FamilyVerified bookingLast week5/5Booking 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.DDua S
CoupleVerified bookingJun 20265/5My visit to Summit One Vanderbilt was one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to New York City. From the moment I entered the building, everything felt smooth and well organized. The staff guided visitors efficiently, making the entry process quick and stress-free. As I made my way through the elevators, the excitement continued to build, knowing that I was about to see one of the most famous views in New York.JJulio O
CoupleVerified booking3 days ago5/5I buy our tickets, when we was exactly in from of the doors of the Vanderbilt, like 5 minutes before we got in. Because prices are better than the once offer by then. But anyway the tickets was available inmediately a paid for it, giving to us the oportunity to enter inmediately.ZZiv H

GroupVerified bookingLast week5/5Very special experience. Living in NYC we visited all well known popular observation points with our children and now the grandchildren. That vas the best experience ever for the kids and adults as well.
See NYC from the sky and river with this combo that blends futuristic thrills with classic waterfront views.
