    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.

    The Summit was an amazing experience. Worth every penny. The whole thing take around 2 hours, but you'll wish you had more time there. Go at night to get the best views of the city. Fun for all ages. The photos you'll get there are better then anywhere else you could go in the city. The best thing we did in the city.

**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.
