The location is very convenient, and you can see wax figures of different celebrities. The method of using the tickets after purchase is very simple. I will definitely come again next time I visit the United States.

The location is very convenient, accessible by transferring from the subway to a bus. Inside the museum, you can see various fighter jets, space shuttles, and the Concorde, things you rarely get a chance to see abroad.

A day tour to Niagara Falls from New York City is an excellent option for travelers who want a convenient, hassle-free way to witness one of the world's great natural wonders without the logistics of renting a car or booking an overnight stay. While the long journey can be demanding, the awe-inspiring experience of the falls makes every hour on the bus worth it.

The long-awaited Harry Potter is back, this time focusing on the next generation and telling the story of what happens next. The set design and effects are absolutely stunning and worth seeing.

The tour guide provided a very detailed explanation, and there wasn't a dull moment during the two hours. If you don't have a lot of time, I recommend taking this tour. The bus left 15 minutes early that day.

Buying e-tickets and skipping the line is super convenient! I recommend starting your visit from the 5th floor (Van Gogh's Starry Night, Gauguin, Monet, etc.). Even visiting on the weekend, it doesn't feel too crowded, and the quality of the visit is quite good. The souvenir shop also has well-designed merchandise, and you'll definitely spend a lot of time in the shop area 👍

Buying e-tickets is super convenient – you can go straight to the queue for entry! Security checks mean you might spend a little time in line, but if you're bringing kids, I highly recommend this place! My children had a blast 👍
