5.00The views were beautiful! We timed it where we would see the sun setting, which added to the experience. We also paid to take photos on the beam. It was definitely worth everything!

5.00Well worth it. Great experience and the history to the building. Loved the beam & the opportunity to get photos done. Loved that you could buy & download photos yourself. Better than expected.
