-
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.

SoloVerified bookingLast week5/5I visited the Summit One Vanderbilt on Friday, August 14, 2026, and the experience was spectacularly unforgettable. The open-air 93rd-floor deck delivered an overwhelming awesome views of New York City, and even with the summer crowds, everything moved smoothly. The attending Guides were very kind, friendly, and professional.RRosario A
