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!

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%.

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!!

    All of the security staff were helpful in getting us to the right door. Perhaps the signage could've been better as it was a big building. I hadn't seen the state Empire State building in many many years so it was time again for me to go up. Haven't gone up other buildings. I did find this one expensive for what it offered compared to the other buildings. I went up and what they offered
