The visit was easy without a wait at all since the weather wasn't that great. We were told ahead of time that there wouldn't be a view due to the cloud cover but we still enjoyed being up in the clouds. It was beautiful without a view so I imagine on a clear day it would be amazing.

Everything went really well, but we crossed over to Elíse Island, and when we wanted to come back, we had to wait over an hour for the ferry. It was so cold that we all froze. Aside from that, everything else was wonderful.

I loved the place. The views were beautiful. I found the staff to be very polite and helpful. The building was spotless. Everything was in perfect order. I would go back a thousand times over.

Everything was well organized, clear expectations and purchasing the tickets was so easy! There wasn't as much people at 7:30 when we went, so it also made the experience so much better!! Also, the 86th floor elevator supervisor / manager was so well spoken in Spanish and knew so much about Costa Rica and Venezuela which made our WHOLE night that much more amazing!

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 bought my tickets to the Empire State Building through Headout, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Since I was traveling with my partner and our schedule in New York was very tight, I needed a reliable platform that would guarantee me tickets without any hitches, and Headout delivered 100%.

    It's spectacular! The views are breathtaking. But I think it could use a little updating—for example, replacing the railings with glass.
