This place was fantastic and the views were unbeatable. We did the 80th, 86th and 102nd floor and you could see great views from each of the floors. A most do when you’re in NYC.

Absolutely incredible, one of the best sights in NYC. The views from the top, especially the outside observatory deck was sensational.

Incredible views!
Loved learning about the history of the Empire State Building. We did the 86th and 102nd floor but really you only need to see the 86th floor unless you have a desperate urge to see things slightly smaller up higher. Decent gift shop and cafe too. The hot chocolate was delicious!

The Best Viewpoint
The Empire State Building is just such an iconic building you have to go and see every detail of it for yourself, no trip to New York is complete until you have been here. The sights from the top are something else

Perfect Proposal Experience at the Empire State Building
We had a truly wonderful evening at the Empire State Building for our proposal. Special thanks to Ahmed and Gordon for their warm support, and also to the kind lady at the ticket counter during the day who helped us with everything. A big thank you as well to the lovely lady on the 102nd floor who took such beautiful photos for us. Gordon’s tour was fun, engaging, and made the experience even more memorable. It was an unforgettable night and absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

Pre-parade sightseeing
I was the 2nd person in line when it opened that morning. Everything went smoothly and I got to enjoy the views very peacefully. Last time I was here was over 30 years ago but it felt like my first time.

Great NY experience
Great experience in an iconic building, staff and entry process were very slick and a consequence of tightened security. We had plenty of time to enjoy the Views and ever felt rushed to leave. I would recommend this to anyone visiting NY we really enjoyed it.

Beautiful views of the city
We enjoyed our quick visit here. We visited based mostly on the incredibly positive reviews on TripAdvisor. When we arrived (2pm on a Saturday), there was no line, and we walked right in. We were on the fence about buying tickets given the relatively steep price, but we eventually pulled the trigger for our family of 5 to go to the 86th floor. We skipped right through the displays on the lower floors and went straight up to the top. We spent about 30 minutes up top, and then left and came down. The views were fantastic, although I was surprised there wasn't more signage telling you what you were looking at from the various vantage points. I wouldn't say this is a must-do, but it was good for us since we were in New York City for a short period of time, and this gave us a great panoramic view of the city.

Impressive
It was well organized, all the employees were informative and helpful. The views are beautiful. We loved the Kingkong experience, the walking self-tour was most impressive

Dreamy
Amazing! Quiet, not at all crowded. A wonderful hour spent at the observatory. Recommend the early wake up for this. Plenty of space to move around and take so many pictures at every angle around the building.

Make sure you get your spot for sunset view early.
Brilliant experience. We booked the sunset experience and it was a little disappointing that we couldn't get great pictures because people were blocking the view. But everyone is there for the same reason so can't really complain. Staff were very polite.

Friendly but misguided external staff.
Worthwhile experience. Better admission management is required. Sign says door opens at 09:00 (our ticket time. so we jumped in the line). Were then kicked out of the queue because there is evidently an 8:30 ticket also available. So we then moved to the front of the 09:00 queue as instructed. Once again we were removed and told to go to the back of the queue. (Staffer was very proud of herself and thought she had fastened onto a serial queue jumper). The situation was embarrassing and unnecessary. After that the tour was great. We had plenty of time and were still ahead of the crowds. Smoke from Canadian bush fires spoilt the view slightly.
