An unforgettable experience in every way. Let's talk about the view—it's a real feast for the eyes, and there's nothing quite like the sheer joy of seeing New York in all its glory.

I found both of them to be quite an entertaining experience; you really should set aside at least half a day to fully enjoy these museums. I think both have something incredible to offer, even without paying for the extras. Personally, I would have loved to visit the specific dinosaur section, but all the fossils I saw were impressive, and that was just a small part of the entire museum. The art museum was truly incredible; it had some lovely pieces with powerful messages. I went with my girlfriend, and she enjoyed it to the fullest. Even though I’m not that big of an art fan, I had an amazing time, and it was a wonderful experience, so I totally recommend it.

Empire State Building is way more than just a observation point! It´s a museum, with multible exhibitions and scenes. From the building of Empire State to the movies it has been a part of. The most famous is King Kong from the early 1930´s. The Observation deck gives you a perfect 360 degrees view of Manhattan and New York, and it´s truly spectacular!
