SUMMIT NYC is a really cool and unique exhibition that mixes art with amazing city views. Instead of just being a regular observation deck, it has mirrored rooms, lights, and interactive spaces that make everything look unreal and kind of trippy. One of the best parts is the glass ledges where you can look straight down, which is scary but fun. Overall, it’s a fun experience and great for pictures, but it can get crowded and feels a little short for the price.

It was truly unforgettable! It was my last day in NY and going to Summit was the perfect choice! Breathtaking view and sparkling horizon of The Big Apple - I'll never forget this feeling.

I went with a friend. It's an experience you shouldn't miss if you visit NYC. I went at night and the view was beautiful, but I'll go again during the day.

**Your Experience (Summary)**See New York City sparkle from above with a nighttime visit to SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, where panoramic views, immersive art, and city lights create an unforgettable evening adventure.

Getting started

Your evening begins at the base of One Vanderbilt, just steps from Grand Central Terminal. After a quick security screening, board the elevator for a thrilling 42-second ascent to the top where glass walls open up to sweeping views of Midtown Manhattan.

What to expect

Watch as the city transforms into a vibrant sea of lights. From your elevated vantage point, spot the Chrysler Building, Times Square, Bryant Park, and even the Statue of Liberty glowing in the distance.

Explore three levels of immersive, multi-sensory installations:

Air by Kenzo Digital surrounds you in mirrors that reflect the starlit skyline in infinite dimensions.
Levitation lets you walk out onto transparent glass skyboxes more than 1,000 feet above Madison Avenue.
Cloud by Yayoi Kusama fills the space with playful polka dots that contrast beautifully with the night sky.
Step into Reflect and Affinity, where mirrored rooms and floating orbs shimmer in the soft glow of the city.

Features:

Witness NYC's iconic skyline light up after dark.
Access immersive installations across all three levels of SUMMIT.
Enjoy stunning photo ops from every angle with glass floors, mirrored walls, and outdoor terraces.
Discover world-class art installations that respond to the night in completely new ways.

Wrapping up

End your visit with a handcrafted cocktail at Après, SUMMIT’s sleek indoor lounge with unmatched nighttime views. Whether you're winding down or celebrating a special moment, it's the perfect final stop before descending back into the heart of Manhattan
