The Empire State Building is truly the visit we enjoyed the most! Fast tracked straight to the front and to the top with the most amazing view! The historical reenactment of its construction with giant screens everywhere, bronze workers in action, the video on the elevator's ceiling, everything is designed to immerse us realistically into this incredible building process. The King Kong on the 86th floor is breathtaking, and the view of the city is fantastic.
Excellent, didn’t have to wait long at the security and entrance line. The convenience of purchasing tickets online and presenting the tickets using my mobile device for admission was great. Initially there was fog because we went in the morning but there wasn’t a time limit with our ticket, so we could go back later in the day when there were clear skies. Later in the day the view was gorgeous. The staff was very attentive and professional.
