The ambiance is a fundamental point to appreciate the incredible view of New York City. The visuals along with the sun setting behind the buildings and the ambiance of being in a private party make the environment unique and people feel like they are in an exclusive and private place for their enjoyment.

We loved the dinosaur section and the insectarium. **what's the point of buying online tickets in advance if yku have to do a line up once on site? You should copy the system at the MET. We went the following day and it was A++
