Definitely an awesome view of the city. We have been to top of the rock many times and that’s great for seeing near Central Park and around that area. But this was great to be able to see all the way to New Jersey. I highly recommend paying the $15 rental fee for the iPad that will then describe all of the buildings, parks, etc. I knew many of the buildings, but this was very helpful to me. We paid the extra fee to skip the line and it turned out that since it was on a Wednesday at 9 AM, we really did not need to pay that fee. There were only six people in line when we got there at 8:55.
