SUMMIT One Vanderbilt was definitely one of the highlights of my New York trip! The experience is unlike a typical observation deck — from the moment you step inside, everything feels immersive, modern, and beautifully designed. The views of Manhattan are absolutely incredible, especially with the floor-to-ceiling glass windows giving you a completely unobstructed view of the city. The mirrored rooms were my favorite part, with reflections of the skyline creating some really fun and unique photo opportunities. ✨🏙️ I also loved how there were different spaces and levels to explore, so it didn’t feel like you were simply going up to a viewpoint and leaving. Every room had something different to see, and the combination of art, mirrors, glass, and the NYC skyline made the whole experience feel surreal. I’d recommend going around sunset if you can — watching the city transform from daylight to sparkling night views was beautiful. Definitely wear comfortable shoes since you’ll be walking around quite a bit, and bring sunglasses because some of the mirrored spaces can get surprisingly bright! Overall, such a fun experience and one I’d definitely recommend if you’re visiting New York for the first time.

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!

Our recent visit to Summit in NYC was absolutely spectacular! The experience of seeing the breathtaking Manhattan skyline and iconic attractions from the 93rd floor was truly unforgettable. The stunning views, incredible design, and immersive experience make Summit a remarkable destination. Everything about the experience was beautifully curated and exceeded our expectations. A huge applause to the entire Summit team for creating such an amazing attraction!

Our New York trip was overall a wonderful experience, but Vanderbilt was definitely the highlight. It was so much fun, with breathtaking views of the Empire State Building and the rivers. The different interactive zones were incredibly creative and engaging, making the entire experience truly memorable. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend it!

I visited the Summit One Vanderbilt on Friday, August 14, 2026, and the experience was spectacularly unforgettable. The open-air 93rd-floor deck delivered an overwhelming awesome views of New York City, and even with the summer crowds, everything moved smoothly. The attending Guides were very kind, friendly, and professional.
