Hi, me and my girl had an amazing time on the SUMMIT one Vanderbilt experience. It was my first time in New York and the first time going to an attraction like this one. We did a long line that tooks us up in the skyes and since we pass through the door we got amaze by the views and how everithing looked. The timeframe for all activities was very generous and the fact tha we could decide when to keep going was perfect to really get the view and the experience. The only not that great was the room of ballons due to there being way to many people at the same time and kids kiking the ballons. But appart from that all the view and the pictures they took for us was extremely great and a pleasant experience.

It was an amazing experience full of spectacular view, and the stuff was really helpful. On top of that, I purchased the signature ticket which includes a premium drink in the price. I had an Espresso Martini, and I can say it was more than I expected to be. Thanks for everything.

It was a great experience- I felt it was unique and fun and great ambiance as well. The only drawback I faced was how overwhelmed it got with the entrance. I don't know if it was overbooked but other than that minor issue it was fine. Would love to come back again!

    The experience was what we expected once we got inside. We did not expect to stand in line for 2 hours just to get to Summit One and then wait in line again to get back down...we stood in line for over 3 hours for an experience that should have taken 2 hours total. The employee, Maria, was extremely rude when explaining that there was a long line to return to the ground floor. She let some people cut the line to get down the elevators and not others. It was very frustrating.
  • Go beyond the ordinary at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, where immersive art installations turn panoramic views into unforgettable moments of self-reflection and connection.

    This isn’t just an observation deck, it’s a living, breathing fusion of design and cityscape that transforms how you see New York and how you see yourself within it.

    Features:

    • Discover Air, a mirrored installation that reimagines the skyline as a surreal, interactive environment.

    • Feel a deeper connection to NYC as art and architecture merge in a space designed to elevate the senses.

    • Capture unforgettable visuals where your reflection and the city blur into one expansive canvas.

    • Immerse yourself in an experience that encourages introspection, curiosity, and awe.

    Wrapping up

    Step outside to take in open-air views from SUMMIT’s outdoor terrace, or head to Après, the sky-high lounge where handcrafted cocktails and skyline views offer a serene finish. Whether you're here for the art, the views, or the thrill, SUMMIT redefines what it means to experience New York City from above.
