Reviewed December 07, 2024 NEW

We bought a 2 day ticket with Topview unlimited hop on, hop off tours under the impression that the Brooklyn and Statue of Liberty tours were included. However when we tried to go on those tours we were told our tickets didn't entitle us to do those. Pretty disappointing and we feel we were done over. However, we found that we could still see the statue of Liberty by going on the Statin Island ferry for free. Rode by quite close. That was good enough for us. The museum of the American Indian in the original Customs House is well worth a visit. Some exhibits are absolutely amazing. The Intrepid, a WW2 aircraft carrier is fascinating with a history well worth exploring. We spend a whole day on her.
