The whole purchasing process and the options for the different attractions were excellent. Very clear, good prices, and a great variety of payment methods. It was very easy to just show the code for entry once we arrived at the Summit. It was also very kind of them to send us a reminder.

I loved seeing New York City lit up and feeling like I was floating high above, along with interacting with other people while playing with balloons. It's the best observation deck in NY!!!

The excitement of Summit SUMMIT One Vanderbilt begins long before you even step inside. As you approach and prepare to discover its iconic spaces, there’s an undeniable electricity in the air—the thrilling anticipation of knowing you’re about to experience something truly unique. Once inside, the golden light of sunset sets Manhattan ablaze, offering a breathtaking, weightless perspective of the city below. From up here, landmarks like the Empire State Building and the Art Deco spire of the Chrysler Building feel almost within reach, bathed in a warm glow that makes them look even more majestic. The infinite reflections in the mirror room and the surreal lightness of the balloon room turn the entire visit into a daydream. It’s a moment of pure magic that I would recommend to anyone visiting New York.

Fun experience! My daughter and I both are very scared of heights, but we were able to power through and get a great picture in the glass picture area. The area where you step out in it has a glass bottom top and sides. The staff was very nice. I didn't realize it, but as soon as I stepped out in the glass, I grabbed his arm for stability. He did not seem alarmed at all. I asked him if it was OK if I held onto him and he just chuckled and said of course. I wish I could remember his name. He was very kind. It was a fun experience.

My visit with Headout was special because everything was so easy and smooth from start to finish. I purchased my tickets for SUMMIT One Vanderbilt through Headout, and I was very happy with the whole experience. The booking process was simple, the tickets were easy to use, and everything went smoothly. I would definitely use Headout again for future experiences!

We got there early, made second in the line, service was expediated and soon we were up to enjoying the views. The whole experience was very interactive and we had a great time taking pictures. I'll bring my son on my next NYC trip!

Take NYC to new heights with this combo. While SUMMIT provides a stationary yet immersive experience with its art installations and architectural features, the helicopter tour offers a dynamic journey, capturing the city's expanse in motion.

Explore three futuristic floors at SUMMIT, including Air’s mirror illusions, Levitation’s glass ledges, and the soaring Ascent elevator.

Soar above Manhattan on a 15-min helicopter ride with live commentary by the pilot and sky-high views of popular NYC landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Central Park & the Empire State Building.

Both experiences are an absolute dream for photos. SUMMIT’s mirrored rooms and skyboxes make for surreal, artsy shots, while the helicopter ride gives you unbeatable aerial views of NYC from above.

A 5 year old's smile! Memories! Views! The silver balls were something else, floating overhead, under foot. Trying to keep her still for pictures. Impossible
