Worth a trip

Visited the location and was able to check in alittle early which was nice in the morning. The organised queues for the elevators were quick. Some history items to see on the way with some photo opportunities including king kong which had a slight queue as expected. At the top it was busy but was able to get photos along with an opportunity with a colourful set big ballons with Empire State Building written on them. With the window views I would recommend walking down to the next lot of windows as everyone goes to the first lot you see. Nice souvenir shop as you leave. Worth a trip but go early.

El edificio mas representativo de NY!!

Sin duda es uno de los principales íconos de NY, vale la pena entrar y ver la ciudad desde su observatorio, adicionalmente, el recorrido es muy entretenido.

Top Of The World!!!!!

Trip was fun. Everyone enjoyed visiting. Staff were very nice and friendly. Views were great. There were a lot of people, and seemed a little crowded but still worth the trip. Gift shop was also great, a lot of fun stuff the kids wanted to bring home. LOL. Just wanted to thank Kelici and Chris in the gift shop for their great service and especially to Chris for helping us find some nice places to eat at late in the evening. Not many places in the city like to help visitors the city, and its nice to see some people do care. thanks again Empire.

Excellent historical experience

Wonderful experience, well worth the price of admission. The museum offered a full historical perspective, and the observation deck is incredible. Loved it. Wonderful service from the staff.

Stunning views

This was so much better than anticipated. Loved the 'museum' part with the history and interactive displays. Lots of photo opportunities. The views from the 80th floor were incredible. The windows were spotless so able to take super photos. Views from 86th floor were just as amazing.

Gehört zu einem NY Besuch

Was natürlich im Big Apple nicht fehlen darf ist ein Besuch des Empire State Building. Sie machen eine gute Einführung und zeigen auch verschiedenste Filmsequenzen. Da erinnert man sich unweigerlich an die Filme. Es war ein ebenso tolles wie eindrückliches Erlebnis. Dies würde ich bei einem weiteren Besuch nochmals machen.

Iconic Views and Unmatched Atmosphere!

Absolutely incredible—truly a highlight of my trip to New York City! From the moment you enter, you feel the rich history and grandeur of this iconic landmark. The Art Deco design throughout the building adds a timeless charm that sets the tone for the experience. The views from the 86th-floor observation deck are nothing short of breathtaking. You get a full panoramic view of the NYC skyline, and on a clear day, you can see for miles. The staff were helpful, the lines moved efficiently, and the interactive exhibits along the way added a fun, educational element. An absolute must-see. Worth every minute!

Incredible experience made possible by smiles from Devin

Such an incredible experience, made possible by manager Devin. He was amazing and very personable. A smile goes a long way on a tourist attraction, and he's the best! I highly recommend this iconic tour. No visit to NYC is complete without a trip to the top of the Empire State Building. Thank you Devin!

Prezzo spropositato

Se costasse 10€ ancora ancora ma onestamente non vale proprio il prezzo. Bel panorama ma tutto qui perché il resto è solo finalizzato a venderti un pacchetto foto.

Wunderbarer Ausblick über die Stadt

Wir hatten vorab im Internet einen Zeitslot gebucht und kamen zu unserer Einlasszeit an. Der Einlass ging einfach über die Bühne. Die Angestellten waren alles ehr hilfsbereit und wiesen einen den richtigen Weg. Auf dem Weg zum Fahrstuhl kommt man an Ausstellungstücken vorbei, die einen die Geschichte vom Bau des Empire State Building erklärt, so wie die Erwähnung des Gebäudes in Literatur, Fernsehen und Film. Schön sind auch die Ausstellungstücke, wo man schöne Bilder von sich machen kann. Nach 2 Fahrstuhlfahrten in den 80. bzw. 86. Stock hat man einen unglaublichen Rundblick auf die Stadt. Im 80. Stock aus den Fenstern und im 86. Stock dann ohne Glas. Insgesamt ein schönes Erlebnis, mit knapp $55 pro Erwachsenen aber auch kein günstiges Vergnügen.

Red carpet waste of money

Red carpet, express not needed if you honestly. There was no line do I paid extra for no reason. Waste of money 😩 just do regular admission if you go before lunch.

Great service

Worked well. I will definitely use Travel Advisor for future attraction bookings. As this is one of the main attractions in NYC, we wanted to make sure all was in order.
