WorldStridesApril 5, 2011Great daytime views of Central Park Beautiful night views of the Empire State Building
Daniel Marco FernandezNovember 15, 2016There is no need to pay for this. You can go to the 65 bar that is one floor below for free.
Melissa MJuly 14, 2012This is absolutely worth it. My boyfriend and I decided to skip a concert we were going to go to and went to do this instead. We do not regret it at all. Personally I think it's better at night.
wai-ling q.November 29, 2010I like the view more than the Empire State because its surrounded by heavy duty plexiglass or something rather than fence. Easier to take pics.
Never go to the Empire State Building. And don't get confused underneath when you exit!
Kevin RobbinsAugust 14, 2011Much faster to get in & out than Empire State Building & just as good a view
Jason GilesMarch 1, 2010I've been here 3 times now. Truly the best building view of the Big Apple in the City. Well worth the money.
Bruno CardosoSeptember 29, 2015Alright, people: take your pictures and step aside. You're not alone here.

Robert BlackettOctober 14, 2011wow just wow that amazing sight once you see all of manhattan from this view
David BatyApril 19, 2010Great views at night. Went around 11pm and there wasn't a line at all. Great picture taking opprotunities on the 70th story (no glass).
Trinsky HarknessNovember 28, 2011Get ready: reaching the top will take about 15 min because the security and logistics for guests.
Siobhan DillonJanuary 23, 2023It's a poor man's version of the Empire State Building. The view was meh, not as breathtaking as ESB, I probably wouldn't go back.

"Impressive collection, beautiful sculpture garden. All that you can hope for in a museum. The 5th floor cafe is pricey, but the food is very good and the view on the balcony is worth the price."
