I visited the Empire State Building on July 3, and the experience was unforgettable. The Art Deco design is stunning up close, and the exhibits—especially the King Kong gallery and construction history—made the visit feel richer and more immersive. The open‑air 86th‑floor deck delivered incredible 360° views of New York City, and even with the summer crowds, everything moved smoothly. It’s easy to see why this landmark remains one of the top attractions in the world. Highly recommended for anyone visiting NYC

Booking tickets through Headout was fast and very simple. We bought out tickets at the last minute as we stood outside of the building and we're able to bypass the lines at the kiosks inside. Summit One was a fun and thrilling experience, especially the elevator ride. It was so smooth we couldn't believe we went up >90 floors that quickly. The whole experience was so well run and each room/floor had a different experience that kept you guessing what was next. I would definitely recommend going to Summit One if you want something that is unique and interactive for the whole family with amazing views. I would also recommend Headout for a stress free ticket buying website to speed up the entry process.

Took my son on a trip. We love the Empire State Buiding. Very easy to get tickets and went right up. Didn't get photos when we went up.

It is definitely an interesting thing to do and a lot of fun. But it's also very commercial and very about trying to sell you photo packages and souvenirs. The elevator lineup is very cool, and once you get to the top, it is absolutely amazing. The floor and mirrors will blow your mind, the view is spectacular. We went on a day where there was a lot of Hays in the air from the smoke from Canada so we could not see as much as we would've liked to, but the views are amazing. It was fairly crowded, but very manageable. We walked around what did the other floors, played with the balloons. All in all to me it's like going to the edge, but it's indoors, plus you get a 360° view. The reason I rated four stars is, I think it's very expensive for what you get, and it's way too commercial with the photos and all the gift shops that you walk-through. But when it's a hot day and you don't wanna walk around outside, it's a very cool thing to do.

See two of NYC’s most iconic observatories in one seamless visit, combining classic and modern skyline experiences with a single ticket.
