivor Tree, view artifacts from the wreckage of the Twin Towers, and learn about the lives lost by our men and women in uniform.  If you truly want to understand what it was like on the ground, then making the trip to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum is what to do in New York!

Good to know

The best time to visit New York museums is May through October.  November through April brings freezing temps, snow, and sleet; although, April is definitely the mildest of these months.  Regardless, a New York museums trip really doesn’t require good weather, considering visitors will be indoors at the museums for most of the time.  One sneaky benefit of taking a New York museums tour during the winter is that the museums are far less crowded than summer.  And, speaking of summer, it remains the busiest time of year in terms of tourism.  You can expect longer lines and significant crowding at the top New York museum attractions.  But, it’s the shoulder seasons of May/June and September/October that offer the best combination of mild weather and smaller crowds.  In terms of the best time of day to visit New York museums, you’ll find that the crowds swell a couple of hours before and after lunchtime.  So, it’s often better to arrive just as the doors open or a few hours before they close.  It’s what to do in New York if you don’t feel like to elbowing your way to your favorite exhibit.
