Visiting SUMMIT One Vanderbilt was an absolutely wonderful and unforgettable experience! From the moment you step in, the journey is incredibly immersive, combining breathtaking views of the New York skyline with stunning architectural and mirrored installations. It truly feels like walking through a work of art suspended in the sky. The views of iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building are unparalleled. This is definitely one of the most unique observation decks I have ever visited and is well worth the ticket price. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any traveler visiting NYC—you won't regret making this a priority!

The Edge Observation Deck was absolutely breathtaking! The view of the New York skyline was incredible, especially on a clear, sunny day. The glass floor and open-air deck gave such a thrilling perspective of the city below. The staff was friendly, and everything was well organized from entry to exit. Perfect spot for photos and soaking in the beauty of NYC from above. Highly recommend visiting right before sunset for the best light and views!

Excellent! I made the decision to visit with my family at 5:30 to have the view of the day and night, to see both views of the city was memorable, the service of The Edge team was exceptional, it was not necessary to wait in line, we had no delays. In my opinion it is one of the best views in NY and I recommend it to all my friends.
