The journey up the tower was fab. The lift is like time capsule as the ceiling lights up and you feel like you are speeding up the lift shaft. The 360 views were amazing and well worth the visit. The tower and it's architecture are amazing too.

It is amazing. Don't miss the chance to view all around New York City and New Jersey. The views are great!! We used your New York City Pass and just went up immediately without the wait.

Even though it was a little rainy and cloudy, still some incredible sights from the top of the rock. We were lucky that it wasn't very busy-much less waiting for other top attractions and the story about how the place was built is a treat for history buffs.

Went at night to make it different to Empire State, and in many ways it was a better experience for it. With the added bonus that you get views of Empire State lit up in colour. Worth the money, and a $5 photo opportunity much cheaper than they charge anywhere else.

this has been a great experience for us. We arrived late and managed to see the city in full light, catch the sunset and watch the city light at night. 3 observation decks allow different vistas, the most beautiful ones are of central park and the nearby Empire state building.
