The views were spectacular and the video of the City's growth overtime on the elevator ride up was really cool. It would have been good if more instructions were provided about the use of the $15 voucher and the tablet provided. I booked in advance and didn't remember everything I paid for when I got there.

Visiting One World Observatory was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped into the sleek and modern lobby, we knew we were in for something special. The elevator ride alone is incredible, as you watch the transformation of New York City’s skyline over the centuries in a matter of seconds. Once we reached the top, the 360-degree views were breathtaking — you can see the entire city, including iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and Brooklyn Bridge. The interactive displays and digital guides really added to the experience, giving us detailed insights into the buildings and neighborhoods we were looking at. There’s also a sense of awe knowing you're at the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, which is a remarkable feat in itself. The staff was friendly and efficient, and though it was busy, the observatory is spacious enough that it never felt crowded. We also enjoyed a snack at the café while soaking in the views, which made for a perfect break before heading back down. If you're in New York, this is an absolute must-do. It's not just about the views — it's about experiencing the heart and soul of the city from above. Highly recommend!

The observation deck is the best view of the city, but the expense is fairly high for what amounts to walking around a room for 15 minutes. The 'skip the line' ticket simply allows you to go to a seperate line through security. After that, everyone is in the same line for the elevator, everyone is in the same line for the 'movie', everyone is in the same line to get through the mandatory picture area, and everyone is in the same line to get through the 'upsale' area where they try and sell you a tablet that explains what you are looking at (not sure how anyone with a smart phone thinks this is helpful). The trip is a continuous and unavoidable attempt to sell you additional services and products.

The views were all inspiring, and I was very glad to be there. It did not disappoint from the beginning of walking in to the elevator ride to the sites at the very top on the observation deck. When we had questions, the staff were absolutely awesome. If we get back to New York, we would absolutely want our daughters to come up with us.

Audio narration was really good. Large overhead boards indicating next point of interest to start audio would have helped. The device was some confusing, it continuos closed out then you had to find your next exhibit

I am a former Metropolitan Police Officer and was deployed as a Family Liaison Officer to the american husband of his British wife who perished in the incident. To be able to see some of the remnants of the towers and to find the wife's name at the memorial was very emotional and humbling. I had wanted to visit the site for many years ad I am so glad I have now finally done so.

A wonderful , tasteful memorial to all the 9/11 victims and a great privilege to be there. Staff throughout were friendly and helpful and there was a suitably respectful atmosphere. The museum does justice to the event and all the victims and the final video on the humanity of the day , all the boats turning up to evacuate hundreds of thousands of Manhattan residents ( which we were unaware of) left a big lump in my throat and xthe shedding of a tear or two. Thank you.

The facility, the exhibits, and the fact that we didn't have to wait in line made it an amazing experience. I only wish we had alloted more time to see everything.

Worked out very well and a great visit. Need to be.clearer that to go up the statue you need to have a separate ticket or have it booked in advance. Its not par of the basic ticket

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.

The actual tour was perfectly organized, but I cannot say the same for the "headout" support team. Badly reviewed. How come no one picks up our phone calls for two days?!!

Visiting One World Observatory was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped into the sleek and modern lobby, we knew we were in for something special. The elevator ride alone is incredible, as you watch the transformation of New York City’s skyline over the centuries in a matter of seconds. Once we reached the top, the 360-degree views were breathtaking — you can see the entire city, including iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and Brooklyn Bridge. The interactive displays and digital guides really added to the experience, giving us detailed insights into the buildings and neighborhoods we were looking at. There’s also a sense of awe knowing you're at the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, which is a remarkable feat in itself. The staff was friendly and efficient, and though it was busy, the observatory is spacious enough that it never felt crowded. We also enjoyed a snack at the café while soaking in the views, which made for a perfect break before heading back down. If you're in New York, this is an absolute must-do. It's not just about the views — it's about experiencing the heart and soul of the city from above. Highly recommend!

Working with Headout was easy on my phone. Visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island was very moving and emotional. We didn't have tickets to go inside the statue, but wished we had bought them. The tickets were reasonably priced, which was a big plus for us. Everyone working with our excursion were polite and knowledgeable. It was so interesting to see how the statue was built and shipped. The enclosed pictures help to show the scale of her size.

We really liked that we could enjoy on our own. We tried the audio phones, however unsuccessfully. My husband could not hear we tried several different things but no luck. The phones were frustrating to my daughter also. I read everything for them, we really enjoyed the history. Even though the weather was somewhat uncooperative, it was a fabulous experience and we were so glad to have experienced.

It was not clear whether our tickets were also for entry to the Statue of Liberty. We wanted to walk to the top of the statue and were not allowed to. That's why we ordered the tickets. Nowhere did it say that we would not be granted entry.

Everything about this trip was great. The online booking system was fast and very user friendly. The ferry service to Liberty Island and Ellis Island was very good ( the exiting and boarding take a little time ) but overall very good. I have mobility issues and the staff were both friendly and very helpful making sure that I embarked and disembarked safely. The museum's on Liberty island and Ellis island are both very good and definitely worth taking the time to visit them. Food and drinks are available and very reasonably priced f considering they are busy tourist attractions. Highly recommend this trip for all, young and old.

time to get inside to the main event took way too long. i thougt i was at disney world, not what I was expecting or cared for.. once inside the main area, everything was fine..but the lines getting to this main even was just too long and too slow for my taste

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.

The access point was not clearly marked, lines to go up and down were too long, and the observation deck too crowded to enjoy. This is a recipe for sowing bad behavior among customers, and we saw that, too. We will not come back or recommend this activity to anyone else.

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
