1.00No organization for ticket timeframes. Seemingly could get into line without regards to your ticket timeframes. Took us over an hour and 15 min to get from our line to the actual elevator up. Experience in the 360 area was overshadowed by the huge line of people trying to get back downstairs. When we did decide to leave the observation “experience” we waited in another huge line/wait times. To get down. They need to keep guests aware of the extra long wait times.

1.00Look at the exact tickets you’re buying on here the tilt wasn’t included. When it comes to the times you choose that don’t even count. The smell in that building is horrible. Viator I could have gotten the actual tickets including the tilt for the same price off the website y’all are dead wrong
Not worth it

1.00We waited an hour and a half just to go up the elevator even though we had tickets. There was no air conditioning for much of the wait in the building’s hallway. The deck was crowded.
This was a terrible experience. Waited in line over an hour to go up and go down(had timed entry). All bar not much view

1.00This was a terrible experience. Waited in line over an hour to go up and go down(had timed entry). All bar not much view once you get to the top. Lines for everything and incredibly slow. Most of the observation deck is now a bar or a gift shop or another paid experience. This has turned into a commercialized racket. Do not recommend and I will never do this again.
Hard pass

5.00A really nice way to see the city. A nice break from all the walking. We would not do the TILT again. To us it was underwhelming.
