Visiting SUMMIT One Vanderbilt was an absolutely wonderful and unforgettable experience! From the moment you step in, the journey is incredibly immersive, combining breathtaking views of the New York skyline with stunning architectural and mirrored installations. It truly feels like walking through a work of art suspended in the sky. The views of iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building are unparalleled. This is definitely one of the most unique observation decks I have ever visited and is well worth the ticket price. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any traveler visiting NYC—you won't regret making this a priority!

The tour guide, Mindy, was excellent. She was well informed and treated everyone with respect. She answered children's questions as well as adults. She had a good sense of himor and made the afternoon fly by. I highly recommend her and would take another tour with her.

The Central Park Zoo is a great half-day trip for families with young kids. Everyone had a wonderful time, there’s plenty to see without too much walking, which makes it perfect for little ones. The 4D movie was a big hit and added a fun extra touch to the visit. Highly recommended for a relaxed family outing in the city!

I loved the flexibility of being able to hop off at places like Times Square, Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty ferry stop, then hop back on when I was ready to keep exploring. It was the perfect way to see a lot of NYC in one day without feeling rushed.
