It was so easy to use, you literally just find the attractions you want to see and head to the entrance with your QR code ticket pass. Even those where you have to book, the experience was easy to complete through the app. Will recommend.

Such a neat experience to see the city from the sky! It was hazy the afternoon we went so our visibility was a bit limited, but it was still great! The hot chocolate with rum in the "weather room" was yum!

Everything was amazing: the view around the Rockefeller Center, the up and down with the elevators ... it was simple overwhelming!

Once I got there the views were amazing and it was such a clear day which I admit I wasn't really expecting. Would have perhaps needed a bit of snow on the rooftops to get perhaps more impressive photos. I am going to try and get at least one of the photos framed or made into canvas pictures.
