The excitement of Summit SUMMIT One Vanderbilt begins long before you even step inside. As you approach and prepare to discover its iconic spaces, there’s an undeniable electricity in the air—the thrilling anticipation of knowing you’re about to experience something truly unique. Once inside, the golden light of sunset sets Manhattan ablaze, offering a breathtaking, weightless perspective of the city below. From up here, landmarks like the Empire State Building and the Art Deco spire of the Chrysler Building feel almost within reach, bathed in a warm glow that makes them look even more majestic. The infinite reflections in the mirror room and the surreal lightness of the balloon room turn the entire visit into a daydream. It’s a moment of pure magic that I would recommend to anyone visiting New York.

Fun experience! My daughter and I both are very scared of heights, but we were able to power through and get a great picture in the glass picture area. The area where you step out in it has a glass bottom top and sides. The staff was very nice. I didn't realize it, but as soon as I stepped out in the glass, I grabbed his arm for stability. He did not seem alarmed at all. I asked him if it was OK if I held onto him and he just chuckled and said of course. I wish I could remember his name. He was very kind. It was a fun experience.

, but we still had plenty of opportunities to enjoy the views and take our time. I would recommend going around sunset if you can because watching the city change from daytime into nighttime makes the experience even better. Overall, it was a really fun thing to do in NYC and I would definitely recommend SUMMIT One Vanderbilt to anyone looking for something different to do in the city

My visit with Headout was special because everything was so easy and smooth from start to finish. I purchased my tickets for SUMMIT One Vanderbilt through Headout, and I was very happy with the whole experience. The booking process was simple, the tickets were easy to use, and everything went smoothly. I would definitely use Headout again for future experiences!

We got there early, made second in the line, service was expediated and soon we were up to enjoying the views. The whole experience was very interactive and we had a great time taking pictures. I'll bring my son on my next NYC trip!

A 5 year old's smile! Memories! Views! The silver balls were something else, floating overhead, under foot. Trying to keep her still for pictures. Impossible

Go beyond the ordinary at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, where immersive art installations turn panoramic views into unforgettable moments of self-reflection and connection.

Getting started

Your journey begins high above the city at the top of One Vanderbilt. After a seamless arrival, step into SUMMIT and prepare to experience the skyline in ways you never imagined.

What to expect

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

Begin your visit inside Air by Kenzo Digital, a multi-sensory mirrored space where the skyline becomes more than a backdrop, it becomes part of the art. Reflections stretch infinitely in all directions, challenging your perception of space, time, and self.

This isn’t just an observation deck, it’s a living, breathing fusion of design and cityscape that transforms how you see New York and how you see yourself within it.

Features:

Discover Air, a mirrored installation that reimagines the skyline as a surreal, interactive environment.

Feel a deeper connection to NYC as art and architecture merge in a space designed to elevate the senses.

Capture unforgettable visuals where your reflection and the city blur into one expansive canvas.

Immerse yourself in an experience that encourages introspection, curiosity, and awe.

Step outside to take in open-air views from SUMMIT’s outdoor terrace, or head to Après, the sky-high lounge where handcrafted cocktails and skyline views offer a serene finish. Whether you're here for the art, the views, or the thrill, SUMMIT redefines what it means to experience New York City from above.
