We have actually booked the sunset viewing and of course it gets super busy around this time but it’s truly worth it. Unlike OWTC, this building has much more character and the outdoor viewing is truly something else. Try to book the first viewing as the crowds get bit too much at certain times. They also offer a dinner package with a restaurant downstairs and I think the food was fabulous

I had the best experience here with my family! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The staff is incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home. Kevin, in particular, was a pleasant surprise—he was not only sweet but also very helpful throughout our visit. It was such a joy exploring the building and interacting with such great people. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to have a wonderful time with loved ones!

The Empire State Building is a must-visit! The views from the top are breathtaking, showcasing NYC in all its glory. Well-organized with helpful staff, and the historical exhibits add depth to the experience. Go early or late to avoid crowds. A classic NYC landmark worth every moment!
