This is always a must when in New York City with what I would say one of the best views of the city. My only complaint is it is always over crowded at peak times so hard to get a good view. I’d go earlier in the day or afternoon to get the perfect view with a smaller amount of people. However this is New York City so is anywhere not crowded! lol

DANGER! After booking, it's best to use the VOUCHER (!) straight away to book a fixed time! We didn't know that, but we came to the entrance on the day expecting to be able to just get in line. But we were then informed that there were no more time slots for the day. So we only had the option of using our voucher on another day, which was out of the question for us. We got our money back through customer support (after discussion), but then we had to buy an express ticket that was twice as expensive to get up. It's best to check directly at Top of the Rocks to see which slots are free and book there directly, the slots are the only ones that can be used anyway. The view: Incredibly beautiful and really worthwhile.

The experience itself was very nice, but buying the ticket with time flexibility was a bad choice: at 11:00 we found ourselves queuing for over an hour to fix the time of the visit, which at that time point could be from 8.35pm that same day or for the following day. Excessive price, if compared to the many high quality experiences that New York offers at a decidedly lower cost (MET and Museum of Natural History, for example), but in the end enjoying the night view of Manhattan repaid us for the wait.
