About Madison Square Garden

Address

Pennsylvania Plaza, 4, Manhattan
Open in Google Maps

Best time to visit

Visit on a weekday afternoon for a quieter look outside; for an event, arrive well before it starts.

Crowd level

With over 35,000 reviews and reports of full-capacity events, reserve seats 2–3 weeks ahead; a weekday matinee is a better choice for lighter entry crowds.

Directions

From Weehawken, take a bus to Manhattan’s Port Authority, then walk south to Madison Square Garden above Penn Station.

Madison Square Garden may appear on a Weehawken itinerary, but the arena stands across the Hudson in Manhattan, directly above Penn Station. The current Garden opened in 1968 and is the fourth venue to carry a name inherited from the original site near Madison Square. It is home to the New York Knicks and New York Rangers and has hosted major boxing matches, concerts, and other large-scale events. Its circular design and central location make it one of New York’s most recognizable indoor venues. Generations of athletes and performers have appeared here, giving the Garden a place in the city’s sporting and cultural history. On event nights, a full house adds to the atmosphere for which the arena is known.

Before you enter

  • Check your event’s start time and designated entrance before leaving Weehawken.
  • Review the venue’s current bag and security rules before packing.
  • Allow extra travel time when crossing the Hudson during commuter hours.

What to expect

  • Security screening is part of entry.
  • The arena hosts sports, concerts, and other events, so the setup varies.
  • Expect food outlets and restrooms inside, with busier concourses around event start times.

During your visit

  • Follow signs and staff directions to find your section.
  • Give yourself time to navigate the concourses before the event begins.
  • Expect crowded exits after major events; agree on a meeting point if visiting with others.
