We had to ask for him to take the photo at first which he did others guest but we had to ask and then to say they only take it one time was unacceptable! I sent $45 just to get horrible pictures. Thank you,Not to happy customer

5.00Cute, but overrated!!! If you have extra time that's fine, but not a priority. Nice view, for heaven's sake, but, in my opinion, it's definitely not worth it!

4.00Great views of the city. The weather was perfect when I was there, so you could see for ages from such a height. The only thing I would say needs to be included in the cost would be the TILT experience. Maybe the overall cost can be adjusted to include that and maybe a discount on the exorbitant prices of the “professional” photos the staff take of you before you go up the escalator. Overall…worth it, perhaps with some price tweaks.

5.00On the day, we went, the lines were short and moving easily. Staff that directed us between the points were curious and kind. There was ample space to view the city from all angles.
Great Views, Great Weather!

5.00Great view of the city. We went on an absolute clear day so it was fantastic. Highly recommend this experience!
Expect several extra-charges. Cheap bar. I do not recommend.

1.00This is misleading advertising. The Sip ticket includes a very limited selection — only four of the cheapest cocktails. On top of that, they prepare different-quality drinks depending on how you pay: for prepaid ticket holders, the margarita is made from a mixer, while customers paying cash receive a proper cocktail. The photos used to promote the TILT experience, but it’s not included in the ticket and require a separate payment. The FAQ states that the TILT experience can be added for $8, but upon arrival they charge $16. When I asked about the discrepancy in the TripAdvisor listing, the staff claimed they have no control over the information there, which is hard to believe. Overall, a disappointing experience. I do NOT recommend it.
