I found the entry process a bit cumbersome, with too many checkpoints to go through where tickets are checked multiple times and you are scanned from head to toe. Despite this, the experience is truly remarkable, the view is fantastic, and the attempt to deliver a more immersive experience is much appreciated.

The experience was incredible. First off, customer service was clear and precise, and they also recommended alternatives so we could keep enjoying our stay in New York. The fun was there from start to finish: right from the elevator, that light show and how fast it reached the top was a total "wow." When the doors opened and we saw each staging of lights, mirrors, and the panoramic view of New York City, it was an absolute 10/10. I would definitely do it again and recommend it to my friends and family. The cocktails were also excellent, and the staff was very friendly from the entrance to the exit of this beautiful experience. It's definitely a must-do plan. Thanks guys, Jhon and Alex.

The whole purchasing process and the options for the different attractions were excellent. Very clear, good prices, and a great variety of payment methods. It was very easy to just show the code for entry once we arrived at the Summit. It was also very kind of them to send us a reminder.

I loved seeing New York City lit up and feeling like I was floating high above, along with interacting with other people while playing with balloons. It's the best observation deck in NY!!!

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.

Combine the best of urban heights at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt and waterfront perspectives on a relaxing sightseeing cruise for a complete NYC experience.

At SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, enjoy immersive art installations spanning over three floors, sky-high glass ledges, and 360° panoramic views from over 1,100 feet above Manhattan.

The sightseeing cruise offers water views of the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Manhattan skyline, all while sailing along the Hudson River.

If you're looking for photo ops, look no further than this combo. It gives you the chance to capture your day in NYC from an aerial and river perspective, showing you the best of the city.
