“it's was my first time visiting after 26 years, the last time I was stood in that spot was on the 110th floor of the north tower aged 16. it was an extremely emotional visit for me and the memorial is extremely well done and raw. it was a beautiful tribute to all those innocent people who sadly lost their lives and the heros from that day.”
Skip to the 86th-floor 360-degree views, upgrade to the 102nd floor, and enjoy the Empire State Building museum plus Art Deco stops.
“Been living in NYC but never went to the observatory. It is a very nice experience for someone visiting NYC or even living here. Views from the top are really nice and you can take a lot of pictures. On the way to the observatory, there are information about Hollywood movies shot in the building. The King Kong experience they’ve created is icing on the cake. One can take amazing videos or pictures there. The facilities do not rush you through the experience. Overall 5/5.”

“The views from the top floor, the exposition and the building. Staff was fantastic”

“My experience was amazing. My family and I really enjoyed it. The staff are really great. The only part that was un enjoyable was when we were in the level with the balls there was a lot of young children running around kicking them and popping them and parents did nothing. Not sure if there’s any rules on this by the summit, however only having one staff member monitoring this floor is quite difficult, especially on a Saturday night. Outside of that our experience at the summit was so amazing. I would recommend this for anyone visiting NYC.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
