New York CityPass adds Met Museum

NEW YORK CITY (AP) -- CityPass is celebrating its 10th anniversary with the addition of The Metropolitan Museum of Art to attractions included on the New York pass, and the Hockey Hall of Fame to attractions covered by the Toronto CityPass.

Other attractions covered by New York CityPass are the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim, the American Museum of Natural History, the Empire State Building and the Circle Line harbor cruise. The booklet, good for nine days from first use, is $65 ($49 for ages 12-17). It can be purchased online, at citypass.com, or at any of the attractions.

CityPass covers admission to the Met as of June 1st. The museum just re-opened its Greek and Roman galleries. CityPass ticket holders also get admission to The Cloisters, the Met's outpost for medieval art and architecture in Upper Manhattan. The Cloisters house the world-famous Unicorn Tapestries, seven woven wall hangings from the 15th century depicting a hunt for a unicorn.
