When buying the tickets it was not clear if the general entrance to the 86th floor includes skipping the queues. That's why I bought the tickets. I clarify for who is in the same doubts as me: The general entrance that goes up to the 86th floor DOES NOT skip the queues Once queues are made for security, tickets can be bought there without any queue. We feel a little scammed by your trip advisor service Very bad on your part does not clarify these points

Wow. What an experience. We had the VIP tickets, which let’s you jump long lines. Now, it was pretty packed on that day, but you really didn’t need to buy the expensive VIP tickets. We went around 6:45 pm there we wanted to see the sunset, which was amazing. Once on top of the observatory, you get a great view and pictures is One World, Chrysler Building, Flatrion and Uptown and Downtown. Sad that you cannot get a good pic from the Central Park, but of course you can jump into a chopper $$$! Trip is worth every penny- negative that you do not have the opportunity to sit someplace to relax legs or something...
