EMPIRE POINT OF VIEW

We were a group of 5 with VIP tickets for a Monday morning visit. Earlier that morning, we received a message saying due to rainy conditions, viewing at the ESB would be limited and we were welcome to reschedule for free. We did so for the next afternoon at 2:30. When we arrived, we showed our tickets at the door and were told to follow the red carpet since we had VIP tickets. This allowed us to skip ALL lines. The VIP and regular lines snaked around through several floors. Periodically, we would have to scan our tickets so the gate would open for us. Others tried to follow but their tickets didn’t allow it. We were about to go directly to the front of the line at the pictures and all elevators. We have no idea how long the regular line was. The first elevator went up to the 80th floor. Again, we followed the red carpet and were allowed into our own elevator car to the 86th floor. The day was bright and clear and the views were amazing!!! We looked around the 86th floor and took pictures both inside and out. Outside was very windy and cold. Once finished, we headed to the elevator to the 102nd floor which was located in a small round room in the spire. You had to have special tickets for this. The 102nd floor was a small round room full of ceiling to floor windows. We had exceptional views all over Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs and states. Since it was sunny, it got pretty warm up there. You are allowed to stay as long as you like. When we were finished, we took the elevator back down to the 86th, 80th, then ground floors, stopping in the giftshop on the way out. All 5 of us had an amazing time visiting the iconic building.

Fabulous. If your in New York Empire State Building is an absolute must. Any problems ask for Sharon B.

We pre booked our tickets from Scotland. When we arrrived for our tour 1st April all our tickets had separate times and dates on them and would not work. Contacted provider and they were not helpful at all. HOWEVER. Sharon B at the ticket office was absolutely amazing she helped us with everything contacted her boss and managed to get it all sorted we had THE BEST time ever at Empire State Building and New York. Also the man who was emptying bins was amazing to and helped us too. Thank you Sharon you were amazing and so was the man. Savannah from Scotland

Still the best views!!

Excellent sunset views of NYC. Still the best and original. Much prefer it to The Edge and Summit as it’s extremely nostalgic.

Top of the Rock is a better view.

It’s the iconic thing to do and the displays and experience are great but if you only do one observation deck, do Top of the Rock which in my opinion has better views than this one.

Brilliant views

We booked skip the line 86th and 102nd floors, the views from all 3 floors are amazing, the weather was warm and dry when we went so u could see for miles xxxx skip the line was a waste of money even at 430 on a Saturday afternoon there was no line but I would imagine maybe different in the summer

Paguei um valor alto para assistir ao por do sol mas ninguem disse que tinha que chegar 1h antes para conseguir ver o por do sol. o elevador avariou do 80 para o 86 ainda tivemos que subir de escadas. Nao compensa paga rmais é um roubo.
