The excitement of Summit SUMMIT One Vanderbilt begins long before you even step inside. As you approach and prepare to discover its iconic spaces, there’s an undeniable electricity in the air—the thrilling anticipation of knowing you’re about to experience something truly unique. Once inside, the golden light of sunset sets Manhattan ablaze, offering a breathtaking, weightless perspective of the city below. From up here, landmarks like the Empire State Building and the Art Deco spire of the Chrysler Building feel almost within reach, bathed in a warm glow that makes them look even more majestic. The infinite reflections in the mirror room and the surreal lightness of the balloon room turn the entire visit into a daydream. It’s a moment of pure magic that I would recommend to anyone visiting New York.

Fun experience! My daughter and I both are very scared of heights, but we were able to power through and get a great picture in the glass picture area. The area where you step out in it has a glass bottom top and sides. The staff was very nice. I didn't realize it, but as soon as I stepped out in the glass, I grabbed his arm for stability. He did not seem alarmed at all. I asked him if it was OK if I held onto him and he just chuckled and said of course. I wish I could remember his name. He was very kind. It was a fun experience.

My visit with Headout was special because everything was so easy and smooth from start to finish. I purchased my tickets for SUMMIT One Vanderbilt through Headout, and I was very happy with the whole experience. The booking process was simple, the tickets were easy to use, and everything went smoothly. I would definitely use Headout again for future experiences!

A great experience, there are really beautiful views of New York, and it's also a lot of fun. Highly recommended. For me, it's number one among the observation decks.

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt was definitely one of the highlights of my New York trip! The experience is unlike a typical observation deck — from the moment you step inside, everything feels immersive, modern, and beautifully designed. The views of Manhattan are absolutely incredible, especially with the floor-to-ceiling glass windows giving you a completely unobstructed view of the city. The mirrored rooms were my favorite part, with reflections of the skyline creating some really fun and unique photo opportunities. ✨🏙️ I also loved how there were different spaces and levels to explore, so it didn’t feel like you were simply going up to a viewpoint and leaving. Every room had something different to see, and the combination of art, mirrors, glass, and the NYC skyline made the whole experience feel surreal. I’d recommend going around sunset if you can — watching the city transform from daylight to sparkling night views was beautiful. Definitely wear comfortable shoes since you’ll be walking around quite a bit, and bring sunglasses because some of the mirrored spaces can get surprisingly bright! Overall, such a fun experience and one I’d definitely recommend if you’re visiting New York for the first time.

Our recent visit to Summit in NYC was absolutely spectacular! The experience of seeing the breathtaking Manhattan skyline and iconic attractions from the 93rd floor was truly unforgettable. The stunning views, incredible design, and immersive experience make Summit a remarkable destination. Everything about the experience was beautifully curated and exceeded our expectations. A huge applause to the entire Summit team for creating such an amazing attraction!

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.
