Easy to find the bus at the meeting point, even though no one wears blue and yellow shirt. Yurika san is an experienced bilingual tour guide who speaks Japanese and Madarin. She was able to provide details for everything, from history of attraction sites to locations of souvenir shops and clean toilets. Noon: 30-min-walk at the Watkins Glen State Park. Beautiful scene 4pm: Arrived at the Niagara Falls, US side. We spent around 40 mins here taking pictures. Then got on the bus and crossed the border 5:30pm: arr. at Canada. 30mins only for photo-taking. Then got sent to the hotel: Comfort Hotel Niagara Falls. Had dinner at a nearby restaurant. Took Uber to see the firework at 10pm by the falls. Next day 8am: return to US side 9am: Maid in the mist. Bring sandals and roll up your pant legs over knees to stay dry. The poncho can cover everything except your face and lower legs. Noon: outlet 7:30pm: arrived at NYC Tips: USD 10 per person per day, as suggested by the tour guide

The American Museum of Natural History is well known for Night at the Museum. The animal exhibits are like a scene cut out of a living thing, so you never get bored of looking at them. It would take a day to see everything, but if you just want to see the main attractions quickly, you should be able to do it in about 2 hours. In fact, that's the limit if you have children. I went around 3:30 in the afternoon, and there were not many people, so I was able to go around comfortably. After purchasing the ticket on Klook, I was told that I needed to make a separate reservation to enter, but when I went, I was able to enter with just the QR code on my Klook voucher.

I was able to get a pretty good seat even though I was alone. I was overwhelmed by the live orchestra and Elphaba's singing voice and I couldn't stop crying. Glinda is too honest and cute. The women's restroom is crowded, so please head to the restroom immediately during the intermission. It takes some time to enter the theater, so it's better to arrive 45 to 60 minutes before to enjoy the atmosphere of the theater and buy merchandise and drinks.

Easy to use Klook voucher to enter. The view was breathtaking and I suppose it will be even nicer at night with the lightings and all.
