I visited the Empire State Building 25 years ago on a high school field trip as a 16 year old kid from Ohio. Now as a parent myself of a 16-year-old child, I wanted to give my daughter the same breathtaking experience of seeing New York City from the world's most famous skyscraper, the Empire State Building! I was blown away by the updates. We loved walking through the second floor museum and there were many opportunities to take photos. We loved the picture opportunity with King Kong ! Also it was awesome to learn and see how the building was constructed in under 1 year back in 1930. Overall, it was well worth visiting again and we enjoyed every moment that we shared together on the observation deck of the 86th floor. Whether it's your first time or you're bringing your children for the first time it is something that you cannot miss out on experiencing. This is it, The Empire State building and there's nothing like it in the world!

The Statue of Liberty is beautiful, as is the history surrounding the island and the story of the French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, who designed the statue in collaboration with the engineer Alexandre Gustave and the architect Richard Morris. Beautiful!

Visiting the Empire State Building and going up to the 80th and 86th floors has been one of the best experiences of my life. Being up there makes you marvel at the vastness and beauty of the city. Go at sunset—it’s definitely the best time.

The Night Tour was amazing and the Guide (Aaron) was brilliant! It was great to hear all of his personal stories about living in the city and his love for this great city was clear. It was the highlight of my trip!

I visited the Empire State Building on July 3, and the experience was unforgettable. The Art Deco design is stunning up close, and the exhibits—especially the King Kong gallery and construction history—made the visit feel richer and more immersive. The open‑air 86th‑floor deck delivered incredible 360° views of New York City, and even with the summer crowds, everything moved smoothly. It’s easy to see why this landmark remains one of the top attractions in the world. Highly recommended for anyone visiting NYC

It was great, fast-paced, and really entertaining. The only thing worth mentioning was that we didn't know we had to leave our backpacks in lockers to go up, so we had to rely on the kindness of strangers to lend us some cash. Other than that, I highly recommend it. Thanks.

    The building is incredibly well maintained. Was very impressed with all the old photos and the recreations showing how the building was built.
