So beautiful at night. Glad we did this in the evening! You could see the entire city and the lights were spectacular. Very romantic…. we saw people getting engaged. All of the kids ages 7 - 14 loved the experience both before riding the elevator up and once we got upstairs. The observation deck was very windy. Hold on to your hats and masks! So fun.

Complete scam. Had tickets for the nighttime viewing for 9-9:15pm. Showed up at 9:10 to see the doors locked and closed. Wouldn’t even explain to us why they closed. The man at the front desk wouldn’t even talk to us. I’ve lived by NYC my whole life and was excited to do this for the first time. Wasted $95 for nothing. Don’t respect this place one bit for doing this. Absolute scam, not going to try again.
