Super fast service, and the staff was totally friendly and helpful. We were lost and asked someone on the street for directions; to our surprise, she was an employee there! She took her time and led us straight to the doors, and she wasn't even working—she did it in her free time. Even though it was cloudy, the view was a very lovely experience, and the interactive light section before reaching the platform is incredibly beautiful and fun. I recommend it 100 out of 100.

It was my first time in NY and the Observatory was the coolest thing I saw. When you walk in it had a futuristic look to the interior and after going through security you went into the elevator that had a cool transition on the screens as we got to the top floor extremely fast. Then the view from the top floor was indescribable leaving my friends and I speechless. You were able to walk around freely and spend as long as you want taking it in which was amazing to get pictures with friends and of the views. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit NY!
