    Great experience at the top of the empire state building what a view!!! Was amazing to see all the buildings from such a height. Did miss going through the front foyer as that was glamorous a few years back.

  • Great experience for all ages—History and beauty all in one!

    Fantastic experience! The Empire State Bulding offers priceless view of New York and surrounding Burroughs. I’m afraid of heights and also have a bad ankle and can’t walk well—and everything was manageable and beautiful! To avoids long lines, we loved the express option to 86th & 102nd floors!

    Excellent viewpoint to observe the city in all its magnificence. The best thing is the 102nd floor. It's worth paying the extra price. (Very high by the way)

  • Breathtaking views on a clear night

    The exhibits leading up to the elevator to the 86th floor were informative and entertaining. Once outside on the 86th floor, the urban landscape is beautiful in every direction, from the East River to the Hudson. The 102nd floor observation area is indoors only and glass enclosed. The view is even better but lacks the presence of the outdoor space below. Highly recommended!
