New York's Worst Tourist Trap: Times Square Museums

Cheapism says DO NOT WASTE YOUR time at the overpriced Times Square chain museums as they are typically panned by "travel bloggers." Cheapism says they have little to offer for the cost and time in the Big Apple would be much better spent at some more enriching museums.

Spots like the American Museum of Natural History, the Guggenheim, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, and so many more offer hours upon hours of engaging exhibits that are well worth the price of admission.
