I took my son and his friends for the tour. We pre-booked the tickets so we knew where to go and shared the details with the parents of the kids prior to the visit. It was an enriching experience and they learnt about why New York is the greatest city in the world.

We didn’t go through the instructions clearly and ended up at the memorial first. We called up the customer service and they directed us to the Cathedral where the tour starts. They were helpful and we didn’t have to wait for help or lose our ticket money!

We had a great time. Eat before you go in. Cafe is pricy. Plan on being there at opening to have ample time and avoid a crowd for an hour or two. Sooooo much to see so plan a second visit and wear comfy shoes.
