When using KLOOK NY Pass, travelers will be asked to make a reservation after the purchase is completed, so just follow the instructions on KLOOK to make a reservation, which is convenient and cost-effective.

I watched from the third row from the front. My throat hurt a little, but it was nice to be able to see the actors' performances up close. Thanks to Klook, I was able to purchase the tickets conveniently and used them well. You must see the Lion King.

The trip you can choose from the New York pass, absolutely affordable, loops around Manhattan, passing the Statue of Liberty will drive slowly waiting for you to take pictures
