FamilyVerified bookingJun 20265/5Booking tickets through Headout was fast and very simple. We bought out tickets at the last minute as we stood outside of the building and we're able to bypass the lines at the kiosks inside. Summit One was a fun and thrilling experience, especially the elevator ride. It was so smooth we couldn't believe we went up >90 floors that quickly. The whole experience was so well run and each room/floor had a different experience that kept you guessing what was next. I would definitely recommend going to Summit One if you want something that is unique and interactive for the whole family with amazing views. I would also recommend Headout for a stress free ticket buying website to speed up the entry process.RRaisa S

CoupleVerified booking4 days ago4/5It is definitely an interesting thing to do and a lot of fun. But it's also very commercial and very about trying to sell you photo packages and souvenirs. The elevator lineup is very cool, and once you get to the top, it is absolutely amazing. The floor and mirrors will blow your mind, the view is spectacular. We went on a day where there was a lot of Hays in the air from the smoke from Canada so we could not see as much as we would've liked to, but the views are amazing. It was fairly crowded, but very manageable. We walked around what did the other floors, played with the balloons. All in all to me it's like going to the edge, but it's indoors, plus you get a 360° view. The reason I rated four stars is, I think it's very expensive for what you get, and it's way too commercial with the photos and all the gift shops that you walk-through. But when it's a hot day and you don't wanna walk around outside, it's a very cool thing to do.MMaryna S
SoloVerified bookingLast week5/5If you're choosing a tour, I highly recommend the Grand Central Terminal + SUMMIT Vanderbilt. My guide, Lynda, was fantastic—she showed hidden corners of Grand Central and shared stories about its history and architecture. You don't just see the station; you truly feel its unique atmosphere, and you'll want to come back to explore even more on your own. Combining the Grand Central tour with SUMMIT One Vanderbilt feels like traveling through two different eras in just two hours—from the timeless elegance of this historic landmark to the stunning modern architecture and breathtaking views of NY. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend it!SSerguei D
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5The Summit One Vanderbilt was a great experience. We were able to start waiting in line 30 minutes before our time slot and the process to get inside was very straight forward. I went around 10pm and the view at night eas amazing. I'd highly recommend booking this, especially in the evening!
