View was amazing, felt organised chaos.

Lovely view, snowed as well which made it more magical, however seemed very disorganised and overcrowded, definitely worth seeing.

Sunset is sensational!

4:15 gave us the most incredible view of the sunset! What a memorable tour! That timing is worth the extra cost.

Spectacular…On top of the world.

Give yourself plenty of time to experience all of the views. The employees are very helpful and informative.

An epic experience. A must at night! Fantastic exhibits inside! Just amazing! Loved the additional exhibits for the 100th anniversary of the Rockettes!

VIP Premium Experience Tour. Seeing it all with new eyes: includes 86th, 102nd and many historical insights

We visited the Empire State Building the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and we did the VIP Premium Experience Tour. From entering the lobby, to the warm welcome on every floor and hallway, we had such a wonderful time, and it was made special by our tour guide, Gerard. He had such a passion for the history of the building -- the marble details on the walls, the rivets in the support beams, up to the ceiling artwork. I could go on, but I think if you're considering the guided tour, you should try it. My sister, aunt and I had all visited the Empire State Building decades ago when only the 86th floor was open. And this trip was really special for us, because it wasn't just a trip up and a trip down, it was a getting to know the when and why of the building. My 4 year old son enjoyed King Kong and really got on well with Gerard, who had so much patience with the different energies in the group. Thank you for an amazing time! We hope to make it back again. -Cindy

Don’t visit on Thanksgiving Day!

My family had a great visit. The timing of going Thanksgiving Day was not a good idea as it was packed. Our original tickets were a couple of days prior to that but had to be changed due to the weather.

A must see in nyc, although this is self guided

Self guided tour- I think probably you can buy the same ticket at the empire state itself without coming through an agent- the only thing I’d advise is going early, it got very busy as we were leaving ( around 10.30am)- took about an hour an a half- we went to the 102nd floor which gave us breathtaking views- we did have a lovely clear day though.

Amazing skyline

Amazing skyline views from the observation deck. Wait times can be long, but skip-the-line tickets help. Prices are high yet worth it. Overall, a classic New York experience with unforgettable panoramas.

The experience was good;...

The experience was good; I loved seeing the city at night. Learning about the history of the building, the construction, and the history of its builders was fascinating.

Highly Recommended

This building is amazing. If you love movies related to it, especially King Kong, you will really enjoy this experience. They have added new features and continue to update and add more. I love it!

A must do when in NYC 🙌🏽🤩

Was a great self-guided experience to go up the Empire State Building with my Dad. The walk thru the museum was really cool & the incredible views. It’s a must do when in NYC 🙌🏽

Bella esperienza

Ho fatto questa esperienza martedì 26/11, cercando di prenotare in tempo utile per godere del tramonto in quota. Vi lascio qualche info utile per non sbagliare, come è capitato a me. Ho prenotato per le ore 16:00 ma è troppo tardi. Ora che si fa la coda all'ingresso, poi vi fanno entrare, un percorso con immagini e modellini, una videoproiezione, alla fine siamo arrivati in quota che era buio...quindi consiglio che vi do: se volete vedere il tramonto prenotate la visita alle 15:00, una volta che siete su potete prendervi anche un po' di tempo in più. per il resto vista spettacolare, da rimanere a bocca aperta.

L'Empire

Da molti considerato il vero cuore di New York. Noi che ci eravamo già saliti nel nostro precedente viaggio a New York questa volta ci siamo limitati ad osservarla dall’esterno, anche perché i prezzi attuali non invitano a bissare. Ma per chi arriva in città per la prima volta è un must davvero imperdibile.

Empire state building

Fast pass was an expense which was not needed. No one told us whete to go and ended up in the regular queue which to be fair was relatively steady.
