    Truly exceptional...highly recommended...but plan on spending 5 to 6 hours there if you want to take your time and see everything. There are many interactive areas that kids really love.

    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.

    The line wasn't long when we got there (week day midafternoon) but it was kind of fun just skipping the line and going straight to security. The views were amazing even if it was a hazy day.

    I went with a friend. It's an experience you shouldn't miss if you visit NYC. I went at night and the view was beautiful, but I'll go again during the day.

    The Edge viewing area offered a different vantage point than Empire AND One World. It is very well staffed, there is no breakfast option up there, which would have been nice. Grest views on NJ, Mid Town, etc. MOMA is MOMA, one great exhibit after another....again, well/professionally staffed.
