Great views from the observation area. Smooth elevator ride up and interesting facts about the building. Going down a level after the tour leads to a large shopping and transportation area. Nearby are the reflecting pools and 9/11 museum.

It was a beautiful day with clear and awesome views! We stopped in the bar for a drink which was delicious and looked out the window and watched ships come down the river! All in all it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it!
