Booking with Headout was easy and straightforward. I was able to go to MoMA and see works of arts from very well known artists. I was really excited and surprised to see "The Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh. I was so excited to see it in person. Additionally, I was amazed to see paintings from Monet, Matisse, Pollock, Frida Kahlo, David Rivera, Picasso, Dali, Warhol, Cezanne and manyyyyy more. I would highly recommend.

Everything was perfect—very simple and efficient. We arrived early and got in right away; no lines, no problems. They didn’t ask for any ID, though they did check our backpacks, and then we went through an airport-style metal detector. Even the ferries to and from Ellis Island and Liberty Island were fast—it’s impossible to go wrong; everything is super organized.

It was a breeze—we just had to scan our tickets, the staff was super friendly, and we didn't wait more than 3 minutes before heading up. We went around 6:50 p.m., just in case :)
