Granted, we went at a time when it was sparsely attended, which was a huge plus after seeing how much space they dedicated just to lines. The night weather was beautiful too, so the views of New York were outstanding. The elevator ride provides a bit of entertainment by using the ceiling to show a fun little video as you ride up, and they have a cheesy King Kong hand you can pose in, so y'know, they get points for trying. They don't miss a trick trying to sell you touristy things and it's too expensive, but we're glad we paid the money since in the end, we'll actually never miss the money, but we'll have the memories of being on top of one of the most iconic buildings in the world.
