Nice little walkthrough at the beginning of the construction and history of the building which i thought was a nice touch. Staff were so helpful and the system of getting people up and down from the top is very efficient. I am scared of heights so wasn’t up there long but overall had a great experience!
excellent, got to see that 2 celebrities I like have done this too
