I had never been to NYC, my friend who had been before had, and said theyd rather do this as theyd done empire state before so I agreed. Was very well pleased, the view you get is amazing. You get a great view of the empire state from here so I genuinely consider it better. We went just before sunset so was a little more expensive but it did mean we got the view in the light, sunset, and the dark, we were up here a while. Just note, it will get packed! People will push and shove their way through, and people will hog lookout points, some of them for hours. Regardless you will get a great view and have a great time.

It’s definitely a good idea to purchase tickets before your visit. You don’t have to wait as long then. Can recommend getting them via viator.

Timed ticket does not mean anything. Waited outside, on the sidewalk, for over an hour to get in the door. We arrived 15 minutes early. Website asks that you do not arrive before your scheduled time. When I called, while waiting in line, I was told that you must arrive very early. Bottom line..your ticket only admits you. Scheduled time means nothing. Empire State Building is a much better experience!
