It’s a lot more entertaining in the evening, totally worth the money. Best place to take pictures in the city.

Security personnel (1 woman in particular) overly aggressive and definitely not cognisant that this is a tourist attraction with feet weary customers. Sat down briefly before entering in the wait line and was spoken to in a rude, aggressive and completely disproportionate manner. Disgraceful and shame on you summit for not considering that you have international visitors! Retraining in customer service a must.

Oh what a wonderful way to see the skyline of New York. Great place for an innovative experience. The experience will take to the 91st floor to the 93rd. Highly recommended

A very nice place to play. Just like entering the exotic space of the movie Inception, it is full of magical atmosphere, making people linger and forget to leave.

Very nice experience in spite of the rain and grey skies. Coffee at the rooftop. I was there at 9:30 and it was already busy.

Unique experience. Especially the affinity room which has so many silver coloured baloons. Efficient and friendly staff.

Total waste of money and time.
Firstly, although that was a natural condition but during our visit the area was covered with clouds and mist all around. There was no aerial view of the city and even The Empire State Building (which is close by) was not visible from the observation floors. As a tourist, we were looking for those spectacular views.
In such circumstances the tour should have been cancelled to give the tourists an option of reschedule or refund.
Also, we have done a few more high rise observations around the world and The Summit was a par below the standards compared to them.
Floor area with cloud art work is of no attraction to visitors.
Silver balloon area was like as if we were in a kid’s playing zone.
Our family pics shown at the end was too artistic to give a natural feel, so we didn’t buy any
