Amazing view over the city. Loved hanging out on the bench and seeing the Empire State Building 😍 At 8 am it is not crowded at all.

Really enjoy the views. Excellent services up in the cafe / bar. Staff really welcoming and friendly It was my nephew's first time in NYC the theatre at the start was interesting.

We spent more time queueing to get in and get out than actually experiencing the views. Whilst the views are brilliant, of the 1 hour and 15 minutes we were there, we only spent 5 mins actually enjoying them. I had come a couple of years ago and the experience was brilliant, but this was totally different - it now feels like the only way to actually make the visit worth it is to buy all the extras. For the amount we paid, this does not feel worth it. We also bought tickets for dusk and spent so long queueing to get in that it was already dark. Overall, this was a huge disappointment.

Amazing experience! Such a pleasure to visit. The view is amazing and it was a great suprise that there was a theatre in the beginning. You get a view from all 4 angles.

Really stunning views - especially at sunset. Well worth the visit. The only improvements would be the selection of food and beverages at the bar, better professional photos and improved exit system (took quite a while to get back down).

A great experience with very little to comment on. Does exactly what is says on the tin. It is not super crowded so plenty of opportunity to look at all views, enjoy a drink in the bar and we even had the opportunity to have a photo with Santa Claus who was there for a photo session!

The views were great of course but not the best due to the glass panels being set back slightly from the edges of the building. Probably the best view of the ESB. Getting in was easy, no queuing really. The history part was interesting about how it was conceived and built. The whole plaza below is cool with art deco styling everywhere you look. And the tree of course.
