It was more than amazing. I loved the view from there. I could see most of the city from the height. It's wonderful for taking photos. Inside, there were also some extravagant places. It was a beautiful experience that I recommend.

My wife and I are Uruguayan. Summit was Vicky's dream from day one. With tickets purchased in September 2025, she was already sure: "I want to experience Summit." We tried to get tickets from Uruguay, but it was impossible. We arrived in New York... and still couldn't. Until we finally could. On Thursday the 5th, at 12:30 AM, we were entering. And what we experienced there was one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives. You can see it in the smiles, the excitement, the shared joy. An impeccable place, attentive staff, designed for adults and children, with the unique magic of putting Manhattan at your feet. Summit is not visited: it is felt. It's a before and after. I congratulate those who made this incredible venture possible: they show NYC like no one else, they create jobs, and they make you leave with your heart and soul full. I am a cancer patient. And this place gave me more strength, more life than I had before. I laughed, I took pictures, I enjoyed myself... I lived. And I decided something else: to return. I will return with my children and my grandson. I will close the cycle of dreams fulfilled in life. What Vicky dreamed, I decree. Summit, we will see each other again.

To see it in its entirety was fantastic. The volunteers assuming ex- servicemen made it like you were part of it. Both the Intrepid and the Growler were amazing to walk through. The free Kamikaze video was very moving.

It's a very welcoming experience. The place is very clean and the animals look healthy. I liked the entrance, seeing the very cute seals, and the penguins too, but my favorite part was the tropical area where the birds are. It's a warm place full of tropical species and plants. The birds fly over you, you're right next to them. All the species there are very beautiful. I really enjoyed my visit to the Central Park Zoo.

Very easy to book with Headout and price lower than regular site with the Arte Museum. I read the fantastic review and was note disappointed. You could easily spend 2hours there. The experience is a spirit booster. I highly recommend Arte Museum and even all the one around the world. The Musée d'Orsay was little trip to Paris.

The Statue of Liberty was beautiful. It was super unique and a once in a life time experience. I think what could improve is food and cellar service. If the island is completely off grid there should be a better way to give visitors access to wifi.
