Simply amazing! It exceeded our expectations...we were able to make a memorable experience following a year of my daughter's sophomore year of college. So glad we took the time.

Everything. The skyline at night. However, there were a lot of people hugging the views with their photos and influencer friends.

Visiting Summit One Vanderbilt was truly one of the highlights of my trip to New York City. From the moment I stepped into the building, everything felt immersive and futuristic. The combination of stunning architecture, mirrored floors and walls, and the interactive art installations created an otherworldly atmosphere. The elevator ride alone was an experience, and once at the top, I was blown away by the 360 degree views of Manhattan and beyond. Watching the city stretch out beneath me, especially during sunset, was nothing short of magical. The entire experience was thoughtfully designed to engage all the senses from the reflective infinity rooms to the open air terraces that let you feel the wind at dizzying heights. It wasn’t just about the view; it was about how you felt in that space excited, inspired, and a little bit in awe. Whether you're a first time visitor or a local looking for a new perspective on the city, Summit One Vanderbilt offers an unforgettable adventure high above the hustle and bustle of NYC. I can’t recommend it enough!
