    A well-secured observation deck with a breathtaking view of Manhattan. We can take as many photos as we want. The only downside is a low-frequency hum (music or ventilation) that gives you a headache after a while.

    The boat was very smooth and very enjoyable seeing the statue from afar, and the line and checking before entering was super smooth and fast. Definitely the best service💯

    Thank God, the experience here was great, and there were no hitches at all. After what happened with the Summit tickets, I was expecting some kind of setback, but that wasn't the case.
