My 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.

It was a really great experience—especially the flexible hours, which let us go whenever we wanted. It's top-notch and highly recommended for saving money on things to do in NYC.

A well-secured observation deck with a breathtaking view of Manhattan. We can take as many photos as we want. The only downside is a low-frequency hum (music or ventilation) that gives you a headache after a while.

This trip had been carefully planned and eagerly anticipated to fulfill my daughter Manuela’s dream of visiting New York. She had just turned 15, and with only a few days left before we set off, she started asking me about her favorite attractions—among them, visiting the Summit was the one she wanted most of all. It was our last tour. When she went up and saw New York from above, she hugged me and started crying, saying that dreams can come true, and that she would never forget that day. There were so many photos, hugs, and kisses. The memory is etched in my heart. Being able to book so easily just one day before our trip and having the experience we did was worth every penny of the planning we did a year in advance to make this trip happen.

When we arrived at the scheduled time, we were told that visibility was poor due to low clouds, and I was offered the option to reschedule the visit. The observation deck is lower than the newer ones in New York, such as The Edge or Summit, but the views of the Empire State Building and Central Park are unbeatable. They offer the option of riding a rotating outdoor elevator, as well as taking photos on a beam that recreates the iconic image of the workers who built the building.
