Soar above the city that never sleeps with the ultimate skyline adventure! Located at the iconic One Vanderbilt, the NYC Skyline Thrill: SUMMIT Experience isn’t just an observation deck—it’s a multi-sensory journey that takes New York to new heights (literally and figuratively). Step into a world of sky-high thrills and artistic wonder, where immersive installations, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and levitating glass sky boxes put you in the clouds—quite literally. See Manhattan’s legendary skyline from 1,100 feet above ground as you float over the city with 360° panoramic views of the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Central Park, and beyond.

Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, a photo junkie, or just in love with New York, the SUMMIT Experience delivers a mind-blowing blend of technology, art, and unbeatable views. It’s not just sightseeing—it’s skyline soul-searching.

This place was good for photos and great views of the city. The hype leading up to entering the exhibit was oversold. I was expecting more.

Summit One - Experience

Summit One was not what I expected it was Awesome. We arrived at our allotted time it took 30 minutes of standing in line, having your picture taken, putting on shoe booties and sunglasses. It was all worth it once you get on that elevator and fly up to the 91st floor in like 3 minutes you step off and your in another world. Not only are you looking at art you become the art. Don't skip this it's worth it.

Nice experience

It was a nice one-time experience. I wouldn’t go again but it is something that you should do at least once if you are in NYC.

Long queues, but worth it.

Be prepared to queue for 30-40 minutes. It was worth it though: we had a spectacular view over Manhattan and the staff was very friendly.

Spectacular views, immersive experience

Wow this building has incredible views of NYC all around which is great for taking photos and finding sites. The mirrored ceilings and floors create fascinating illusions of a grander space also fun for great pics. The experience included a balloon room (favorite for the kids), your face in the clouds and special viewing areas in unique spaces. Having been to many of the tall buildings in NYC, this is now my favorite. Hope to take more family to see the stunning Summit!
