Perched at 45 E 42nd St, New York, NY 10017, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is not just another observation deck; it’s a thrilling experience that elevates your view of the iconic New York City skyline.

Don’t miss the signature drink, the ‘Vanderbilt Spritz,’ a delightful mix of prosecco, elderflower, and fresh herbs that tantalizes the palate.

This place is so amazing! First time in NY, and my wife, son, and I were just at awe with this place. The scenery is so immaculate, scary, and thrilling. My son very much enjoyed his time here. My knees were shaking when stepping near the glass, but my son had no fear with being nose to the glass. Awesome views from all sides of the building. I wish we could've took our time, but we were on a time crunch, trying to cram as much of NY that we can with our limited visit in the city. Definitely recommend coming here.

This was worth every penny.

You get a great view of the Empire State Building too so the entire iconic skyline is captured in footage when you visit here.

They kindly let us rebook our slot on a day when it was clearer.

There’s a couple of floors full of interactive rooms, installations and plenty to see.

Also a rooftop bar and cafe with a balcony where you can go and view the skyline.

Everything was amazing and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Worth the visit if you’re in town!

Summit is a fantastic and entertaining destination for the whole family. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind experience—unlike anything you’ve seen before. I highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance. The best time to visit is just before sunset, so you can enjoy stunning views of the city in daylight, during sunset, and as the night lights come on.

We opted for a ticket that included a cocktail, and it was definitely worth it. Just keep in mind that it can get quite crowded, and the wait time may be up to an hour to get in.

We were in NY for 3 days and the last day we went to the summit and it was the best way to end our trip. Very highly recommended it was worth every penny. Do it! They say best time I to go is sunset time, but went at 9pm am what a view! So happy  with this visit. Again highly recommended to calculate this in you budget.

Skip a peak weekend time to save an hour in lines. Don't skip the sunglasses when they're offered! You may not need them later but better safe than sorry. Quite a few great photos taken by the staff and if you choose to purchase, you get them *all* in a digital photo package that costs as much as a single printed photo at any other tourist stop. My teen boys enjoyed the balloon room most. Definitely more than an observation deck, it's interactive and offers unique photo ops over 3 floors.
