This was an awesome experience! I would consider myself a world traveler as I've been to viewing decks and buildings in 5 continents now and this has been the best bang for your buck. Most of them you just pay and go to the top but not this one! We elected to only go up to the 86th floor but even that was a great experience. The history of the building, the different movies that include the building and then being able to get our photo at the end was top notch. Highly recommend to other travelers!

Visiting the Empire State Building was a great experience. The observation deck wasn’t overly crowded, which made it easy to enjoy the views without feeling rushed. A really nice touch was the heating lamps on the outdoor deck—they made a big difference and kept it comfortable even in cooler weather. Overall, it was well organized, relaxed, and absolutely worth the trip.

I had a good time, there are good prices. I also bought tickets on this site for the parks in Orlando, and tickets for a Broadway show. There had been a problem with the Orlando parks, they had sent me the same ticket for several different parks, but with a little bit of effort in chat support, they were able to send them to me and everything was ok.

    The ferry ride and self guided tours of the SOL and Ellis Island were fun. Disappointed that the ticket did not include the pedestal. I thought when I read before booking included the pedestal. The Edge was great yet windy and cold.
