No visibility and unable to rebook as was catching a flight home that day so was basically forced to visit and would rather have just walked away if I knew what I was about to experience aside from no view. YES you showed us a photo of the visibility being completely white on an iPad but how does that help people who can’t actually rebook??? It’s just a kick in the teeth really. Staff made it even more upsetting as they were so miserable (even more than the weather) and everyone seemed like they hated their job. Nobody explained why they were taking a photo of you or what it was for and what room you were going into next as if you should assume and have been before! If the staff actually spoke it would have made not seeing any view a little better. It would have been nice if they were more welcoming considering how dull the experience was and a refund should be considered for visitors who really can’t rebook it they show you proof of flights departing that day or the next! After all…most organised people want to pre-book to fit it into a tight, busy schedule for your first time visiting the city?! Taking photos of people when there was no view just shows it’s all for the money than making their visitors happy. And then still trying to sell the photos to visitors to visitors when they should be given these for free if there is 0 visibility!! Some empathy for visitors who are on their holiday wouldn’t go a miss and not told “it’s on you!” By a staff member for pre-booking like it was out fault! Thank you for ruining our last morning in the city! Stay clear of this attraction and head to other observation deck like Top Of The Rock and One World Observatory who actually have staff who know what customer service is! What an absolute waste of almost $160!! Refunds should definitely be added to your T&C’s for 0% visibility as the experience is just not an experience whatsoever with no view!

I purchased my ticket online before going. It was a pretty fun experience. Great views. The elevator was cool. Paying $15 for my photos was not worth it, the photos are too cheesy. I'd say it was a bit pricey for what it was but I don't regret going.

Booked months ago for our trip to NYC day we scheduled to go weather visibility was poor, was told to complete form for another day which we did. Asked the girl how it works she said you come back at the day and time you want as this would be before there 48hr window response to chosen time. I said to the girl the internet is showing full for the time and date, she said ignore that we accommodate you has guests booked, asked do we need to come earlier to sort told no just come at the time. We rescheduled our days came back at the time to be told sorry no more spaces we will have to refund. This was the main attraction we wanted to do. It would of been helpful if the staff had issued the tickets on the day for the rescheduled times or asked you to come back first thing to sort out. Very disappointed
