Be prepared to get services it's best you are in large group. SUMMIT appears to cater to large groups in hopes of staff making tips. In addition be prepared staff don't pay attention when others in either lines climb through barriers to advance in lines

What a fantastic attraction. Three floors of beautiful views, delightful staff members and a very clean and well maintained environment. If that weren’t enough you are right on top of Grand Central Station, absolutely fabulous.

That it’s just a great experience that everyone should try. It’s kid friendly as well and it’s not just a place to visit but a place to let go of fear.
