If you're choosing a tour, I highly recommend the Grand Central Terminal + SUMMIT Vanderbilt. My guide, Lynda, was fantastic—she showed hidden corners of Grand Central and shared stories about its history and architecture. You don't just see the station; you truly feel its unique atmosphere, and you'll want to come back to explore even more on your own. Combining the Grand Central tour with SUMMIT One Vanderbilt feels like traveling through two different eras in just two hours—from the timeless elegance of this historic landmark to the stunning modern architecture and breathtaking views of NY. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend it!

Immerse yourself in New York's most thrilling views from SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, located at the top of the iconic One Vanderbilt.

Experience art like never before through Air by Kenzo Digital, where reflections of the Manhattan skyline engage your senses in a transformative way.

Step out into Levitation, two transparent skyboxes suspended 1,100 feet above the streets, creating a thrilling interaction with the cityscape.

Dive into Yayoi Kusama’s Cloud, a visual immersion that shifts your perception and transcends the ordinary.

Indulge in a food and cocktail experience at Après cafe and eatery while enjoying the spectacular views of the city below.

If you're short on time, choose the skip-the-line ticket for faster entry. For a more memorable visit, consider the night experience. You can also enhance your trip by combining your observation deck visit with a guided tour of other top Midtown Manhattan attractions or the Secrets of Grand Central Station tour.

Booking tickets through Headout was fast and very simple. We bought out tickets at the last minute as we stood outside of the building and we're able to bypass the lines at the kiosks inside. Summit One was a fun and thrilling experience, especially the elevator ride. It was so smooth we couldn't believe we went up >90 floors that quickly. The whole experience was so well run and each room/floor had a different experience that kept you guessing what was next. I would definitely recommend going to Summit One if you want something that is unique and interactive for the whole family with amazing views. I would also recommend Headout for a stress free ticket buying website to speed up the entry process.

The Summit One Vanderbilt was a great experience. We were able to start waiting in line 30 minutes before our time slot and the process to get inside was very straight forward. I went around 10pm and the view at night eas amazing. I'd highly recommend booking this, especially in the evening!

I buy our tickets, when we was exactly in from of the doors of the Vanderbilt, like 5 minutes before we got in. Because prices are better than the once offer by then. But anyway the tickets was available inmediately a paid for it, giving to us the oportunity to enter inmediately.

Go beyond the ordinary at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, where immersive art installations turn panoramic views into unforgettable moments of self-reflection and connection.

Getting started

Your journey begins high above the city at the top of One Vanderbilt. After a seamless arrival, step into SUMMIT and prepare to experience the skyline in ways you never imagined.

What to expect

Begin your visit inside Air by Kenzo Digital, a multi-sensory mirrored space where the skyline becomes more than a backdrop, it becomes part of the art. Reflections stretch infinitely in all directions, challenging your perception of space, time, and self.

This isn’t just an observation deck, it’s a living, breathing fusion of design and cityscape that transforms how you see New York and how you see yourself within it.

Features:

Discover Air, a mirrored installation that reimagines the skyline as a surreal, interactive environment.

Feel a deeper connection to NYC as art and architecture merge in a space designed to elevate the senses.

Capture unforgettable visuals where your reflection and the city blur into one expansive canvas.

Immerse yourself in an experience that encourages introspection, curiosity, and awe.

Wrapping up

Step outside to take in open-air views from SUMMIT’s outdoor terrace, or head to Après, the sky-high lounge where handcrafted cocktails and skyline views offer a serene finish. Whether you're here for the art, the views, or the thrill, SUMMIT redefines what it means to experience New York City from above.
