Empire State Building

The view from the top was breathtaking.
I liked all the information and photos and how it shows you the building being built
Good ticket booking
Justin_D, 21-12-2022
Straight forward booking and tickets! We got there 30 mins before our booking and was let in straight away. Definitely worth doing!
Truly iconic building
Paul_D, 20-12-2022
What an amazing building. We hadn't appreciated the back story to this iconic landmark and even though the weather spoiled the view, the magic of the Building itself still made the trip worthwhile
No Tour

Service provides tickets only. NO TOUR. Building was very impressive. view is spectacular. Wear warm clothing. It’s windy.
Great views. Get there early!
Stephanie_S, 21-12-2022
Great views! We lucked out on a clear day! Elevator ride was cool too! Would have given 5* if the express line was less confusing going up and not manned going down. Highly recommend going!
Spectacular views

No visit to New York would be complete without viewing Manhattan from up high. Skip the Line is a bit misleading because you will have to queue alongside everyone else, but it’s well organised and moves pretty quickly. There are plenty of interesting exhibits on the way to the 86th floor. I haven’t been up any of the other skyscrapers so cannot make any comparison butId happily recommend this to anybody
