We visited here during our stay. The journey up to the observation deck in the lift was great but I was too late with my camera. The ceiling in the lift projects the Empire State Building being built as you journey up in the lift. The view from the top was fantastic and the viewers were free. You have a professional photo taken whilst in the queue for $28 which is a lovely keepsake.
