Amazing experience and a wonderful place to bring the family and friends visiting the US who are into politics. Cafe has a good selection of food with decent prices, but I recommend eating out somewhere else. The facility indoors were recently renovated as well as the garden outside which overlooks the Hudson River. Over all it was fun.
Get ready for airport type of security measures, but worth it.
The world would be much worse without the United Nations. An impressive place where world politics is made.
United nations is awesome! You need to visit this place.
We had not booked a visit so we were confined to the main hall at the entrance, too bad for us. That said, it's a touching moment, however, to be where the decisions of the world are made. To do!
Totally bias , shows only one side of the story.
Definitely wouldn't come back and not recommend to others
Visiting the United Nations in New York is a different experience than we found there. I bought the tour in English and we joined a group of about 10 people. The tour takes 1h and the person in charge was very friendly with everyone. We have been through several halls and know many details of the UN's efforts to alleviate various world problems. We had the opportunity to enter conference rooms, including one that was having a meeting. It is a very informative tour and great for those who like.
Was here as a Background Actor on the show 'Madam Secretary'. It was wonderful, as usual! I love working on that show!
This place is a disgrace to mankind. The customer service was horrible, and the food was undivine. That's right. UN-divine. The food was so bad that I went home and ate cat food as a pallet cleanser. For $16 dollars I can go to Mc Donalds and have a tour of my own house instead of the UN building.
I would not recommend this to a friend.
A place where you really experience equality and humility at its utmost form
Amaizing Organization Go for Peace & better world for everyone!
See how it all happens. The tour guides are fantastic
If you have kids, bring them! It is Very educational. The art is beautiful! Don't forget a good pair of walking shoes.
Expensive to visit, certainly given it is all already funded by our own money. What on earth are they thinking.
If only everyone agreed to agree. If only evil didn't exist. I can dream. Take the tour and dream too.
The U.N. is awesome! It was an honor to be able to go to this awe inspiring place!
Excellent tour and a brilliant amount of international history well worth a visit
Your fees$ 20 . Guides didn't give enough time in main spots as general assembly hall and security council. Giving unnecessary info during the tour.. Secured.. if you cannot go into the main two halls it's gonna be worthless.
It was a very interesting and educational tour, especially standing in the General Assembly and Security Council rooms. Security was courteous and the souvenir shop had very interesting items. This is a must do tour.
United Nations Headquarter located in Manhattan on the East River bank.
One of the most interesting architectural place in New York City, designed by the famous French architect Le Corbusier.
It's a really huge complex built for the diplomats from all the world.
It's also available for sightseeing for the touristic groups.
The guided tour is definitely worth it. We can see the different installations there.
You just have to visit New York if you are a little interested in world events.
Missing information, wait in a queue to tell you that you have to go somewhere else to make a pass. Also without a paid guided tour you have access only to the ground floor where there is nothing essential but only some photos.day exterior view to the river
The tour was great. Amazing to be where so much history was made!
The USA should leave this useless liberal group. And kick them all out.
It is an art gallery! The guided tour is not expensive and it is way worth!
Please . This is a very important message. I don't know if I chose the contact where I should write well. Please, whoever receives it, I ask the favor to forward it to the UN Secretary General, Mr. Antonio Guterres. Thank you
"Dear Mr. Guterres, I wish you the best success in your new position but I also need to communicate with you in a more direct way. For many years we have investigated our relationship with the islanders and we have a lot of information that we believe may be very valuable.
We appreciate your attention and greet you very cordially. "

It s not bad to go in and experience the feeling of seeing the UN meeting in the news before, hahaha
First of all, I have to say, the UN building itself is majestic and grand. If you are visiting NYC, and you do not check UN out, you are doing it wrong.
Before you enter UN, you have to go to visitor check-in office to obtain a visitor pass, which is located in opposite the street. Staffs will check your ID, ask you have you ever been to UN before and take a quick photo of you, finally, hand a visitor pass to you. Make sure visitor pass was pasted on visible place of you (like arm or chest) before you enter UN.
If you want to know UN better, you can book your tour in advance on UN website, or hit up the tour desk which is in the end of lobby, but it would be better, if you prior check tour timetable online, especially foreign language tour. Independent visitors are only allowed to gift shop, post office, book store, cafeteria, lobby and outdoor square.
There is a photo ops on first floor, which captured you are signing agreement. Cafeteria, post office, shops in the basement. There is a stamp desk next to post office, you can get one UN stamp on your passport or whatever for free as a keepsake. There are so many delicate craftwork from different country in gift shop.
Interesting building with rich history. Access free after extensive security check. Tour of building is only possible against payment, otherwise no view on the inside. Inside a small restaurant and gift shop. Outside a small image thumb. ao. from Luxembourg.
Interesting guided tour, I highly recommend to take a tour.
Great place to visit, it's beautiful and feels great to be in such an important place for the world.
You can enter inside for free, but if you want to tour the conference hall, you need to make a reservation and purchase a ticket in advance. Security Council meeting place. Conference on Economic and Social Councils. After visiting the conference hall, etc.
Organization caring for peace in the world. Very important role in the globalized world.
Zomi Women Representatives to the United Nations in New York.
Interesting tour but it deserves to be more thorough.
Traffic, parking but despite of all the logistic issues, it's a great place to be at.
Very interesting tour in an worldwide important building. Very knowledgable en friendly guide
Beautiful building and well indicated! Difficult to visit.
French and English. Very nice place. Amazing staff.
Home of Satan, the new world order, and a black hole that eats our taxes. Where decisions are made such as "It's a hate crime to criticise illegal immigration". A truly abhorrent decadent pit which defines the term irredeemable.
I don't like it.
Best experience so far...God bless and give us good leader to make decisions that would make the world a better place
The guided tour is very cool, but it s nice to do some research beforehand to be able to ask questions to the monitor and explore the visit better. The shop in the basement is very cool, enjoy the works of art in the outdoor patio
Not as convenient as before, make an appointment and exchange tickets across the street
Guided tours are a must in the United Nations.
Sometimes there are Korean tours, so check it out
Advance reservation is required.
The whole world in one place! I could buy everything in the gift shop
A great place to visit.... stick it on your list. Normally group's go (school trips etc) but good for singles as well.
An Organization, very interesting, informative, I saw an exhibition on RESILIENT HOUSES IN THE WORLD very good!
Very good and interesting. The Spanish guide, Jose, was careful and gave excellent explanation, thank you very much!
Definitely recommend anyone to get involved with the UN however they can. We can all make a big impact on the world if we work together. Check out and learn about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Having been there for work I was not able to visit as a tourist. Certainly a destination to consider if you go to NY. Rightly strict inbound controls
Horrible dark uncomfortable. The only valuable thing is its location and Evelyn who attends in a time slot. No support table and under the bed better not to look. I will not return.
Great for seeing and taking pictures of iconic places you always see on the news (if you do the guided tour which we booked a week in advance). Not that great at really imparting much historical information.
