The Summit One Vanderbilt was a great experience. We were able to start waiting in line 30 minutes before our time slot and the process to get inside was very straight forward. I went around 10pm and the view at night eas amazing. I'd highly recommend booking this, especially in the evening!

Booking tickets through Headout was fast and very simple. We bought out tickets at the last minute as we stood outside of the building and we're able to bypass the lines at the kiosks inside. Summit One was a fun and thrilling experience, especially the elevator ride. It was so smooth we couldn't believe we went up >90 floors that quickly. The whole experience was so well run and each room/floor had a different experience that kept you guessing what was next. I would definitely recommend going to Summit One if you want something that is unique and interactive for the whole family with amazing views. I would also recommend Headout for a stress free ticket buying website to speed up the entry process.

My visit to Summit One Vanderbilt was one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to New York City. From the moment I entered the building, everything felt smooth and well organized. The staff guided visitors efficiently, making the entry process quick and stress-free. As I made my way through the elevators, the excitement continued to build, knowing that I was about to see one of the most famous views in New York.

Take NYC to new heights with this combo. While SUMMIT provides a stationary yet immersive experience with its art installations and architectural features, the helicopter tour offers a dynamic journey, capturing the city's expanse in motion.

Explore three futuristic floors at SUMMIT, including Air’s mirror illusions, Levitation’s glass ledges, and the soaring Ascent elevator.

Soar above Manhattan on a 15-min helicopter ride with live commentary by the pilot and sky-high views of popular NYC landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Central Park & the Empire State Building.

Both experiences are an absolute dream for photos. SUMMIT’s mirrored rooms and skyboxes make for surreal, artsy shots, while the helicopter ride gives you unbeatable aerial views of NYC from above.

I buy our tickets, when we was exactly in from of the doors of the Vanderbilt, like 5 minutes before we got in. Because prices are better than the once offer by then. But anyway the tickets was available inmediately a paid for it, giving to us the oportunity to enter inmediately.
