Excellent reception, attention, ambience. Highly recommended to go up at night and enjoy. Super friendly guard at the check-in point. Facilities in perfect condition despite the age of the building. Unfortunately the fences limit visibility, but it is a must-see. And we were snowed in, which was amazing to see.

The views were spectacular. We timed our visit to be at sunset and the sunset was spectacular. The limited entries generated lines without long wait times.

I presented a ticket to the entry person. THey said I needed to go wait in line to validate the voucher and get a ticket. THis was half an hour extra time. My electronic ticket obtained from a third party (apparantly) said "ticket" on it. Everyone at the venue kept saying this is not a ticket. Very frustrating. You should make sure your patners who are authorized to sell vouchers that they need to make sure customers are aware that these are not tickets. Or allow the vouchers/ticket to be used for entry, like tickets bought at the venue. The whole idea of buying on line is to skip the line. This process was frustrating and should be addressed. THis has to be a common complaint. You can do better.
