I visited the Empire State Building on July 3, and the experience was unforgettable. The Art Deco design is stunning up close, and the exhibits—especially the King Kong gallery and construction history—made the visit feel richer and more immersive. The open‑air 86th‑floor deck delivered incredible 360° views of New York City, and even with the summer crowds, everything moved smoothly. It’s easy to see why this landmark remains one of the top attractions in the world. Highly recommended for anyone visiting NYC

SO fun, whole ticketing process was very smooth and there were so many things to read about RE history of the building. The 50th floor which was also an observation deck with windows, and had more Information about how the empire state building was built - it was very interesting and cool and when we reached the 52nd floor it had amazing night views - definitely recommend for anyone coming to New York. Some people say it's a tourist trap but I think it was very Worth it. Also tickets on this app were cheaper than the official site!

Empire State Building is way more than just a observation point! It´s a museum, with multible exhibitions and scenes. From the building of Empire State to the movies it has been a part of. The most famous is King Kong from the early 1930´s. The Observation deck gives you a perfect 360 degrees view of Manhattan and New York, and it´s truly spectacular!

The 86th-floor observatory not only offers breathtaking views of the New York skyline, it has also been part of several popular films including Sleepless in Seattle.

Hop aboard the double-decker and enjoy pre-recorded stories that bring NYC to life, while the mobile app helps you navigate the city’s streets with ease.

The bus tour provides easy access to various iconic neighborhoods and landmarks, including Hudson Yards, SoHo, Statue of Liberty, and Brooklyn Bridge.

With flexible scheduling, you can choose to enjoy both experiences on the same day or spread them out over two different days, according to personal travel plans.
