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.

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.

Summit is a fantastic experience and definitely one of our NY highlights! We chose the one clear sunny day to visit in the middle of a very wet and cloudy week so it was very busy and it did take a while to get through security etc, but the views are beyond breathtaking. What makes Summit so special though is that it isn't just about the views, it's about the other interactions- glass mirrors, room full of balloons etc.... it is just wonderful and the photo opportunities are boundless. We took our time going through it so we spent a good 2 hours there and loved every minute!

I had a fantastic experience at the Summit Vanderbilt. The panoramic 360-degree view of New York, including a close-up of the Empire State Building, was truly impressive. The innovative full mirror design added an engaging and enjoyable element to the visit. The balloon room was perfect for capturing memorable photos, making it a great spot for kids too. And to top it all off, the transparent floor experience was a thrilling addition. You could easily spend 2-3 hours here, and it's definitely worth both your time and money.

Amazing!! We booked the edge the night before and it wasn’t half the experience we got at Summit One. There was so many different levels to take photos which meant you weren’t as crammed or waiting ages to take photos. Recommend the bar at the top to take in the views.
