Everything was very nice, except for the long wait! It took so long in the cold, snow, and drizzle, and leaving us out in the open wasn't right... They should also specify that the tickets are for a specific activity, because when we arrived at the Statue of Liberty, we wanted to go up with my mother, but they wouldn't let us. We had to pay more! But they didn't have anyone there to collect the money either. It should have been before we left or when we bought the tickets!

For me, the Empire State Building is one of the most iconic buildings and places in New York. I visited it 30 years ago and always return whenever I'm in New York. I find the entertainment area on the ground floor and information about the ESB, including the recreated "King Kong scene," simply fantastic. The ESB is a must.

I had my 11 year old grandson with me and he was so excited to see the famous buildings around us from different vantage points. He had learned a lot about the Empire State Building at school and was thrilled to so it in person. He also loved climbing from the 80th to 86th floor!!

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!

The tickets were easy to redeem. The experience was great! We enjoyed learning about the history of the ESB before getting to enjoy the views. The views are incredible! We appreciated the arrows pointing in the direction of many major city attractions to look out for. The outside viewing deck was also good - it was very windy and cold the day we were there, so we didn't enjoy it as much as the indoor views.
