Visiting the Empire State Building was absolutely worth it. I purchased the Express ticket and it made a huge difference—everything felt smooth and efficient, from entry and security to getting up the elevators. I didn’t have to spend a long time waiting in lines, which let me enjoy the experience without feeling rushed or tired.
