Thankfully, the five stately Greek Revival fronted buildings and the chapel were listed on the National Register of Historic Places and saved from demolition.

Eventually, the location became a regional arts center and in 2008, Snug Harbor Cultural Center merged with the Staten Island Botanical Gardens to create the attraction it is today.

This cultural and horticultural hub has 28 buildings and extensive gardens covering 83 acres, where New Yorkers and tourists come to recharge their batteries and be inspired by history, architecture, environmental science and the visual and performing arts.

Fabulous
Sarah_M, 12-12-2022
Fantastic activity helped us to see so much of New York... would recommend this to everyone visiting, especially first-timers to the city
Easy to use
Claudia_A, 14-11-2022
Easy to use. We used it at the Edge and One World observatory and the ticket was recognized without any issue.
Empire State Building
Danutacook, 12-11-2022
Empire state Building Beautiful views.
The Viator ticket did not cover the entrance fee and I had to pay an extra $10. Wasn’t sure why.bought 2 pass and saw American Museum if Natural History. I also had to pay an extra $9 to include the Planaterium, otters Film and Sharks display.
Carefully check what's available prior to purchase
Jabbles, 25-09-2022
We purchased the pass prior to our visit to New York and carefully checked that it had places/ tours that we wanted to see and do, however it was a different story once in New York. The night bus tour was not running, the Daybus tour was not running though the hop on, hop off was thankfully. It did enable us a slightly quicker access to places as we did not have to queue up for tickets. On calculating the cost of what we spent against the cost of entrance fees we broke even so there was no big savings to be made but that was probably due to the dia exchange rate and lack of 2 services not running.
Saved money but could be so much better
RogerBristolUK, 15-07-2022
We bought a pass for 7 attractions.

Not being able to prebook for most attractions could easily have been a problem but we were lucky

As other reviewers say, items are listed (eg Harlem tour) that are not available which is inexcusable

That said we certainly saved money

One of my family members didn’t visit a couple of attractions and so had 2 unexpired entries on her pass which we tried to use for the same attraction but were refused which seems very unreasonable
