Arrive early to pass security checks. Better to go at off peak times as it was a overcrowded Couldnt really see the beauty of it all. But fun experience.

This was a very neat experience and interactive. However it was very crowded and it was hard to get good pictures because of so many people in each area. It may have been due to the time of year and near Christmas. Not sure.

Incredible experience! Few different rooms to enter and experience different things like the mirrors and balloons and standing over the edge on glass! It was beautiful and you’re very high up to see the view of New York. We went in the evening so saw all the city lights. Definitely recommend for fun and for a beautiful, romantic/relaxing time.
