I visited the Empire State Building 25 years ago on a high school field trip as a 16 year old kid from Ohio. Now as a parent myself of a 16-year-old child, I wanted to give my daughter the same breathtaking experience of seeing New York City from the world's most famous skyscraper, the Empire State Building! I was blown away by the updates. We loved walking through the second floor museum and there were many opportunities to take photos. We loved the picture opportunity with King Kong ! Also it was awesome to learn and see how the building was constructed in under 1 year back in 1930. Overall, it was well worth visiting again and we enjoyed every moment that we shared together on the observation deck of the 86th floor. Whether it's your first time or you're bringing your children for the first time it is something that you cannot miss out on experiencing. This is it, The Empire State building and there's nothing like it in the world!

Visiting the Empire State Building and going up to the 80th and 86th floors has been one of the best experiences of my life. Being up there makes you marvel at the vastness and beauty of the city. Go at sunset—it’s definitely the best time.

The Night Tour was amazing and the Guide (Aaron) was brilliant! It was great to hear all of his personal stories about living in the city and his love for this great city was clear. It was the highlight of my trip!

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!

It's more than just an elevator ride to the top. The history and expansions, the traditional Christmas tree, and more.
