We enjoyed a lot. There were a lot of people and queues moved fast so it was very easy. There is plenty of time to take many photos and it was easy to make the kids smile.

Summit One Vanderbilt is nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we stepped in, the energy was electric. The line moved surprisingly fast, which was a great start to what turned out to be an unforgettable experience for both adults and kids. The views are absolutely jaw-dropping — a stunning panorama of NYC that feels like you’re floating above the city. But it’s not just about the view. The interactive art installations, mirrored rooms, and immersive exhibits make this much more than just an observation deck. It’s fun, futuristic, and super Instagram-worthy! Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or even solo, there’s something here for everyone. It was exciting, engaging, and truly a highlight of our trip. Every dollar spent felt worth it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and memorable New York adventure!

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.
