Underwhelming and rushed

Underwhelming. Get in, run around after your guide. No time to look at the displays of the history of the venue in the concourse. Look at the ice rink from the middle level. Follow your guide, hurry up hurry up! Look at the ice rink from a high level. Let's go! Follow your guide! Don't be slow! Look at the ice rink from the ground level. Thank you and goodbye.

Not worth it

Group too large. Couldn't hear tour guide. She needed a microphone. Didn't see many areas I haven't seen before as an MSG guest. Worst of all, because the artist scheduled to perform tonight requested it, we WERENT ALLOWED TO TAKE ANY PIX IN THE ARENA! Seriously? worst arena tour experience I've ever had and Ive done many

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.
