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.

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!

This was an awesome experience! I would consider myself a world traveler as I've been to viewing decks and buildings in 5 continents now and this has been the best bang for your buck. Most of them you just pay and go to the top but not this one! We elected to only go up to the 86th floor but even that was a great experience. The history of the building, the different movies that include the building and then being able to get our photo at the end was top notch. Highly recommend to other travelers!

The experience was what we expected once we got inside. We did not expect to stand in line for 2 hours just to get to Summit One and then wait in line again to get back down...we stood in line for over 3 hours for an experience that should have taken 2 hours total. The employee, Maria, was extremely rude when explaining that there was a long line to return to the ground floor. She let some people cut the line to get down the elevators and not others. It was very frustrating.

Summit One is beautiful and has great photo ops...however, the experience was less enjoyable than it should have been due to the staff running the venue...they're EXTREMELY bossy and rude...they were so controlling that I was in a bad mood before I got through the event. I would not pay to go there again and wouldn't recommend it to others either. There are other observation places in NYC that would hopefully treat you better.

I have been wanting to go and visit the Empire State building for years and I finally had the perfect opportunity to do so. I loved being able to see the historic building with my two children. I was impressed with how clean and organized the staff and facility was. Staff was extremely friendly and made the experience feel very comfortable.

We were absolutely overwhelmed by the amazing experience and views from the Empire State Building. We went as high as the 86th floor and the scenic changes between daylight, sunset and the spectacular lights at nightfall were breathtaking. I couldn't stop taking pictures. It was the best and exhilarating. Highly recommend!
