I think the dark hallway leading to the elevator at the beginning of the tour is not necessary and does not add to the experience. I think there should be more signs explaining what you will be seeing and there should be a sign explaining the elevator to the upper deck.

I booked the SUMMIT One experience to celebrate my little sister’s birthday because she loves NYC, a good photo op and is always in for new experiences. And she absolutely loved it. ❤️ Although it was a pretty grey and rainy day and we barely saw the view, each room was full of surprises and so interactive, it felt worth the effort and money. It made our inner child super happy. 🥰 and when the clouds parted, we saw the 360 degree stunning view of the city, the iconic buildings, Hudson River and a while different view of the streets. I mean, it’s 91 floors high and you truly feel on top of the world! We had a 2 year old with us who was probably the youngest in the rooms and was having a blast. They have options to take photos and videos at various spots and it costs only $25 for the digital photos - so worth the money. It’s a unique and fun activity I would recommend for people of all ages when you’re in the city! 🗽 Cannot wait to go back on a sunny day! 🌞

Highlights

  • Immerse yourself in a multi-sensory art experience at every turn, curated by Kenzo Digital

  • Feel the bustle and hustle from 1,070 feet (325 meters) above the streets with Levitation, two transparent glass enclosed skyboxes
  • Choose to experience SUMMIT by day or by night each offering a unique visit

Full description

Visit SUMMIT, situated at the top of the iconic modern landmark One Vanderbilt. Discover a place which changes our relationship with cities, environment, and ourselves through immersive, multi-sensory experiences.


Head off the main concourse of Grand Central Terminal, to learn the story behind its creation. Learn all about an attraction designed with the intention of transcending everyday existence, and engage with space in a fascinating new way.

Begin with a sensory stimulating elevator ride to the 91st floor. Be transported into SUMMIT AIR, a new way to see and interact with space designed by Kenzo Digital. Layered with two floors of floor to ceiling mirrors, AIR offers a new perspective as the Manhattan skyline reflects all around you.

Next, test your limits at SUMMIT LEVITATION and enjoy the rush of stepping out over the city on two glass ledges suspended 1,063 feet above Madison Avenue. Watch your image float in the clouds across a multi-media screen and get in touch with your playful side in the silver balloon AFFINITY room.

Once you reach the 93rd floor, take in the sights and sounds of NYC from another vantage point on the outdoor observation deck (SUMMIT Ascent access is not included as this currently closed).

For a more intimate, adult-friendly evening experience, choose to visit SUMMIT during Air at Night. Guests can enjoy access to all areas of the attraction, an LED light show with accompanying vivacious music, and cocktails for purchase at the 93rd floor bar.
