NEW YORK — Tours of Grand Central Terminal are resuming for the first time since being halted because of the COVID-19 pandemic, with global tour provider Walks as the new operator, Metro-North Railroad and City Experiences have announced.
Tours will be held starting at 3 p.m. daily, with $35 admission for adults and $30 for children. The 90-minute tours include major sites such as the Main Concourse, Grand Central Market, Transit Museum, Vanderbilt Hall, Grand Central Clock, and Whispering Gallery.
“Grand Central Terminal is one of New York City’s iconic locations with a rich history that will once again be told to visitors and fellow New Yorkers alike,” Metro-North President and Long Island Rail Road Interim President Catherine Rinaldi said in a press release. “Metro-North is excited to bring tours back after a two-year pause and are confident that Walks’ storytellers will do the history of Grand Central, and all the terminal’s historical features, proud.”
A beaux-arts style building that opened in 1913, Grand Central joins a list of sites featuring exclusive guided tours by Walks that also includes the Vatican and Colosseum in Rome, the Louvre in Paris, and Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia.
