Long queues, attraction is mainly about mirrors. Go there when it is low season or skipp it. The pictures are more spectacular than the real thing. Especially because they let in a hugh crowd wich makes it impossible to make beautiful pictures.

Amazing experience! Unforgettable scenic views. Very well organised and not overcrowded. The weather was also beautiful so added to a great experience of a beautiful view

I would not schedule ahead of time. The weather was bad (rainy and foggy) and we could literally see nothing.

We went when the building was in the clouds and it was still very fun. No other sky scraper experience is like this.

The experiences were fun and unique. Great views of the city. We got some nice pics and had a good time. We were there during the afternoon. Seeing the lighting of the top floors of Summit at night from other locations, I imagine it is even better.
