Fantastic MSG Fun!

Great fun packed into a short tour! Our guide JJ was awesome! From learning about the history of The Garden and the iconic events that have taken place there to visiting different seating sections and locker rooms, this tour was fantastic from start to finish!

Great Tour

Brayden did an excellent job as a tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and answered all questions. They took us all around the garden from the rafters to the suites to the floor to the locker rooms.

Best tour ever

I found this tour to be a once in a lifetime opportunity. To see the Garden and hear about its rich history was more than I could have asked for. Not only was I able to see the Rangers and Knicks locker rooms, but also got to tour the suites I would otherwise never step foot in. The design as a whole was a modern architectural marvel. I would highly recommend this to anyone that appreciates sports, architecture, or just the history of entertainment.

Terrible guide and good stadium.

We could not see the Knicks' locker room, but we did see the Rangers', a large and beautiful stadium.

A Good experience when you find where to go!

We had trouble finding where the tour started, the email wasn’t clear and no one was particularly helpful to begin with. However, once we found the check in desk everything was great. We felt we had plenty of time on the tour to take pictures and our guide was very knowledgable. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend

Mom of boys win

You wouldn’t think a sports arena tour would be all that impressive but, the MSG is the exception for sure! Lots of history surrounding it and the architectural information super interesting. Crazy the events it’s held and the vast variety of entertainers who have performed there. One dig on the experience was that our tour group was big and the guides don’t have mics. Also, there was music and other noises that interfered with the ability to hear. So it was hard to hear or catch all the information.

"OK guys! We have 2 minutes here and then we are moving on!"

If you want to take your time and soak it in, forget it. You are lead around the stadium at breakneck speed. I was in and out in less than an hour!

Were expecting more

It really depends on your guide. Ours thought he was an edgy New Yorker but he seemed like an uneducated, obnoxious idiot. He said alright and k every 15 seconds. On top of the fact that we were expecting to see the locker rooms and they were closed for home games.
