The Best Views - A Must

Great experience at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt! We went around 7pm and the whole process (from the queue through security and the pre-experience areas) took about 30 minutes. Everything was very efficient and well organised. The views were incredible, and the entire experience was professionally laid out. I especially liked being able to explore at your own pace without feeling rushed. Definitely worth a visit!
