This place is a must visit! It is such a unique experience. The views are absolutely gorgeous. It is worth every penny! I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary if visiting NYC. It was a little bit hot inside but the views were so amazing that it didn’t matter much. I would love to come back again and see it at night time. The experience start to finish was fantastic.

What a spectacular experience 👌
To all of you, NY lovers, photography gurus, social media rats, etc..
Don't go, RUN there!
I've been in quite a few of the best skyscrapers of Manhattan, but the mirrors which are all over the place.. Making it a totally different ballgame!
I must say that it was more crowded than I wish, as it made shooting quite a challenge, but than it is August.. the city is packed with tourists.
It's definitely worth another visit.. it should be interesting during the snow season.

Very good view of Manhattan. The glass floor is quiet impressive. There are two floors available for observation. If you move to the second floor you cannot go back to the first floor. You either stay there or proceed to the exit. Visited at 6 pm and stayed there enough to view the city at night. A whole new experience.
360° views with a punch. There’s multiple floors and activities to do at summit. The best building to conquer in the city. It offers the best view in my opinion. I went there at 9:30 pm Thursday night and it was PACKED. This doesn’t come with the CityPASS so you’re gonna pony up some hard earned dough for the well deserved praise and clearly astonishing views. The staff were cool. It was very cloudy when I went but I still had a blast. You’re verbatim in the clouds, any higher and you’re gonna need a protective space suit. The best time to come is an hour before sunset, so you can experience both day and night on the highest point of the city. The gift shop is whack for not having a metal replica of the building, but that’s a minuscule issue.

A worthy experience that beats the Empire State. Ladies be sure not to wear dresses or skirts if you don’t want your body parts showing. Buying tickets right before sunset runs out fast so buy tickets ahead (the transition is gorgeous). Overall, awesome!

The Summit is a social media experience first. The "observation deck" is an excellent backdrop for the reflective experience. There are unparalleled views of Manhattan's icons from every direction. The staff is numerous and incredibly friendly. The venue offers casual food and beverage, and extensive museum quality shop, and compelling photo concessions. This attraction is very busy and appears to be admitting more customers than they are designed to handle. Be patient. It's worth it.

Prepare to run out of phone memory from all the photos you'll be taking. The views from the summit are spectacular on all 4 sides (including the bathrooms have floor to ceiling windows). I recommend dedicating easily 2+ hours for this attraction as there are interactive things to do in every floor. I'd say show up two hours before sunset (cheaper tickets) and then spend the hours leading up to sunset exploring the first 2 floors before going up to the terrace as you cannot go back down to the other floors once you move up. Overall highly recommend and can see myself taking friends and family there in the future.
