Easy and quick process for tickets through Klook. Didn’t have to worry about any thing and made us feel so relaxed in our New York travel. we were able to make the 0900 which is a great start to our first full day in the city.

A must-visit, emotional provoking experience going into detail the events that led to 9/11 and the aftermath. I really respect the amount of effort gone into maintaining the objects that were left after the event giving everyone else the opportunity to deeply understand the reality of what actually transpired on the day.

After three trips to New York, I finally visited the 9/11 Museum, and it was incredibly moving. I highly recommend this museum! Buying tickets on Klook was very convenient, and I was able to enter directly using the QR code.

The story is easy to follow, the performers are excellent, and the theater is packed. There's a Junior's Cheesecake near the theater; I recommend trying it before the show.

A theater worth seeing, many of the special effects are amazing! You definitely won't find this atmosphere in Taiwan. Plus, the theater environment has many classic elements. You can take pictures and commemorate the experience. Oh, and you must try the Butterbeer. The taste is great! It's a little pricey, but worth the experience!
