It was my first time flying. This was on my bucket list. I flew with my son. It was a beautiful experience. The flight was very smooth. The pilot played us music that made the experience even better. The staff are very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend it.

Visiting One World Observatory was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped into the sleek and modern lobby, we knew we were in for something special. The elevator ride alone is incredible, as you watch the transformation of New York City’s skyline over the centuries in a matter of seconds. Once we reached the top, the 360-degree views were breathtaking — you can see the entire city, including iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and Brooklyn Bridge. The interactive displays and digital guides really added to the experience, giving us detailed insights into the buildings and neighborhoods we were looking at. There’s also a sense of awe knowing you're at the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, which is a remarkable feat in itself. The staff was friendly and efficient, and though it was busy, the observatory is spacious enough that it never felt crowded. We also enjoyed a snack at the café while soaking in the views, which made for a perfect break before heading back down. If you're in New York, this is an absolute must-do. It's not just about the views — it's about experiencing the heart and soul of the city from above. Highly recommend!

Wasn't overly impressed. The iPad add on was a waste of money. We were at the top of the original WTC and it was much more impressive.

Superb view! Plus: the Statue of Liberty! The ticket takes you directly to the top of the Wod, with no need to queue to exchange tickets.
