I highly suggest every one go visit. Yeah you have to pay but its worth it ok. You will need 3 or 4 hours so make sure you have lots of energy and good sneakers.

Visited in Sept 2020 during the COVID Pandemic... Admission via a "suggested" donation of $20/person - I, instead, suggest that as a visitor, you "offer" a significantly smaller amount.

The museum has also a gift shop with very original NYC gifts!…

On a quick visit to NY with my parents, we stopped by the Museum of the City of New York. We parked across the street since it was a Saturday. It was easy to get into. The exhibits were good, the staff were wonderful. We purchased a few items at the gift store. The staff also told us how to get to the Statue of Liberty.…
