    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.

    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.

    I loved visiting The Edge, it has a very interesting immersive part. I loved the pink and yellow bananas. Going out to see the city from above was impressive, it leaves you speechless. We enjoyed it very much!
