Having the audio makes a big difference in understanding the visual
Loved the Alvin Ailey exhibit and the accessibility of the museum. Lovely environment
I visited the Alvin Ailey exhibit and loved it - the videos, the stories, the art, the adjacencies of other creatives, the (as the exhibit calles it) personal ephemeria, it was all wonderful and informative.
I went to Whitney Museum and saved 1 dollar buying the ticket through headout. The purchase experience on the website was good but the fact that I still needed to make the line in order to exchange my voucher for a phisycal ticket makes it all less great.
The Edges of Ailey was a fascinating and well put together exhibit. I learned a lot about his early life and influences of the Black women, religion, and Black artists influenced his work. My ticket purchase through Headcount was seamless and I had no problems with admission.
I went for the Alvin Ailey exhibit which was good. I would return for the other exhibits which I didn't get to in this visit.
I was able to see the Alivn Alley exhibit
Alvin Ailey - amazing that a dancer and choreographer could be shown in an art museum and have it work.
Easy to get tickets at desk and entry

The line to get into the vanderbilt building was long, but totally worth it! We liked it! Moma was so incredibly efficient and kid friendly!
So many artists and different works. Something for everyone. And a nice cafe and bar to relax for a while in. Well laid out.
The Museum self is amazing and all artwork.
Loved the huge tapestry exhibit and all the old favourite masters - can't beat a Starry Night ❤️
Classics and Contemporary in such an unbeliveble Building, it's needed to do, if you have a stay in NY
The enormous space of the museum and all the different rooms
It was very straightforward and quick to enter the exhibition. It was great experience.
A wonderful experience, good organization, punctuality, care, incredible works, I would definitely recommend your visit.
As an art teacher & artist, I feel the spaces & display provided wonderful viewing for all attending. The lighting was well done. The numerous, extraordinary, important art works that I have only seen in art history books, were glorious to see. Each was breathtaking! I was thankful to be able to view & approach each work intimately & respectfully, allowing me to enjoy the artist's hand at work. I feel more connected historically, humanly, & artistically to our world. My inner passions for art have been stirred to the point of brimming over with inspiration. Thank you to all professional staff & MoMA for a day well spent traveling through time with creativity & passion.
We arrived into Manhattan at 1:25 pm. We'd last eaten at 3 am EST. The moma not only was smazing- but we ate ate 2 of their cafes. I am celiac -and they were able to accommodate those allergies! The food was fresh and high quality! Great adventure!
CAMP films, artwork, I've been to the MOMA before and appreciate that I only recognized a few pieces and was seeing many new works.
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.
I ran out of time to visit the 4th floor. I didn't see my favorite painters 😩 they threw us out in a bad way. If they had explained it to me before I would have gone earlier.
I enjoyed the various artworks displayed around the museum, although my absolute favourite was the retro-design and pop culture section located at the northern part of the 3rd floor. It featured a walkman, first Mac PC, and a first moka Express along with various facts about these pop culture icons
The experience was wonderful. From the moment we ordered the ticket through the very user-friendly hall, the possibility of bringing wine into the hall was wonderful. The audience cooperated, the perfect direction, the talented cast, we enjoyed every moment. Thank you.
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 enjoy the exhibits and arts. Amazing and wonderful. This is my very first arts visit. It could have been better had I have a little background about these famous people and their works. It's a great place to 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.
Seeing the works of Monet, Picasso and Van Gough, I was speechless. These were priceless jewels and no words I can utter to further explain the beauty that comes from each canvass.
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.
An exhibit Jack Whitten was stunning. We slso had a bite at the Cafe ehich was good. The tapestry "Cadence" was gorgeous!
The ticket process was easy, thanks to you. The Caspar David Friedrich exhibit was astounding and captivated me most of the day. Love The Met!
No lines. We went inside and were able to tour the length and breadth of MoMa
The exit was rushed and rude, it is understood that there is a closing time but not the impertinence.
When I visit the museum, one floor was closed. There wasn't any information about why.
Perfect for art lovers who want to dive into American, contemporary, and timeless art.

I am speechless. That was awesome. From buying the tickets, welcoming, experience... that was a lifetime memories to keep. Thank you for the good job and keep it up.
We were behind a bit in time of our booking and panicked arriving! But the staff on entrance were so obliging to help my family get to gain the amazing experiencebof the edge! Would highly recommend it for all to do..
The place is amazing in every way – the view, the lookout point, the feeling, and the glass floor all come together to make the experience especially powerful.
It was an amazing experience—even though the weather wasn’t great and the view wasn’t the best, we still had a fantastic time😇
Precious and beautiful, a unique experience.
The platform, very scary but sooo beautiful
It is a very beautiful experience, the attention of all the staff is first class, I like it very much and I recommend it to everyone.
Fun visit and such fabulous views of NYC.

The view and location are great keep it up
Bird's eye view of the city. Lines long and slow but well organised with pleasant staff
Awesome experience . It was nice experience
The view of Manhattan and the Hudson River is truly impressive. The Hudson Yards are also worth a visit. Unfortunately, there were several thunderstorms around New York. For this reason, the platform was closed. We could have repeated the visit. However, as we were leaving the next day, this was not possible for us.
line too long plus alot peoples impsible take pictures. the view was beatiful but no employes to help in order to everyone can enjoy the view and take pictures
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.

As a kid growing up with Top Gun - a must see experience! Growler was fantastic! Rode the plane elevator!!! A6 Intruder my favorite!
I loved the airplanes and the submarine. It was incredible.
I am an aeronautical engineer and I had the opportunity to see several aircraft I have studied when I was younger. it was fantastic
The museum was well structured and left space for individual focus omar the exhibitions, a memorable moment was, when we had a talk with a Veteran who was there to answer questions and to talk. Especially this talk was special, thank you for this moment !
It was a unforgettable experience. Standing on a aircraft carrier, seeing all this icons of the skies and experiencing how life looked like in a submarine. All in one day. Unbeatable!
Found booking on line difficult and retrieving the tickets on screen also difficult.Circle line cruise was enjoyable.
The museum was well maintained, had a lot of interactive areas for kids, and was super interesting!
It was beautiful experience for a couple at museum, it was a perfect day for it we were so happy

It was amazing. I was able to see all the attractions I wanted and had a seamless experience with getting checked in.
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.
It was a beautiful place and all the staff were very pleasant and helped us when lost or in need of directions. Its a very informative place and would definitely recommend.
The system is simple and generates clear indications to the user. All the activities were impeccable. Good group guides, knowledgeable and empathetic.
The experience wasn't good. The tickets couldn't be pulled up and they couldn't scan them and it was very frustrating. Eventually we got it figured out but it took a ton of time.
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.
wonderful view of the city with all its lights from a unique point of view compared to other skyscrapers avoided the queue thanks to the tickets purchased in advance
Wonderful customer service & however, buses cleaning should be increased!!
It was so easy to use, you literally just find the attractions you want to see and head to the entrance with your QR code ticket pass. Even those where you have to book, the experience was easy to complete through the app. Will recommend.
Such a great experience and hassle free. Combination tickets saves time and money.
It was an amazing experienced.Thank you very much

Loved the part where we got to watch a video on a wall then it suddenly revealed the scenic view from the deck. Thanks for the smooth and fast transaction to get my tickets, headout!
Bird's eye view was the best. Seeing where the rebuilding is occurring to honor those who lost their lives while showing we are a country that will not be defeated was impactful.
Being from the UK, the moment I saw the skyline I fell in love, such a magical view, and the staff are so friendly and made sure my stay was as unforgettable as possible. So informative and very knowledgeable, I loved every second. Thank you for the experience.

View. It's a unique observation area. The others in the city are all midtown. Nice to be able to see Jersey City, Brooklyn and the Bridges much closer. Very very impressive.

Impressive view from the observation deck. Nevertheless I've expected cleaner windows and non reflective glass. The cafe and restaurant didn't meet my expectations at all. Cafe is like a fast food place without any charm. Restaurant doesn't offer any coffee speciality like cappuccino, latte or even espresso nor sweets like a cake. They are giving you the feeling that they want your money only.
Whole presentation nicely presented.
Greats views excellent organization
Watching the dusk emerging and the Empire State illuminating was awesome. It's the most amazing view.
Amazing view from the Top of the world. My kids enjoyed it.
To be able to experience this crazy city again after 30 years! It's unique to be able to experience this city from above!

Everything was beautiful! The view was magnificent especially on a sunny day! Wow I really recommend it!
