First of all, everything is so very organized. All of the "ushers" were friendly and knowledgeable. I felt welcome and could've stayed all day. What an amazing experience. I loved the room with the sounds of the construction going on and the movie clips. And then the view from the top!!! I was only in NYC for one night. The Empire State Building was the perfect tour to get the whole picture. Thank you for a well ran, comfortable place to visit.

We are a newlywed couple who traveled to New York from South Korea. We stayed in New York for three days before traveling to Cancun. The night view of the Empire State Building was the best experience I can't forget. New York is a place I really want to come again.

We originally booked tickets for Sun evening but on arriving the weather was bad and told no view so we were easily able to change to another time.We changed to Tue 10am ,the opening slot.When we arrived at 9.50am there was already a huge queue down the street.We weren't sure whether to join it or go to the front...several other groups had the same confusion.We were allowed to go straight in as had early tickets but only because we asked..it's not very clear.Once inside there was already another large queue for security!We were abit limited for time due to all the queuing so rushed through the museum part which did look really interesting about how the building was constructed.Once at the top the view is awesome ..the lift is so fast up the 87 floors!It's all very organized,some of the staff are abit abrupt but they are trying to keep everyone moving along I guess.Large gift shop on the way out .

Loved all of it. Exceptional tour. The only thing that could be improved is the information on where to queue when first arriving. The man on the door didn't make it clear, then got cross when folks where getting it wrong. But it didn't spoil our tour of the building. And it's def best done at night. The view was incredible.

The courtesy and kindness of the staff to begin with. They guided us in the correct directions, because it can be a bit confusing as to which way to go at first. But then....wow! What an experience. The views are absolutely incredible. It was quite windy on the 86th floor, so when the wind gets a bit much, there is an enclosed deck a couple of stories down that offer wonderful views. The gift store is your one stop shop for everything you want. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, thank you!

We expected a guide during our visit to give a history of the building and other information relating to it. We had no tour guide, so we just read some of the information that was on display. I think a guide and one that answerd any queries as best as they could would have made our visit more enjoyable.

Arrived as requested 15 mins prior to entry only to be told return on time of entry and to then join a very long line!!! Why pay for skip the line? Everybody in the line was asking the very same question with no reply from the support team. Otherwise the visit was excellant! Great assistance throughtout once inside the venue plus great views at the top! Only disappoitment was the skip the line not actually being skip the line!

The visit was great, the only reason I didn't select "Awesome" for a rating is that I purchased the skip-the-line tickets and there were no lines to skip so I didn't really need to spend the extra money on the enhanced tickets. I'm assuming people cancelled their plans to visit because of some weather earlier in the day which was great for us, it felt almost as if we had the place to ourselves.

I could have spent all day on the observation deck. This experience was amazingly breathtaking. The only downside was when trying to leave. The line to exit was wrapped around twice with no clear beginning or end. There were so many people you really could not move. In the event of an emergency, it could have ended poorly. Establishing a better exit strategy will make this experience even more magical than it already was.

Hello to who it may concern. I went on the website. I was going for the freedom tower one of observatory. It was a little confused in and somehow. I ended up paying a $152 for the edge, my fiancée. And I had planned the night out. And when we got to the freedom tower. I showed them to ticket on my phone. And they said it was for the wrong place. They asked if I would like to buy 2 tickets for the one observatory. I had no choice and of course. I said yes, instant another $152. We did get to go and see the freedom power one observatory, but we lost time and money. Because of the confusion. So I ask what can be done about this. Will it be a refund or will there be a different day to go? And maybe just see the experience of the edge. Please let me know thank you sincerely charlieolszewski 914 943 2131

IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE VIEW OF NYC, the attraction starts in the elevator, I thought the projections on the walls were really cool, a mixture of technology and nostalgia. I also really liked the service and the organization, but it was a shame that the day was cloudy and the scenery was a bit spoiled. I'll definitely be back.

There was too many people, maybe you should put some time limit. Because everyone wants to take a picture and to walk, to see the city from the rooftop. But there was a lot of people at same time on same place. We were not able to take a photo. Maybe time limit will solve this problem. Time limit of one hour

This was a great experience. Views are breath taking and there was no rushing you away. We could take out time to take in the views and get some pictures. Went at sunset and it was busy and plenty of people who didn't understand the concept of queuing for certain locations. The outside deck is on one corner but you can get inside views of the whole 360 degree surroundings. Longest queue was to get down but even that went quick quick. Can definitely recommend

The perfect time, just before sunset. This way, you could see the city in the light and also in transition, when the lights in the streets or on the buildings go on.

The boat cruise through downtown NY including the Statue of Liberty is spectacular, and not to mention the ascent to the Summit, that is an otherworldly experience that in most countries can not be lived. The professionalism and punctuality of the officials in charge of the events is impeccable. Congratulations.

We originally booked tickets for Sun evening but on arriving the weather was bad and told no view so we were easily able to change to another time.We changed to Tue 10am ,the opening slot.When we arrived at 9.50am there was already a huge queue down the street.We weren't sure whether to join it or go to the front...several other groups had the same confusion.We were allowed to go straight in as had early tickets but only because we asked..it's not very clear.Once inside there was already another large queue for security!We were abit limited for time due to all the queuing so rushed through the museum part which did look really interesting about how the building was constructed.Once at the top the view is awesome ..the lift is so fast up the 87 floors!It's all very organized,some of the staff are abit abrupt but they are trying to keep everyone moving along I guess.Large gift shop on the way out .

The man on the door didn't make it clear, then got cross when folks where getting it wrong. But it didn't spoil our tour of the building. And it's def best done at night. The view was incredible.

The courtesy and kindness of the staff to begin with. They guided us in the correct directions, because it can be a bit confusing as to which way to go at first. But then....wow! What an experience. The views are absolutely incredible. It was quite windy on the 86th floor, so when the wind gets a bit much, there is an enclosed deck a couple of stories down that offer wonderful views. The gift store is your one stop shop for everything you want. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, thank you!

I could have spent all day on the observation deck. This experience was amazingly breathtaking. The only downside was when trying to leave. The line to exit was wrapped around twice with no clear beginning or end. There were so many people you really could not move. In the event of an emergency, it could have ended poorly. Establishing a better exit strategy will make this experience even more magical than it already was.

I thought we were buying direct tickets and when we arrived we had vouchers that needed to be exchanged for tickets. We were with a large group so were separated as we had to go through a different line and wait. Versus had we just waited in line to buy tickets.

Everything was good.the only thing I didn't like it was that you actually don't buy a ticket you buy a "voucher " and you have to make a line to receive your tickets so, technically you waste time in that, you could make the same line to buy direct ticket too

The courtesy and kindness of the staff to begin with. They guided us in the correct directions, because it can be a bit confusing as to which way to go at first. But then....wow! What an experience. The views are absolutely incredible. It was quite windy on the 86th floor, so when the wind gets a bit much, there is an enclosed deck a couple of stories down that offer wonderful views. The gift store is your one stop shop for everything you want. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, thank you!

Excellent displays Wide-ranging variety of artists and art forms The crowd was moderate - enough people to give off a vibe of excitement, but not so many that it was hard moving around, reading captions/explanations, and getting some up-close views of the work Easy access to stairs and elevators Exciting to see in-person some works we have only encountered in books or via video

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Incredible Experience at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt** Our visit to SUMMIT One Vanderbilt was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with stunning views of New York City that took our breath away. The immersive experience, combining art, architecture, and technology, created a truly unique atmosphere that we won't soon forget. The observation deck offers unparalleled 360-degree views of the city, and the mirrored rooms added a surreal, almost magical quality to the experience. Each level provided something new and exciting, from the glass floor to the open-air terrace. The staff was friendly and informative, ensuring we got the most out of our visit. Whether you're a local or a tourist, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is a must-see attraction that offers an unforgettable perspective on the city. Highly recommended!

Early afternoon visit with clear skies. It made for breathtaking views and unforgettable photos. The activities were just as great. The floating balloons, the faces on panoramic screens... Too bad about the wait to take pictures in the air. But that in no way detracts from the pleasure of this activity.

The whole experience was so well organized. And so unique! The excitement started in the elevator, and continued through to the reflection room, the sphere room, and the levitation room! And the outdoor deck provides an alternative, peaceful, end to the experience! The unique experience would I believe put it "a level above" any other usual observation deck experience.

It's a great way to cover the world famous sights and monuments of NYC in this efficient manner. But something unfortunate happened. It started raining. so all the passengers from the upper deck rushed to the covered deck below. The driver forcefully shooed all the non seated passengers off the bus in the middle of nowhere, under pouring rain. I understand that this is a safety guideline but there ought to be a more considerate way of doing things. I felt so sorry for those who were affected.

Was too long sitting in traffic. Too much filler music on guided tour. How about educating us on all the gorgeous architecture, the beautiful churches? There was plenty more to talk about. And you really dont see many of the sights from the bus. A bit misleading. 2 of our headsets were static. Not worth the money.

We expected that people with tickets would have a shorter wait. Unfortunately, everyone had tickets and had to wait in line for 2 hours in the sun until the security check. Then another 1 hour until we were on the ship. On Ellis Island (also with a long wait) there was little time for the exhibition and we were back in Manhattan on the last ferry at 5:40 pm. The trip to Liberty Island and Ellis Island was very nice. However, we spent a good 4.5 hours of the more than 7 hours in line.

Since the weathers condition suddely changed we were not able to enjoy the view and not allowed to visit the terrace part, but on the other hand we got amazed with the museum and building history. We would love to have the experience again having the opportunity to view the entire city from there.

Empire State Building | NYC’s most iconic observation deck

Voted the number one US attraction for two years in a row, the Empire State Building is a must-visit attraction! It remains one of the most distinctive and famous buildings in the world and is sure to offer a memorable experience. Find out more about your ticket options, what to see, and other helpful information for your visit on this page.

Things to know before booking your Empire State Building tickets

  • Two levels: The Empire State Building has two observation decks: the 86th and 102nd floors. The 86th-floor deck, which is open-air, is included with a general admission ticket. To visit both floors, you’ll need to upgrade your ticket for access to the 102nd floor at an additional cost.
  • The views: The 86th-floor deck offers sweeping skyline views, and you can spot many famous landmarks. However, some barricades might obstruct your view if you’re trying to capture panoramic photos or videos. The 102nd floor, though smaller, has floor-to-ceiling glass windows that offer a clearer, unobstructed view from a higher vantage point.
  • What’s included: All tickets provide access to the exhibits and galleries on the 2nd floor as well as the famous Art Deco Lobby.
  • Visiting during peak hours: Wait times during peak hours can range from 30 minutes to an hour. To avoid waiting in line, choose skip the line tickets. Keep in mind that while these tickets allow you to bypass the ticket queue, you’ll still need to go through security screening.
  • Sunrise vs. sunset: Sunset is a popular time at the Empire State Building, so expect large crowds. To enjoy the sunset with fewer people around, we suggest booking tickets to the 102nd floor. Alternatively, you can choose the VIP Sunrise Experience which comes with breakfast, coffee, and other delights.
