Good but not GREAT

4.0Queue was huge but went down quickly, first issue was that I couldn't get a QR code from the app or email. Summit printed one and gave us tickets, but after waiting had to go to the back of the queue we had stood in for nearly 30 minutes. Great views, staff really helpful. The rooms are amazing but the room with the balloons in is far too busy for the size. Loved it but no way is it worth the price tag.
Fabulous views and a fun experience!

5.0What amazing views of nyc! We went at 10:30 am but it was a cold day so very busy and the elevators were very slow due to the wind. Over an hour to get to an elevator! Once you get up to the viewing area it is fabulous! Highly recommend. Worth it even with the wait!

Disappointed when told cash was not accepted in cafe area. Not enough seating area for the amount of traffic through dining area. Overall enjoyable experience and a must visit in New york.

2.0Most of this consists of you lining up in queues for one mirror room and a small room with balloons in it. There’s way too many people you can’t get a decent picture. Room looks much smaller than on the pictures. Takes over an hour to even get into the first room as the line is so long. So expensive for what you get. They also wouldn’t let us go on the balcony so not worth the money at all. Save your money go to the Empire State Building for a better experience
