What to expect
Opened in 1883, this iconic bridge almost didn't see the light of day. As you admire its impressive architecture, you'll hear about the multitude of problems which beset the construction process, as well as how engineers finally overcame them. NOTE: This 2-mile-long tour covers the essentials of Brooklyn in 1-2 hours. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

As the less famous sibling of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge is sometimes unfairly overlooked by visitors. But it's a majorly picturesque structure, and the DUMBO neighborhood actually gets its name from this bridge!
10 minutes
Jane's Carousel
This classic wooden carousel was built in 1922 for an amusement park in Youngstown, Ohio. It has been restored to its original working condition and is a wonderful stop for any youngsters.
