I walked right in at 8 am and passed through all of the areas with no waiting. The ticket was $40, not unreasonable for the attraction I've heard about since I was a kid. The elevator ride to the top was very creative. At the glass observation deck it was a little crowded, I'd hate to see it on a busy time. At the very top it was a good day to be out there, people were respectful and courteous, plenty of chance to get to the edge on each side and get pics. The staff were helpful and friendly.

We purchased a City Pass ticket which included admission to the Empire State Building. There are a few opportunity to take pictures at the bottom as well as a photo shoot by the Empire State Building people. There are history located throughout the 'path' to the elevators. There is a movie. Once at top, there are wonderful views. You can spend at least one hour at this attraction.

Did not book just walked in, was a quick process. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Enjoyed the history of the building, lots of pictures and information about the building. Ample space for viewings. Would recommend a visit beautiful views, photo opportunities of New York. Reasonable prices for the trip.
