Was great and to be done ! Special plus for the Edge experience. I recommend to be there 30' before sunset so you can enjoy the view in day and night mode.

Kenny was such a vibey person, he really gave us every piece of information we wanted to know about it all, he was also just a really fun person to have as a tour guide. Meeting Avery was personally my favourite part of the tour and she had inspired me to audition one day.

Lot's of new information about the Rockefeller buildings. Our guide was really enthusiastic and well prepared. It would be better if the tour would contain the observation desk.

Great but sad experience!!!! We wanted to honor those you experienced 911 first hand, but we never realized how many layers there were to this tragedy. We appreciate the work that went into this exhibition and will encourage others to visit, also.

I went for the Alvin Ailey exhibit which was good. I would return for the other exhibits which I didn't get to in this visit.
