Just Ok. Not worth the price

3.00It was ok. Empire State Building is better. Don’t waste $ in the iPad. It was annoying to use. Disappointing and the glass floor is cheesy

5.00It was an incredible experience. I went up with my friends (one from out of town, and one born and raised in Queens, I’m from Harlem NY), and it was such an incredible view! In all my years living in New York City, I’m sad I didn’t come sooner! Watching this tower get constructed to see what it is today is surreal. The staff were very friendly, informative, and made you feel welcome. One staff member took a picture for us at the observatory! Definitely will come again. The weather was rainy, but we were still able to see most of the city and surrounding areas. The options in the gift shop looked high quality and I was very tempted to purchase a hat (big 1 train fan). I will definitely be back here!
Nice sunset

5.00This was fantastic! The people there at World Trade Center are so nice. On the day we were scheduled to go, they let us know there was zero visibility. They rescheduled our tour for another day! It was worth it!!! Seeing New York from the top was beautiful and amazing! But go through World Trade Center to book. Just in case you can’t make tour for some reason because Viator will not back you up!
