Don’t purchase the express pass

We purchased express passes to the 102 floor. They passes were not recognized and we waited with tons of people. Not sure if the staff doesn’t understand the express pass but it’s a rip off. Very disappointing.

Must do experience when in NY

Great day and great time to go at 10/10.15. We did not do 102nd floor. 80th and 86th were brilliant views anyway

A faire!

Nous sommes montés au 86e étage de l’Empire state building et c’était magique! Je precise que j’apprehendais cette visite car ayant le VERTIGE tres facilement. Là ça se fait progressivement et à l’intérieur d’abord, on a le temps de s’acclimater. Ensuite il est assez facile de sortir car nous pouvons rester le long des parois et s’adapter petit à petit. Les vues sont MAGNIFIQUES, nos photos geniales. Prévoir 1h30. Réservation faite par le pass go city. Si vous deviez monter sur un seul monument de New York faites celui-là!

2nd visit

We visited in 2019 and enjoyed it as much this time. Compared to other observatories The Empire State experience will still remain my favourite as there is lots to see and learn about the history.

Expensive..

We went 5pm December time so all lit up in the evening. Was expensive but so luxurious and lots of info. Very organised and worth it esp when you get to 102nd floor.. personally the price is expensive but you get make the most of the experience, in all it took about 2hrs from start to finish, even gift shops, can have pics with you and King Kong hand. And professional pic as soon as you walk in with empire state behind you. Would of been nice if you could get a cocktail whilst on 102nd floor Very awe inspiring when at the very top.

Im Herzen Manhattans

Wir haben dieses Mal das Kombinations Ticket inkl. den 102 Stock gebucht und wir waren absolut begeistert. Das Personal war überaus freundlich und die Geschichte sowie Animationen beim Aufgang waren atemberaubend. Die Aussicht war sensationell. Wir kommen wieder.

Iconic Experience

An amazing iconic experience. We paid extra for the express service to skip the lines and go to the 102nd floor and it was worth every penny. At 2pm the sun was low across the sky, which was crystal clear. The outdoor heaters kept us warm and for a Saturday it was not too busy at all. Munching on some nini doughnuts we spent a couole of hours looking across the five states and picking out all the New York spots below us. All the staff were first class, friendly, informative and nothing too much trouble.

Fun family adventure

Great fun experience for first time family visiting! Definitely recommend. Found cheaper tickets on trip advisor than any other place. Crazy how fast the elevator goes from 1-80 floors. Fun to see everything that looked so big from the street from so high up.

Go to the top! It’s worth it

This was amazing! We bought tickets 4:45pm to the 86th and the 102nd observation decks. By the time we went through the museum portion (very interesting) it was dark and we could see lights going in forever. Such beautiful views from all sides.

Väldigt häftig upplevelse!

Vi var där på kvällen när det var mörkt vilket gjorde upplevelsen ännu mer speciell. Det var väldigt vackert att se stadens alla ljus. Ett måste när man turistar i New York!

Great experience from he very beginning .. such a smiley welcome from the team, Great views over the city and so interesting how it was built and how quickly. No hard sell for the photos was a huge bonus too. Highly recommend this, so much better than One Summit ..

Wow, what an unforgettable experience!

Wow, what an unforgettable experience! We did the evening tour and Observation Deck at the Empire State Building, and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Learning about the rich history of this iconic building before heading up made the experience even more meaningful. Then, stepping out onto the observation deck and taking in those breathtaking views was pure magic. As we stood there, we all agreed that when you think of New York City, you think of the Empire State Building. Actually being up there, looking out over the entire city from above, was truly unforgettable. It was definitely chilly at the top, so if you're visiting in the winter, be sure to bundle up with extra layers. We loved every minute of it and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting NYC!
