NYC Big Bus Downtown Discover Tour
The Downtown Loop is a great way to explore Lower Manhattan including popular neighborhoods such as the Flatiron District, Union Square, Little Italy, Chinatown, Soho & NoHo, Greenwich Village & the East Village, Chelsea and the Financial District. Wander around Wall St. to see the infamous Stock Exchange and Charging Bull, eat your way through Little Italy and Chinatown then shop till you drop at all the high end or boutique stores SoHo is famous for!
One World Observatory
One World Observatory is the all-new attraction crowning One World Trade Center, the Western Hemisphere’s tallest building. Riding the Sky Pod elevator, you’ll experience an immersive, floor-to-ceiling time-lapse story of NYC’s 500-year evolution in less than 60 seconds.
After the inspiring audio visual show in the SEE FOREVER THEATER™, you’ll progress to the 360-degree main observation area on the 100th floor where on a clear day you can see for 50 miles beyond NY’s iconic landmarks, bridges and waterways.
Then step on the SKY PORTAL, a 14ft reinforced glass disk and see what’s happening on the streets literally beneath your feet. One floor higher there’s a cafe, bar and fine dining restaurant where you can enjoy a drink or a meal while looking down at a tiny Statue of Liberty.
Circle Line Landmark Cruise (1.5 hours)
You’ll undoubtedly recognize Lady Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge, but your expert guide will add to your knowledge of the city by pointing out other places along the way such as the ‘Titanic’ Pier, USS Intrepid and Wall Street as he weaves them all into the fascinating narration about Midtown and Lower Manhattan.
After the first redemption, packages expire after 14 days.
