It was a really great experience—especially the flexible hours, which let us go whenever we wanted. It's top-notch and highly recommended for saving money on things to do in NYC.

When we arrived at the scheduled time, we were told that visibility was poor due to low clouds, and I was offered the option to reschedule the visit. The observation deck is lower than the newer ones in New York, such as The Edge or Summit, but the views of the Empire State Building and Central Park are unbeatable. They offer the option of riding a rotating outdoor elevator, as well as taking photos on a beam that recreates the iconic image of the workers who built the building.

The process was efficient and fast. The view from the top was astonishing and worth the money. The gift shop and the cafe were also a good edition to the experience.

The line to catch the elevator moved quickly and was well managed. The three observation floors offer a ton. The views outside cover every direction. The deck is protected by glass, which shields you a little from the wind. The beam experience was worth it! You may enjoy sit at the cafe inside or visit the souvenir shop. There is so much to enjoy! The building has multiple restaurants in the basement, too! A wonderful option all around!

Above the heartbeat of New York, on steel and sky at the Top of the Rock, we found a moment that belonged only to us. Sitting on The Beam, hand in hand with my wife, suspended between earth and dreams, love felt fearless, timeless, and infinite. These photos hold a memory unforgettable, unrepeatable, forever ours.

    Good experience, great 360 views of the city without obstacles, glass or fence. Disappointing 90+ minutes wait for descent

    The access is difficult, but the views are magnificent. A feast for the eyes, especially at sunset.
