We thought the entrance alone was special, and the balloon room—the photos taken there turned out beautifully. It was an unforgettable experience.

I had an amazing experience at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt! From the moment you step inside, it feels like you’re entering a completely different world. The mirrored rooms are absolutely stunning — every angle gives you a new, breathtaking view of New York City. The highlight for me was walking through the immersive exhibits and seeing the skyline reflected all around me — it’s honestly something you have to experience in person to fully appreciate. The glass ledges were both thrilling and a little nerve-wracking (in the best way 😅), and the views of the city are unmatched, especially around sunset. Everything was well-organized, clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. It’s perfect for photos, dates, or even just treating yourself to something unique. If you’re visiting NYC or even if you live here, this is 100% worth it. I would definitely go again!

It was an amazing experience full of spectacular view, and the stuff was really helpful. On top of that, I purchased the signature ticket which includes a premium drink in the price. I had an Espresso Martini, and I can say it was more than I expected to be. Thanks for everything.
