Pleasantly Surprised

My friend and I took a day trip to NYC, and this activity was a GREAT time! It is certainly an immersive experience. We spent hours at this place (unintentionally)! Great Panaramic views of the city and historic buildings. Great opportunities for some awesome pictures. To top it off, this venue offers a rooftop cafe/bar! The cocktails were delicious!

Summit experience

Great time, easy process. You are guided every step while you are there. Definitely worth the price. My family had a great time

Loved it

The Summit was a great experience a nice vibe. I think it's a better scene at night than in the day time. I loved it and would definitely do it again.

Bad experience

Very bad experience as we pay for the highest price and best package but the service was the same for all and not worth it at all

We went at night for 8pm....

We went at night for 8pm. It was very crowded with tourists and it took awhile to finally get in. However, once inside it was well worth the wait. Also, you could spend as much time at each location as you like. The night time views of NY were great so I would recommend going then. Also, you may want to try and be at the top right before sunset. Just remember, it took us awhile to get in.
