First of all, everything is so very organized. All of the "ushers" were friendly and knowledgeable. I felt welcome and could've stayed all day. What an amazing experience. I loved the room with the sounds of the construction going on and the movie clips. And then the view from the top!!! I was only in NYC for one night. The Empire State Building was the perfect tour to get the whole picture. Thank you for a well ran, comfortable place to visit.

We were staying just 5 minutes walking time from our Hotel. We arrived earlier than our allotted time. Killed the extra time checking out souvenir shops in and around the area. We were let in a few minutes before our time slot. Everyone working there was friendly. We had a great time!

We expected a guide during our visit to give a history of the building and other information relating to it. We had no tour guide, so we just read some of the information that was on display. I think a guide and one that answerd any queries as best as they could would have made our visit more enjoyable.
