Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Big BuckUnion164 contributionsGotta go and walk and walk. Take the trails and explore. Surprise after surprise. Walk around reservoir a must. It is most definitely a wonderful oasis among towering buildings and honking cars.Written 15 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jessel41 contributionsGreat memorial, very moving to see all the names. It was clean and not too busy during our visit. We didn’t go into the museum, but the memorial itself is worth seeing.

The lines for the tickets was very long so we ended up just buying the tickets online there and it was a lot faster. It was handy that they had free Wifi.
After getting the tickets in the email, we were able to just head in to the first display. There are multiple levels of things to see and the museum is segregated into different areas. This can make planning for going through the museum easier. I ended up just going floor by floor and seeing what was there.
With all the myriad of things to see, I really enjoyed the Egyptian exhibits particularly the Temple of Dendur, which was inside a huge interior space. The Greek and Roman sculptures were also quite fascinating, particularly the intricate ones carved in stone. The war area with weapons and armor was also interesting.
The paintings were located on the top floor and the main stairway from the atrium leads directly to it. The numbered room helps with traversing the enormous gallery. There were so many different paintings in the area and I really enjoyed the nature scenes. The ginormous paintings were also quite impressive and nice to look at.
It is very hard to see and admire everything in a day. I managed to see most things but I wasn't able to spend much time to take in the displays. It helped that I was there on a Friday and it was open later. I had to leave "early" (1730) for another event but otherwise might have been able to see everything in the day. Definitely, a must-do in New York and can be done over several days to make it less hectic.Written 9 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Would book this tour again just to listen to more of her stories. Her insight, wisdom, and warmth was the highlight of an already magical day. Thanks, Renita! We will definitely be back to the ESB.Written 20 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Magnolia FAmsterdam, The Netherlands4 contributionsThe observation deck at Rockefeller Center is an amazing spot with an incredible view of New York City. From the top, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the city, including famous landmarks like Central Park, the Empire State Building, and the Statue of Liberty. The atmosphere is special – there are great facilities for taking beautiful photos and enjoying the view at any time of day. The staff is friendly, and the lines move quickly. This is one of the best places in New York to take in the city from above, and I highly recommend visiting it!Written 26 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lbyrne99Dublin, Ireland380 contributionsDefinitely try to see a part of this at least . Good views and nice spots to sit and eat your lunch along the way .

- Karen FairweatherSwansea, UK502 contributionsWe went on the boat to The Statue of Liberty, and when we arrived, we picked up our audio sets and used this to go around the island learning all about the history of the Statue of Liberty. It was an interesting tour, and we all learnt a lot whilst listening to the audioWritten 20 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Caroline LPLondon, UK2,087 contributionsWe had to visit here whilst in NYC, it was really busy and packed with people. The lights were amazing though so worth to visit albeit brief. The souvenir shops however were very overpriced there are other places to buy at more reasonable prices so don’t just think it’s USA pricing.Written 8 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Greg W2 contributionsGreat tour full of fun facts. John DeSanto was a great knowledgeable tour guide full of fun facts. Even as a native New Yorker I loved the tour!Written 11 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MrDream688New York City, NY28 contributionsWalking across Brooklyn Bridge is one of the best experiences in New York City. This iconic suspension bridge connects Manhattan and Brooklyn, offering stunning views of the city skyline, the East River, and the Statue of Liberty in the distance. Whether visiting during sunrise or sunset, the scenery is breathtaking. The pedestrian walkway is perfect for a leisurely stroll, biking, or capturing amazing photos. A must-see for anyone exploring NYC!Written 20 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sonsli U13 contributionsIf i was rich, I’d live there. Superb? I felt as if Fred Astaire were on my arm, or Gene Kelly dancing me down the street—just dancing, or singing in the rain.Written 14 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GAR993 contributionsI made the mistake of visiting on a weekend, which meant the museum was insanely packed even in January. There were too many noisy children and I think they overfilled the museum. The exhibits themselves though, I can’t fault. Many interesting galleries. A highlight is the gems and minerals exhibitWritten 17 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Hayley56 contributionsAmazing way of seeing the Statue of Liberty without paying to see it. It was really quick and easy getting onto the ferry and we had a brilliant view from either side of the boat. On the way to Staten Island sit on the right side of the boat to see the Statue of Liberty. Would absolutely recommend doing this if you don’t want to pay anything to see the statue! You also get a stunning view of Manhattan and all the skyscrapers.Written 14 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- eja117New England758 contributionsLiked it a lot. Never saw such good fusion foods. Very interesting place. Decent location, although you sure as heck can't really drive a car there or anything. Liked the water fountain thing. Don't let a little kid get too close to that. A little dark and very crowded at lunch time. So many options it can be difficult to decide.Written 1 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
