It was more than amazing. I loved the view from there. I could see most of the city from the height. It's wonderful for taking photos. Inside, there were also some extravagant places. It was a beautiful experience that I recommend.

The fact that it was snowing outside made it all the more special and I loved the outside experience before we got to the tent. The only thing I missed is I wanted to purchase a train book from the gift shop and they weren't Danny.

Beautiful exhibits set in the conservatory with tropical trees. The old home models on the Hudson are detailed and exquisite as are the buildings and bridges of New York city. The trains themselves however, are disappointing.
