    Hey

    i am heading to new York in April just wondering about the visa that i have to get online. Does it take long to get approved. Also which website do i get it. Has anyone ever got the new York pass card as well to get into the attraction. Is it better i get it online or over there

    This is the official government website to get it: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/ It's not actually a visa, it's a visa waiver you are getting, and approval is usually instant, though can take a day or two depending on your answers.

    I don't find any of those city pass cards good value, unless you are going to spend ten hours a day charging around to reach as many attractions as you can.

    Um...the empire states building is $20, well it least it was when I went last month

    the $50 is for the flight simulator as well, which even as a 10 year old (When i went on it...) i didn't see as worth it

    Skip Empire State and do Rockefeller instead same view, less money, less queuing.
