Sunset and snow

Buy the express pass, it’s definitely worth the price. No waiting in lines, express elevator to the observation deck. We had a blast up there. We went up at 3:30 and caught a spectacular sunset and …it snowed 🥰🥰🥰 staff were professional, kind, patient and knowledgeable. The lady at the observation deck at the top was tremendous. I’m terrified of heights but she chatted to me and put me totally at ease. What an asset to the organization she is.

Empire state building

We turned up early and they were extremely good about letting us in early without any fuss. We were also inspired to watch King Kong afterwards

New Year Vacation

This experience was breathtaking. Such a wonderful view. It was getting cloudy by the time we were leaving, and there wasn't much of a crowed either. I really liked the movie collage room. get to see all the movies filmed here. No big lines to get in. If you are looking for a fun trip I would recommend coming here to the empire. ticket prices aren't bad compared to some of the places we visited. Thanks to Mel and Chris V. of the gift shop for making this a pleasant trip. Alot of splendid souvenirs to get. It was fun to learn some interesting facts not just about this building, but also about the city. All the staff were polite and nice, but these guys were the only ones I was able to talk to.

Great Icon

We visited on a really clear day, it was pure luck because it was a one day visit. I do suggest to try to see the observation deck during clear weather. This was a bucket list thing for me and well worth the pricey ticket. The staff was nice and the food offerings are actually pretty good. The view is incredible, don't miss it.

Breathtaking views and a wonderful ride.

The Empire State Building museum and observation deck was great. Having grown up in the area, I had never been to the top of the building. The view was amazing. The heat lamps were perfect for the chilly night air. The mini-fresh cooked doughnuts hit the spot. The experience was built to feel like and amusement park ride, with lines and LED screens in the elevator to educated and entertain. Like any amusement park ride there is a gift shop upon exiting. There are a lot of great options available for purchase. The staff was very helpful. A young lady named Charisma helped me checkout and ensured that I snow globes that I purchased would travel safely. If your ever get the chance to take this adventure, Take it

Add this to your list!

Absolutely worth it. The tour isn’t so long that you lose interest but you see so much in that time. Everything was beautiful, the views, the employees, the memorabilia. My daughter and I both enjoyed ourselves.

Um das maravilhas da engenharia de fato

Considerado uma das maravilhas da engenharia, realmente é impressionanda. Traz uma vista incrível da cidade e você pode escolher pagar mais barato e ver de andares "mais baixos" ou pagar um ticket mais caro e subir no andar mais alto. A maioria dos tickets te dá direito a duas entradas, sendo uma de dia e outra de noite, para que você ver a cidade sob a luz do sol e da lua. O Empire States fica perto do korean Town, então recomendo ir próximo a hora do almoço e depois aproveitar pra comer nas redondezas.
