CoupleVerified bookingLast week4/5It 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.AArielle M
FamilyVerified booking2 weeks ago4/5Brought the kids (14 & 8) it was great for both of them. Pretty easy to find, especially when driving into a nearby parking garage. Had something for everyone, gift shop was great, a little pricey but that's NYC! The pictures for purchase at the end were really great!HHillol C
GroupVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5Everything right from the lift to the view to the different activities including the ball room it was breathtaking at night. Only the entry queue was very long and too many unnecessary photograph before entry making the entry time go upSSerguei D
CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5The Summit One Vanderbilt was a great experience. We were able to start waiting in line 30 minutes before our time slot and the process to get inside was very straight forward. I went around 10pm and the view at night eas amazing. I'd highly recommend booking this, especially in the evening!BBettina A
CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5It easy amazing!! From the entrance to the exit. The staff made you feel important to them. They were all courteous respectful, and very helpful to everything you need. I had an excellent experience from Headout to the Summit. I will come back again.
