Would be good if you could have seen out.

The experience was really good but sadly we had no visibility so could not see any of the city which is the reason we booked was to see New York from a height! I know it isn’t anyone’s fault about the mist but I do think you should be offered either your money back or another ticket to go another day when visibility is better. Came all the way from the uk to do this for my daughters birthday and couldn’t see a thing! So had to pay to go to the top of another building.

This is the worst experience I can ever get we were exactly by 10:29pm and they were doing very over by saying once dog leaves we will be closing, I think the manager and senior were doing some thing fraud because the dog left infront of us
