- Vanessa C.Chicago, IL5 contributionsVisiting The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum with my best friends was an incredibly moving experience. The memorial is beautifully designed, and the museum offers such a profound and thoughtful tribute to the events and lives affected. It’s a place that truly leaves you reflecting.Written 28 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JaneanGermany12 contributionsAs a woman who loves art, my visit to The Met was magical! Stunning collections, from the Temple of Dendur to Van Gogh’s masterpieces.Enjoyed a light meal at Petrie Court Café and a lovely fine-dining experience at The Met Dining Room. Food trucks outside were a great quick option.: Huge museum, best explored in the morning to avoid crowds.: A must-visit for art lovers—elegant, inspiring, and unforgettable!

- Fiona41 contributionsDo not miss this! A beautiful building with fabulous architecture. You can tour it by yourself or sign up for a guided tour. The reading room needs a tour guide to access. We saw the Winnie the Pooh exhibition and the shop is fantastic.Written 27 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mirko64 contributionsIn the heart of Manhattan, this incredibile museum is a must see for Who loves art and design. Take a full half/day cause it’s very big and the things to see are a lot.

- JHM231Connecticut241 contributionsThere are so many things to enjoy about the Cloisters. It is quite compact compared to other museums so you will be able to take it all in. The collections are stunning, especially the tapestries, but every area has interesting and historical architectural details, furniture, fixtures, artwork. The building itself is very atmospheric and features grand spaces, with collections from ecclesiastical ancient buildings. It is almost like travelling to medieval Europe - including the actual Cloisters courtyard gardens, another wonderful feature. Don't miss the view from the terrace over the Hudson! The Cloisters surpassed all of my expectations.Written 7 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Donald BCharlotte, NC5 contributionsReview of Intrepid Endeavor 2024 Trip
This cruise to the South Georgia Islands and South Shetland Islands and Antarctica rates 5 stars. The reasons are listed below.
• The Captain and Cruise Director were outstanding in finding places with good weather for the excursions. This especially occurred when rough weather set in and they quickly found a new place for an excursion.
• The Captain did an outstanding job of weather navigation and with the Operations officer even obtained special Chilian permission to sail within the limits near Cape Horn.
• The lectures on birds, mammals, history, etc. were excellent and every day.
• They were highly organized so the excursions ran smoothly.
• The Endeavor ship was late to embarkation port of Montevideo due to a hurricane. Intrepid paid for the extra hotel days and provide excursions in Montevideo every day.
• After many requests, Intrepid did provide 10 GB of free onboard WIFI – given the delay and the result of missing the stop in the Falkland Islands
• At the end of the cruise in Ushuaia, Intrepid also provide either a credit on future cruises or a 10% cash back on the paid berth amount.
• The ship Endeavor Madrid is an older ship built in the 1980s. Some things just did not work like streaming the ship’s cameras to the cabin monitors or monitor tracking of the ship’s position and progress. The HVAC system was also a challenge.
• The meals always had a wide variety of choices, even for a vegetarian.
• The booking customer services representatives were always very helpful.
Again – a full 5 stars.Written 7 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It had three excellent exhibitions going on. One was the history of Andy Warhol's career in film which is saying a lot since his films were always so weird. Another was on artifacts from the porn industry, which was interesting because of their pieces from different eras and having some of the items from the movie "Deep Throat". The last one was from a exhibition called "Lick It" and it was all X rated items for from the artworld. It was all in fun but it shows how porn has been with us for thousands of years.
Then I walked through 'Funland" which takes you through the lights and sounds of the pleasure palace of the museum, which is a lot of fun. You get to see and experience a lot in the Museum of Sex and it is a fun "X" rated time through a museum.Written 23 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We chose the tour called After the Famine : 1869 about a family who emigrated from Ireland. Our tour guide, Karina, was excellent and helped us to really feel what might have been experienced back in the 1860's. Our group had lots of comments and questions which made it even more interesting.Written 11 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- anonymoustippTipperary, Ireland19 contributionsBeautiful exhibition on Da Costa Greene. I would highly recommend it for the exhibition alone. The library itself is stunning and you'll be dumbstruck when you walk into the room.

- karenCFCLondon, UK476 contributionsAbsolutely brilliant tour of the island. So interesting but make sure you get the headphones and follow the tour from room to room. Very thought provoking with lots of items on display. I would recommend about 2 hrs plus to see everything .Written 23 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- brienanniKita, Mali257 contributionsThis is an amazing collection, three magnificent Vermeer's kick off the visit, intimately displayed in room of their own. You can visit the whole museum in 1-2 hours, so you don't get overfed with art. I actually enjoyed this more than the big ones.Written 17 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tony KOaxaca, Mexico203 contributionsThe show exceeded our expectations. The singing and acting was exceptional.
The theatre - studio 54, is an iconic heritage building creates a great atmosphere. Comfortable but not large seats, minimal leg or aisle room.Written 10 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The architecture location are beautiful also, right at the end of High Line. I just felt they could give more space to the permanent collection and not just one floor.Written 29 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
