A must while visiting NYC - the levitation experience was amazing. We are in our mid 50s and had a great time!

The view was very nice but the process was very rushed and overwhelming. We were rushed through lines like they were herding cattle. I do like the pictures you can purchase at the end. They were actually affordable. Overall, great experience. I would just like to not feel rushed. It makes people very anxious.
