Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Iconic, breathtaking views – a must-do at least once Visiting the Empire State Building was a truly memorable experience. The tickets were a bit pricey — around ₱8,000 for two people, which is approximately $140 USD — but I’d say it was worth it, especially if it’s your first time in New York. Pros: • Smooth check-in process – Everything was organized, and the flow from entry to the observatory was seamless. • We got tickets that gave us access to all floors, including the 102nd floor, which offers incredible panoramic views. • The Manhattan skyline from the top is just stunning – in my opinion, this is one of the best spots to take it all in. • Seeing New York City at night from that height was magical – it really is the epitome of city lights. • Although it was quite windy at the top, the experience was still absolutely worth it. This is the kind of experience you only need once in your life, but it’s a bucket-list must when in NYC. Highly recommended.
It’s very convenient to buy here! Just arrive at the site five minutes before the appointment time. He goes in in stages, so there is no point in going too early. You only need klook's QRcode to enter❗No need to exchange tickets or anything like that. After entering, you will first go through security check, just like going through customs, and then the ticket will be inspected (swipe klook barcode). After entering, you will take a photo first, and at the end of the trip you can decide whether to buy it ($30~$50 depends on personal needs). Next, it’s like visiting a museum to see the history of the Empire State Building, and you can take photos of many of them! After finishing, you will take the elevator to the 80th floor. You can see out of the window here. After finishing, you will go up to the 86th floor, which is the outdoor observation deck! ! ! It's really great, but be careful to keep warm if it's cold and windy. It's really beautiful. The whole trip is highly recommended, you must come to New York👍
The tickets are easy to use, just give the QR code to the on-site staff to scan and enter. It is highly recommended to enter when the sun goes down. This time, we will enter in the winter time of January. The sun goes down around 16:00-17:00. You can take pictures of the sunset during the day and at night in one go. It’s very worth it!
Affordable Trip to the Empire State Building, one of tallest building names in american history. It is also spring time meaning much cooler wind in the 86th floor open observation deck!
This was a fun experience, the museum was very informative and I liked the videos that played as you traveled in the elevator to the top. The views were amazing and the elevator was very smooth.
Visiting the Empire State Building was an unforgettable experience. The towering structure itself is a marvel, and stepping into the historic lobby instantly transports you back in time. The ride up to the 86th-floor observatory was smooth and filled with anticipation. Once at the top, the panoramic views of New York City were breathtaking, offering a 360-degree vista of the skyline. I could see iconic landmarks like Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, and the Brooklyn Bridge. The combination of history, architecture, and stunning views made this visit truly exceptional, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting NYC.
seamless via klook. highly recommend. Ofcourse, Empire State Building is the most iconic place in the world. Must visit. Do check the weather forecast before visiting. If it is rainy or cloudy, you are going to miss the view.
It was fun being here in one of the most iconic spots in NYC - The Empire State building comprising of 103 floors. We had the opportunity to learn the history of the said building and explored what the spot has to offer.
