“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.”

Stand 1100 feet above Manhattan at Edge, step on a glass floor, lean on angled walls, and watch Hudson Yards come alive.

“This was my first trip to the Grand Canyon. Edward was the tour guide and Tony was our driver. They were very knowledgeable about the areas that we visited and explained in detail exactly what to expect. They made sure that everyone knew the schedule and did their best to maximize the trip. I would highly recommend this experience and if you get Edward for a guide, be prepared for a very enjoyable experience.”
