Compared to the other observation towers, the organization on site is really poor. We had tickets for 7:30 p.m., but didn't get in until 8:15 p.m. and were sent away from the queue three times with different times. You have to stand while waiting, there are no seats. The summit itself is well designed for young people/children, with lots of fun extras. The view is also good. Conclusion: the summit itself gets 5 stars, the organization gets 3, making a total of 4.

Everything is very impressive. Although I initially came to please my 16- and 19-year-old daughters, in the end, they had to remind me to hurry up because I was "lagging behind." From the video sequence room to the smooth speed of the elevator, then through the various rooms to the rooftop, everything is a magnificent discovery that allows you to see New York like nowhere else. Enjoy!

It was wonderful from the moment I walked in, the logistics were fantastic. Everything was very well organized; you get on the elevator and it has sounds that make you feel like you're floating up to the 92nd floor in an instant. The view of NYC is spectacular! And playing with the balloons is simply amazing. I would definitely do it a thousand times over! Guaranteed fun!

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.

    The entire experience was amazing. Worth every dime. The breakout rooms were all very special, the views were incredible. As a NYorker living outside of NY I captured some dope shots, can't wait to flood the timelines.

    My wife and I are Uruguayan. Summit was Vicky's dream from day one. With tickets purchased in September 2025, she was already sure: "I want to experience Summit." We tried to get tickets from Uruguay, but it was impossible. We arrived in New York... and still couldn't. Until we finally could. On Thursday the 5th, at 12:30 AM, we were entering. And what we experienced there was one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives. You can see it in the smiles, the excitement, the shared joy. An impeccable place, attentive staff, designed for adults and children, with the unique magic of putting Manhattan at your feet. Summit is not visited: it is felt. It's a before and after. I congratulate those who made this incredible venture possible: they show NYC like no one else, they create jobs, and they make you leave with your heart and soul full. I am a cancer patient. And this place gave me more strength, more life than I had before. I laughed, I took pictures, I enjoyed myself... I lived. And I decided something else: to return. I will return with my children and my grandson. I will close the cycle of dreams fulfilled in life. What Vicky dreamed, I decree. Summit, we will see each other again.
