The excitement of Summit SUMMIT One Vanderbilt begins long before you even step inside. As you approach and prepare to discover its iconic spaces, there’s an undeniable electricity in the air—the thrilling anticipation of knowing you’re about to experience something truly unique. Once inside, the golden light of sunset sets Manhattan ablaze, offering a breathtaking, weightless perspective of the city below. From up here, landmarks like the Empire State Building and the Art Deco spire of the Chrysler Building feel almost within reach, bathed in a warm glow that makes them look even more majestic. The infinite reflections in the mirror room and the surreal lightness of the balloon room turn the entire visit into a daydream. It’s a moment of pure magic that I would recommend to anyone visiting New York.

Fun experience! My daughter and I both are very scared of heights, but we were able to power through and get a great picture in the glass picture area. The area where you step out in it has a glass bottom top and sides. The staff was very nice. I didn't realize it, but as soon as I stepped out in the glass, I grabbed his arm for stability. He did not seem alarmed at all. I asked him if it was OK if I held onto him and he just chuckled and said of course. I wish I could remember his name. He was very kind. It was a fun experience.

A simply magical experience at the Empire State Building! Getting inside with our Headout ticket was incredibly smooth and completely hassle-free. The interactive exhibits on the lower floors are fascinating, but the 360-degree view from the top observatory is truly breathtaking. It was an unforgettable highlight of my trip to New York. I highly recommend booking with Headout!

My visit with Headout was special because everything was so easy and smooth from start to finish. I purchased my tickets for SUMMIT One Vanderbilt through Headout, and I was very happy with the whole experience. The booking process was simple, the tickets were easy to use, and everything went smoothly. I would definitely use Headout again for future experiences!

We got there early, made second in the line, service was expediated and soon we were up to enjoying the views. The whole experience was very interactive and we had a great time taking pictures. I'll bring my son on my next NYC trip!

A great experience, there are really beautiful views of New York, and it's also a lot of fun. Highly recommended. For me, it's number one among the observation decks.

A 5 year old's smile! Memories! Views! The silver balls were something else, floating overhead, under foot. Trying to keep her still for pictures. Impossible
