View from the Empire state building

We went to see the view from the 86th floor. We had booked tickets in advance. There was no wait to get inside. We enjoyed the short museum tour about the history of the Empire state building, as well as how it haa been potrayed in popular culture. The view was spectacular - good for taking fotos because there is not glass infront. The only minus about our visit was that we could not find a place where to have a drink

Wow!

Great experience at the top of the empire state building what a view!!! Was amazing to see all the buildings from such a height. Did miss going through the front foyer as that was glamorous a few years back.

Awesome tour!

Awesome experience! We did the 86th floor general admission, family of four with two teen boys. This was a highlight for all of us!! Easy to download the tickets from app.

Well worth the visit

Well worth the visit. Online booking made the whole process much faster than our last visit 20 years ago which involved about two hours of queues. A little sad you no longer go in the main entrance but I guess it helps with queue management. My son is a huge fan of the Percy Jackson books so wore his Camp Half blood T-shirt for the visit. He was delighted when a member of staff asked him if he was going all the way to the 600th floor. His experience was later enhanced when walking along 34th St a group of older teens also wearing their CHB shirts gave him a wave and said hello

Great experience for all ages—History and beauty all in one!

Fantastic experience! The Empire State Bulding offers priceless view of New York and surrounding Burroughs. I’m afraid of heights and also have a bad ankle and can’t walk well—and everything was manageable and beautiful! To avoids long lines, we loved the express option to 86th & 102nd floors!

Vue exceptionnelle sur Manhattan depuis l'Empire State Building !

Fin de journée, heure idéale pour le couché de soleil sur New York. La vue sur Manhattan la nuit est magique et inoubliable. A ne pas rater !

Immer wieder

Ich war jetzt zum 3x auf dem Empire State Building und es hat für mich immer noch einen besonderen Reiz. Auch meiner Familie hat es sehr gut gefallen.

Di notte, è una tappa obbligatoria

Ci sono tanti osservatori anche nuovi, ma l'Empire, la vista che offre di notte per la sua posizione che permette di vedere sia le Avenues che l'Hudson è davvero qualcosa da non perdere. Non troppo affolato, tramonto a parte, offre spazi ampi. La rete ha maglie molto larghe, potete infilare o anche appoggiare l'obiettivo della fotocamera per avere più stabilità nelle foto notture. Tappa obbligata

Great experience, but a lower cost would be more inclusive.

Fantastic experience for my teenager. The exhibits are interesting and informative. The staff were helpful and polite. My only comments are that the cost is very high and I would like to see guides in each viewing area to talk about the buildings we were seeing. The online information (scanner) was inaccessible.

Vistas de ensueño

Excelente mirador para observar la ciudad en toda su magníficiencia. Lo mejor es el piso 102. Vale la pena pagar el precio extra. (Muy elevado por cierto)

We went at sunset, and it...

We went at sunset, and it did not disappoint! We also had zero line, which I’ve never seen here before. It was truly a NY moment!

EMPIRE STATE

Qui scopriamo l’acqua calda… si tratta di uno dei simboli della città più iconica della terra.. se sei in vacanza a New York devi per forza toccare il cielo con un dito.. certo il prezzo è alto .. io e mio figlio 14enne abbiamo pagato 150 dollari per salire fino al 102^ piano ma credetemi … NE È VALSA LA PENA

Breathtaking views on a clear night

The exhibits leading up to the elevator to the 86th floor were informative and entertaining. Once outside on the 86th floor, the urban landscape is beautiful in every direction, from the East River to the Hudson. The 102nd floor observation area is indoors only and glass enclosed. The view is even better but lacks the presence of the outdoor space below. Highly recommended!

The Best of the Big Apple

This was far and away the best observation platform experience we have ever done (including The View From The Shard - which I worked with). The interpretation, customer experience and visitor services were second to none.
