So glad we went!!

This is not the same experience as it was 20 years ago-it is so much better! I loved the updated experience in the elevator, the 83rd floor, and the 86th floor!!

Behind the Scenes Details

We did the Premium Experience with Gerard, and it was a fantastic tour! Gerard shared many important details on the ESB history, construction, workers, and competition. It was a fabulous talk that took us behind the scenes and highlighted architectural details throughout the building. With only 4 people in our group, we were able to ask a lot of questions. Totally worth the money for this private tour that takes you to the 86th and 102nd floor.

Great view!

Spectacular view but quite pricey as everything here in new york. We went all the way to the top. Down there were some exhibition, which we didnt find too interesting

History lesson

I appreciated the history lesson and as you get in there's a mini museum, it depicts how they built it almost a century ago with the technology of those days. Amazing, we saw how an elevator was working those days. And a few more artifacts. Totally recommend it

Fun day for all ages!

Family day, from 11-year-old to 79-year-old, it exceeded our expectations! I thought we were just getting an elevator and ride up and take the view, but there is so much more going on. Several stops walking through sort of interactive, galleries and history. The facility is clean as a whistle and beautifully maintained. Very very pleasantly surprised!

Beautiful view

We did the general admission ticket, and the view was fantastic. The museum that you walk through to get to the viewing platform is interesting and the staff is really fantastic. You can really tell they love their jobs. Be sure to get reservations, especially on the weekends as it's super busy. Super easy to get reservations online.

Up in the heavens on the 102nd storey.

Outtathisworld. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the ESB and seeing Manhattan and the surrounding areas of New York and New Jersey from on high. Sadly King Kong and Fay Wray weren't at home which was disappointing. I think I caught a glimpse of him marauding through the jungle in Borneo as we were that high up we could see to the other side of the world.

A Must See!!

A Must see when visiting NYC right? Well we tried when we last came 15 years ago, but weather was too poor to see anything. This time, however much different. The queue was big, even with pre booked tickets at 10AM, but staff was friendly and informative and queues quickly disappeared. All the way up there is LCD screens with information and history, and plenty of photo opportunities. At the top, the views are stunning. we have been to taller buildings but nothing compares to the skyline of NYC. The whole experience was about 1 hour and well worth it. It was stunning!

Hermosa vista al atardecer y gran experiencia desde la exposición hasta la tienda

Han hecho de la entrada una gran experiencia, desde la exposición de fotos y videos hasta la historia del edificio y de lo icónico que es el edificio en el cine y la televisión. 100% recomiendo ir al atardecer. GRAN SERVICIO de Kalicia y Bibi en la tienda de recuerdos, todo el staff fue muy amable conmigo ya que uso silla de ruedas

Ein Muss

Ein Muss für alle New York Besucher. Wir hatten Vorab reserviert, somit gab es keine Warteschlange und der Besuch war ohne Stress durchführbar. Die Aussicht war unbeschreiblich. Wir waren eher gegen Abend am Empire State Building.

Great views of NY

Very easy for us as our tour was at 5:30. We saw later queues for later visits. Great views from the top and better views from floor 86.
