Tip: Hold your baby securely; collapse the stroller before entering skyboxes.
Enjoy the Open-Air Terrace:

Tip: Bring a portable changing mat; ask staff for privacy if needed.

We don’t usually do overpriced touristy things in new cities but this is a can’t miss! The views from the 91-93 floors are unmatched and the installations are beautiful! The lines seem long but once you get elevatored up, the crowds thin as you make your way through. Highly recommend this one! We went during the day but it would be beautiful at night too!

Took my mom here for her birthday last weekend. She loves exploring different things in the city and this was on her bucket list. We had a wonderful time. It was a cloudy rainy day when we got there amd the visibility sucked. Luckily about 10 mins later around 1:45 p.m, the fog started to lift and we were able to get some fantastic views. We spent about 2 hrs here and enjoyed every bit of it.

An amazing experience. We had the greatest time, it’s so fun. Take your time while walking through. You are in no rush. Enjoy, take pictures, be playful and happy. All three floors are fantastic, first floor is the one with all the mirrors, second floor has the platinum balloons and the third has the food and drinks. The cocktails are nicely loaded, grab one and hang out on the top floor soaking i...

Absolutely spectacular. We recommend visiting in the evening to see the city lights. We were planning to visit the Empire State building, but this building included the Empire State Building in our view. The experience was awesome. From the moment we walked into the elevator, through the entrance walkway, onto to the first observation floor 91. Calming audio was playing, very celestial. And the vi...
Visit in spring or fall for mild weather and smaller crowds. Summer’s bright sun can intensify reflections, and winter skies are clear but bring warm layers.
