Perfection!

I surprised my girlfriend with the night visit to the Summit, and it was her favorite experience during our trip through the United States. The views are spectacular and we had an amazing time in the balloon room. So many photo opportunities! High recommendations!

Beyond expectations!

Best view ever! I was kind of afraid of the glass elevator but it was actually pretty cool! I spent almost the entire morning there as it was so incredible. Loved the skybox and bravo to Union Square events! 10/10 experience!

FAQ – SUMMIT One Vanderbilt Tickets

Can I buy tickets at the door of SUMMIT One Vanderbilt?

Yes, there is a welcome desk on site where visitors can purchase the experience tickets. However, please keep in mind that your preferred timeslot may sell out due to high demand. Visiting SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is a popular attraction among tourists and locals alike, meaning that most (if not all) timeslots for the ongoing day are completely booked. We highly recommend pre-booking your tickets online to reserve the timeslot that best suits your wishes and enjoy a seamless experience.

Is SUMMIT One Vanderbilt worth it?

Definitely, experience at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is one of the most innovative and immersive observation decks in New York City.

Step out into the transparent skyboxes 1,063 feet above Madison Avenue and take in the magical views of NYC.

Is Summit One better day or night?

Even though visiting SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is magical both day and night, we highly recommend going during the daytime if it's your first time at the observation deck in NYC. During the day, you get clearer views of Manhattan's layout and iconic landmarks such as the Empire State Building and One World Observatory. If you've already enjoyed the NYC skyline views up high, opt for a night visit to enjoy a quiet and romantic experience.

NYC is known for its abundant options to choose from. We highly recommend enjoying a Statue of Liberty Ticket to admire the views and book Tickets to Ellis Island with the ferry ride included. Visit Times Square, wander through Central Park, and discover something playful with Ice Cream Museum NYC Tickets.
