I was worried that I was too late because I entered at 9:30 PM, but it was a great observatory for viewing the night view, so I don't regret it.

The performance is constantly full of jokes and touching. They will combine the interesting points of today's current affairs and put the actors in the story-telling performance, which is a bit like acting in a cartoon movie style, which is different from Chicago.

A crash course of New York City if you’re a first time traveller to this big city. The essential ticket is the way to go, as it includes Downtown (departing from M&M World) and Uptown (departing from 57th & 7th Av) there is also a audio guide along the way, maps & earphone provided. highly recommended to any one travelling solo, couple or group. Enjoy this city 👍🏽

Very smooth process and the view on "the edge" was so spectacular. However they have stated that the one photo is for free but then again will collect some money, hahahaha. Just be truthful on the marketing next time please!

I think this is the most fulfilling course during the trip. You can see various places in New York by bus, and on days when you have a hard time walking, you can sit on the bus and look around and rest. However, it would be great if there was a Korean audio. That's a bit disappointing. They say you can see as much as you know...

You can see a beautiful view from Central Park, and it is easy to rent and return a bike! However, it is a bit far from the park, so the 2-hour rental may feel a bit tight unless you are good at riding a bike! But it is okay.
