Beautiful views of the city
We enjoyed our quick visit here. We visited based mostly on the incredibly positive reviews on TripAdvisor. When we arrived (2pm on a Saturday), there was no line, and we walked right in. We were on the fence about buying tickets given the relatively steep price, but we eventually pulled the trigger for our family of 5 to go to the 86th floor. We skipped right through the displays on the lower floors and went straight up to the top. We spent about 30 minutes up top, and then left and came down. The views were fantastic, although I was surprised there wasn't more signage telling you what you were looking at from the various vantage points. I wouldn't say this is a must-do, but it was good for us since we were in New York City for a short period of time, and this gave us a great panoramic view of the city.

Great view at night. Very interesting museum area documenting the history of Empire State Building. Would recommend this tour.

Make sure you get your spot for sunset view early.
Brilliant experience. We booked the sunset experience and it was a little disappointing that we couldn't get great pictures because people were blocking the view. But everyone is there for the same reason so can't really complain. Staff were very polite.

Friendly but misguided external staff.
Worthwhile experience. Better admission management is required. Sign says door opens at 09:00 (our ticket time. so we jumped in the line). Were then kicked out of the queue because there is evidently an 8:30 ticket also available. So we then moved to the front of the 09:00 queue as instructed. Once again we were removed and told to go to the back of the queue. (Staffer was very proud of herself and thought she had fastened onto a serial queue jumper). The situation was embarrassing and unnecessary. After that the tour was great. We had plenty of time and were still ahead of the crowds. Smoke from Canadian bush fires spoilt the view slightly.

Impressive
It was well organized, all the employees were informative and helpful. The views are beautiful. We loved the Kingkong experience, the walking self-tour was most impressive

Dreamy
Amazing! Quiet, not at all crowded. A wonderful hour spent at the observatory. Recommend the early wake up for this. Plenty of space to move around and take so many pictures at every angle around the building.

View from the Empire state building
We went to see the view from the 86th floor. We had booked tickets in advance. There was no wait to get inside. We enjoyed the short museum tour about the history of the Empire state building, as well as how it haa been potrayed in popular culture. The view was spectacular - good for taking fotos because there is not glass infront. The only minus about our visit was that we could not find a place where to have a drink

Awesome tour!
Awesome experience! We did the 86th floor general admission, family of four with two teen boys. This was a highlight for all of us!! Easy to download the tickets from app.

Wow!
Great experience at the top of the empire state building what a view!!! Was amazing to see all the buildings from such a height. Did miss going through the front foyer as that was glamorous a few years back.

Well worth the visit
Well worth the visit. Online booking made the whole process much faster than our last visit 20 years ago which involved about two hours of queues. A little sad you no longer go in the main entrance but I guess it helps with queue management. My son is a huge fan of the Percy Jackson books so wore his Camp Half blood T-shirt for the visit. He was delighted when a member of staff asked him if he was going all the way to the 600th floor. His experience was later enhanced when walking along 34th St a group of older teens also wearing their CHB shirts gave him a wave and said hello

Great experience for all ages—History and beauty all in one!
Fantastic experience! The Empire State Bulding offers priceless view of New York and surrounding Burroughs. I’m afraid of heights and also have a bad ankle and can’t walk well—and everything was manageable and beautiful! To avoids long lines, we loved the express option to 86th & 102nd floors!

Vue exceptionnelle sur Manhattan depuis l'Empire State Building !
Fin de journée, heure idéale pour le couché de soleil sur New York. La vue sur Manhattan la nuit est magique et inoubliable. A ne pas rater !

Immer wieder
Ich war jetzt zum 3x auf dem Empire State Building und es hat für mich immer noch einen besonderen Reiz. Auch meiner Familie hat es sehr gut gefallen.

Di notte, è una tappa obbligatoria
Ci sono tanti osservatori anche nuovi, ma l'Empire, la vista che offre di notte per la sua posizione che permette di vedere sia le Avenues che l'Hudson è davvero qualcosa da non perdere. Non troppo affolato, tramonto a parte, offre spazi ampi. La rete ha maglie molto larghe, potete infilare o anche appoggiare l'obiettivo della fotocamera per avere più stabilità nelle foto notture. Tappa obbligata

Great experience, but a lower cost would be more inclusive.
Fantastic experience for my teenager. The exhibits are interesting and informative. The staff were helpful and polite. My only comments are that the cost is very high and I would like to see guides in each viewing area to talk about the buildings we were seeing. The online information (scanner) was inaccessible.

Vistas de ensueño
Excelente mirador para observar la ciudad en toda su magníficiencia. Lo mejor es el piso 102. Vale la pena pagar el precio extra. (Muy elevado por cierto)
