Whether you’re a tourist or a New Yorker you have to check this iconic site out! The view is amazing!! The little exhibit along the way up is wonderfully curated together. The history of this place and how it was built is a marvel in itself! The staff was welcoming and inviting. Right now is a great time for the locals. There is very little visitors right now! I highly recommend this place without reservations!!!

Midtown was desolate, but that’s something to experience now. We stood in a line on 34th street and we were the only thing happening. We got tickets to the 82nd and 102nd decks. You pass through the 80th floor on the way to 82, which is cool - more windows. More views. The tickets were timed for entry. We waited outside first and they scanned our temp before going in. Things most fast. Went through security. Took our time on the decks. Everyone was friendly. Everything was clean. Social distancing worked. There was hand sanitizer wherever you wanted it.On a clear day, you can see everything, but you wouldn’t know it was real except for the the moving buses and cars. The renovated 102nd floor was quite nice, with windows down to your feet. The fresh air on the 82nd floor deck was invigorating. I thought of the end of Sleepless in Seattle. It’s amazing they’re still building skyscrapers. Cranes basically at eye level. My almost 7-year old son was thrilled. Surreal as hell. A memory etched in place, take someone you love.

I grew up in the area, work in this building and love art deco architecture, yet never did the tour. Finally made it to the top and it was such a great experience! We went on a Sunday afternoon and with travel restrictions in place, there were virtually no tourists, lines etc. It was like some VIP experience. The walk through leading up to the top was great and super interesting. The views from the top are unbeatable. This is a must do NYC experience.

Had such an amazing time. It just reopened. There were 0 lines. We took a ton of pics which normally would not have been possible because of the crowd. There was 0 people. Perfect proposal setting

This is an iconic building in NYC. The Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world for so many years. So many iconic events and things have happened in NYC and this place definitely holds a toast to that. The view from the top is amazing however the amenities are a bit dated since this is a near 100 year old building! However this definitely a building to visit in NYC!

Sleepless In Seattle, An Affair To Remember, King Kong and Love Affair are some small examples of Hollywood using this iconic building as one of their set location. I highly recommend anyone whenever they visit NYC to pay a visit to the Empire State Building, this being a building built during the great depression years only adds to its mystic as for a long time this was the tallest building in the world, a title thats so hard to maintain. The materials used, the design of the structure and grandeur of its shear presence show that no modern skyscraper can ever match with this grand old structure. Like the Statue of Liberty, Grand Central Station and Freedom Tower the ESB is one of the landmark sites of NYC. The view from the top is amazing as you truly get to see the Manhattan Island so well.

The Empire State Building, built in 1931, is “The World’s Most Famous Building!”It stands 1454 feet above Midtown Manhattan. There are exhibits to see throughout the building, as well as observatories on the 86th and 102nd floors.(I took the photos I added, from the 102nd story, when my family and I visited NYC, July 2019.)It is a must see if you go to NYC.I am handicap and I could’ve never done and been able to see all I did without a very sweet lady that worked there & took me in a wheelchair everywhere I wanted to go, along with my family! They have very kind and knowledgeable staff. The gift shop had something for everyone; in every price range.I definitely recommend going here!

Empire State Building is one of the best place to go , city view from the top is really amazing, but tickets are really expensive ,

This building is my first place i have to go.You can see all of buildings of NYC. You will be impressed by the structure of NYC.

Wanted to visit the empire state building since I was a kid! Loved it. You’ve to get your camera ready for an amazing day. You get a BEAUTIFUL view of manhattan

Very good view of the city. Very nice staff and fair prices. Not recommended in fog and rain. But if you havent been to the building, you should do it.

We went around 8pm. No crowds no wait. It was very nice and enjoyable

Beautiful place to view to admire NYC. The best thing to do is to purchase your tickets online, that way you can skip the waiting lines inside, which can be quite long sometimes. It can get a bit crowded sometimes, specially at peak hours, so be sure to plan ahead. The view is great. 100% worth it!

Many people want to see and visit a building which is still even taller than others .It is also the famous building in the world .Its age is more than 100 years old but still brand new .It attracts tourists from many countries who have different cultures , backgrounds and use different languages .They were overjoyed when they saw this building but they didnt find the KingKong appeared in the movie .Many tourists have already visited here by cars and air plans.Long time ago when there were no passenger plans some tourists lived in a long distance came here by boat to see this building because it was at that time not only the tallest but also gave them a proud of living in America .After this building in competition many much taller buildings were built in the world.

Has to be visited when in New York, but be prepared to queue. We waited for a good 45 minutes just to get inside, then it took another half an hour to get up. The queueing system wasnt brilliant either, and none of the security people in charge of it were very friendly. Beautiful inside, and the lift up is fantastic, very quick. Brilliant views across the city once on the observation deck. Also the obligatory opportunity to purchase a photo of yourself superimposed onto a background, at eye watering prices. Plenty of toilets dotted around. Ive been up here twice, first time around 3 men used the sinks in the mens room as urinals, which was odd and meant I couldnt wash my hands. If you come in the morning or at night, youll probably wait longer than in the afternoon. The views arent as good as at the Rockefeller center.

No lines because of covid. City needs new leadership but Empire was nice. No long lines and could see everything.

Very quick to go up, was there in 5 mins. I bought tickets on site. No time limit to stay up there. I stayed for 2-3 hours. They have some decks that you can sit on.Download their app, it has description of important buildings near by.Totally worth the visit and money.

It’s was an amazing sight to see will surely recommend this place for everyone... got some epic pictures

Great view of the city. Wasnt crowded and the staff took proper procedures seriously. Would recommend to anyone

$42 basic price is the ticket I bought and it gets you to the spots you need to see. Great views looking all around. Make sure you follow all the signs because of Covid. I went during the day and it was good then I went during the sunset and waited for darkness. Truly never a bad time to visit. You can stay up there as long as you like, you just need to go back inside and keep looping around the top. Must visit when coming to NYC.

Its name is derived from Empire State, the nickname of the state of New York. The building has a roof height of 1,250 feet (380 m) and stands a total of 1,454 feet (443.2 m) tall, including its antenna. The Empire State Building stood as the worlds tallest building until the construction of the World Trade Center in 1970; following its collapse in 2001, the Empire State Building was again the citys tallest skyscraper until 2012. As of 2020, the building is the seventh-tallest building in New York City, the ninth-tallest completed skyscraper in the United States, the 48th-tallest in the world, and the fifth-tallest freestanding structure in the Americas.

There was no line at all and we moved pretty fast all the way up, than the time stopped for me... I got mesmerized of NYC beauty... there is no better place to observe the entire city than the Empire State building.

Went there two years ago, the night view was amazing at the top of the building. The building is well-designed and very old style! Hope to go there one day after the COVID19!

Very well lay out depicting the history and glory of such an iconic building. Fitting enough, the workers from security check in to the elevator attendees to the photo shop area.... really, really professional mentality and mindset. GOD, LOVED THE UNIFORMS!!!!. Classic!! Also appreciated the crowd wasnt at all huge with this covid pandemic... no one on top of each other. Thank you so much for the opportunity to visit.

Visited 08-26-20. Simply put, a wonderful experience. Visited the main deck on 86th floor. Almost no one there due to COVID. Arrived as sun setting, watched the lights of NYC turn on, with our kids, as it became dark. Amazing. Facilities are immaculately clean. Staff are incredible, kind, courteous, gracious, respectful. Small museum is great experience for those with a technical interest in construction and engineering of the building. Kids loved the small King Kong exhibit. A bit expensive, but well worth it, it is a unique experience.

Awsome place to visit. Beautiful experience! Great for all ages.

Awesome! Loved it!I guess the pictures speak for themselves =)

My parents surprised my husband and I with tickets to the 86th floor.The overall experience was very good. There was no line. I was informed that they opened the observatory at the end of July. As you walk through, there are so many details, informative plaques, theatrics, and history regarding the building, which I particularly liked.After going through security (if they confiscate anything you may have an opportunity to take it back at the end of the tour at the gift shop) you take an elevator to the 80th floor, then to the 86th. For an additional 30 dollars, you can go to floor 102. From the top of the observatory, you circle around and then exit through the gift shop. Regular priced tickets are around 45, the reason for my review. I just dont like the price, but I will say that everything was really well done and it was a very nice experience.They do check your temperature at the door. We purchased our tickets in person on the second floor.I would recommend the tour at least once in your life.

A beautiful place to see Tribute in Light! I had a lovely time on the evening of September 11th. Although I have been to the building for meetings, this was my first time on the 86th Floor.A must-see whether you’re a local or just visiting.

Sleepless In Seattle, An Affair To Remember, King Kong and Love Affair are some small examples of Hollywood using this iconic building as one of their set location. I highly recommend anyone whenever they visit NYC to pay a visit to the Empire State Building, this being a building built during the great depression years only adds to its mystic as for a long time this was the tallest building in the world, a title thats so hard to maintain.

I had the opportunity to go on a private VIP tour of the Empire State Building (hosted) at 10AM before the building opens to the public.We got really lucky and the weather was amazing & the sky was clear. There are safety measures in place ~ high tech machines in the lobby take your contactless temperature. Elevators indicate where to stand to maintain distance & visitors are limited at this time.First we went to the 86th floor outdoor observatory. Here we could see everything from Freedom Tower to the Statue of Liberty. The views are absolutely stunning. From there we went up the cool glass elevator 18 floors to 102 which is a fairly new 360 degree indoor observation deck with floor to ceiling windows. Theres also stairs to go up to the highest outdoor landing that is reserved for special photographers and celeb guests.If you havent been now is the perfect time for NYers to enjoy a crowdless visit. Iconic is an understatement.

Classic building from the city of NY. It is a skyscraper located at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. The name derives from the nickname of the State of New York. It was the tallest building in the world for forty years, from its completion in 1931 until 1971, the year the construction of the North Tower of the World Trade Center was completed. Currently, the Empire State is the seventh tallest building in New York. Including the antenna, its height is 1,453 feet (443 m).The Empire State Building has been named by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. The building and its interior are listed as monuments by the New York Commission for the Preservation of Historic Monuments, and confirmed by the New York City Board of Estimation. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1986.

Stunning views of NYC as you would expect. Security although a bit of a pain is well organised and makes you feel safe. Go at night to witness the dazzling city lights! Not sure why, but my husband witnessed 2 men taking a pee in the wash hand basin in the mens toilets! Tip: Buy a New York pass to save money on popular attractions.

We always love a visit to the top of the building, but going during Covid was an awesome experience... we had the entire observation deck to ourselves for more than 30 minutes... no other tourists! Usually there are hundreds of people up there and it’s hard to see around everyone. Also, no line what so ever! An absolutely amazing and beautiful experience!

The 82-second floor will cost approximately 40 dollars. If you want the 102 floor that will be another 40 dollars. Beautiful views and the wind feels great on your face.

Great experience! Go during the middle of the week. Less people and more time to explore :).

Every visitor of Empire State building will be overwhelmed by Extraordinary construction that was done 89 years ago. More amazing is the fact that it was constructed within 13 onths. Its ambience still charms visitors of every nation and every region of this world. Visiting New York City is incomplete without visit to this iconic building....

This is an icon and most people think this is a must but it is always overcrowded and canot be kept clean. It has a pretty hefty price. I would recomend going to a nice rooftop bar instead.

What an amazing experience! Took my sister here for her birthday and got the 86th & 102nd floor passes to check out. We went during the night time and the views from these floors are ones to experience! Looking down to the ground didn’t feel real unless you saw cars moving! The 102nd floor was intense but the experience will forever be unforgettable. Seeing my city from these heights made me realize I live in one of the best places in the world. Definitely a must have, to check out if you’ve never been, especiallyyyy if you live in NYC. & we went during covid so there was barely anybody up there we had almost the entire 102nd floor to ourselves it was wonderful. As far as the employees go they were all fantastic! Very polite workers and all had a smile on their faces.

Me and my grandmother went to the ESB in 2014. Paid for the tickets to the 102nd floor. The views over New York were breathtaking. My grandmother was in a wheelchair and she was treated with the upmost in dignity. Highly recommended. The ESB building is a MUST do for any tourist visiting the big Apple!

Wow. The admission price is steep but well worth the visit. The new set up is nice and will give you plenty of time to see the history of this historical building. Enjoy the displays, the time you have before reaching the observation deck is A-OK. The personal working the crowd for the most part are very informative and helpful. Of course your final destination, the observation deck awaits and the views (on the good days) are amazing. Walking around with a 360 degree view of Manhattan and the surrounding Boroughs, Counties, islands, rivers and yes even New Jersey are awesome. Hope you have fun in this landmark building and enjoy all it has to offer. .

Super organized, fun, exciting and historic reviewed attraction. Went up to the 102 floor, super nice view of New York City and great and helpful staff.

It was so AWESOOOOOME!! We went to the Observation Deck on the 86th floor, and we saw a full view of Manhattan! That was the first (and maybe only) time Ive been to this famous landmark!

Finest architecture and mesmerizing view from it ,while visit to NY one must really come to this...its worth coming for day and night view both...you wont be allowee on top of it but 3 level down from top is permitted , there is paid ticket for it so plan accordingly

REALLLLLY tall building! Very nice to look at.

Great attraction from entrance to exist with a great journey full of learning and exciting activations. My personal favorite is the King Kong one, it will stun you with how far weve gotten in the entertainment world and art!The view from the observatory is absolutely stunning and you wont want to leave. You should go on a bright day with minor clouds to really enjoy the beauty of the concrete jungle. Being on top of one of the tallest buildings in Manhattan, you will see almost everything there is to see just dont look down.There are 2 floors of the observatory, one where you can step outside and a higher indoor only glass window floor.

Very well lay out depicting the history and glory of such an iconic building. Fitting enough, the workers from security check in to the elevator attendees to the photo shop area.... really, really professional mentality and mindset.

Life is absolutely better on top of the world or should I say on top of the most iconic building in the world, the Empire State Building. No other place in New York City says its NYC without even saying it. I promise everyone in the world will know where you are so dont miss out and pay the few bucks and experience the real deal and make it up to the top - enjoy! :)

Wanted to visit the empire state building since I was a kid! Loved it. Make sure you go there at night. You get a BEAUTIFUL view of manhattan

One of the most iconic points of New York! The views were stunning and staff was friendly. We went there in May 2019, and it was one of our highlights when we visited the beautiful Big Apple that is New York! I really respect the architecture and design of the building, as well as the construction workers so many years ago! We got to see whole Manhattan, including Lady Liberty, One World trading center, and so many more! When we get back in New York, I’d be sure to visit it here again!

Such a beautiful Marvel and especially the views from the top floor is breathtaking. Do visit Empire state building without fail.

This place is spectacular! Literally nothing could top the experience we received. The views are gorgeous and you feel like you’re on top of the world! Staff was awesome and very friendly. Extremely clean facility!! Would highly recommend everyone to see this place!!I hope everyone that is reading this is having a really good day. And if you are not, just know that in every new minute that passes you have an opportunity to change that.️ What do you think of this beautiful place?⁣⁣ Instagram ===> @retarophotography⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The buildings Art Deco architecture, height, and observation decks have made it a popular attraction. Around 4 million tourists from around the world annually visit the buildings 86th and 102nd floor observatories; an additional indoor observatory on the 80th floor opened in 2019. The Empire State Building is an American cultural icon: it has been featured in more than 250 TV shows and movies since the film King Kong was released in 1933. A symbol of New York City, the tower has been named as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. It was ranked first on the American Institute of Architects List of Americas Favorite Architecture in 2007.

By Far the best building in New York city - Amazing staff. offering unbelievable view over NYC - highly recommended

For me its more of a compass, you can see it from almost everywhere and i think its better to go up on the other tall buildings so you can see the Empire State instead of being on it and miss the view of it...

The Staff are the most polite people i have ever met and is a very famous building would defo recommend

Loved showing off my town at night to my 13 yr old grandson from one of New Yorks most famous icons. The amazing part was no lines, no crowds, no struggling to get a good view on the outdoor observation deck. The silver lining of the pandemic.

A must when in NYC! It was amazing and scary all at the same time! The security measures are alarming but the view and the experience made it all worth it. It’s a little pricey but again worth every penny for the experience! Highly recommend and think it’s a must see!

We had an amazing time!!! I want to thank deeply and warmly Kai-Ti Kao for her kindness, sweetness and friendliness!!! The view on the Empire State Building is incomparable!!! 360 degree view! Beautiful

Awesome place to see. If anyone gets a chance to tour it I would definitely suggest doing it. We went as Covid was calming down so some stuff was closed but seeing the new York City skyline is an amazing sight.

Great experience. No lines employees were very friendly. Once we got the the 102nd floor the lady at the top was very informative about the surrounding area.

Dream Dream! Iconic building. Service is excellent. Very easy to come, just be sure you buy tickets online.

This is one of the most famous observation deck in the world.If you have the New York Pass, the New York City Pass and so on, you can enter the observation deck smoothly.The observation deck is open from morning to midnight, but I recommend you to visit at morning.There are not so many customers at morning, so you can easy to walk around the observation deck and easy to take photos every side(from north side to south side).At sunset time and evening, the Top of the Rock is better because the Empire State Building is illuminated at night, so it is beautiful and brilliant when you see from other location.

About $45 per person to visit. Expensive even compare to other NYC Observatories. Other beautiful skyscrapers in UAE and China are weight much better than the Empire State Building. (considering ticket price, What’s included with general admission, Scenic Views, etc.)

I first climbed to the top of the Empire State Building in 1973 when I was departing New Yorks JFK Airport to spend a year studying in Montpellier, France -- one of those Junior-Year-Abroad study excursions. The next time was in 1977 after I married my wife of 42 years. Her parents were visiting from Tokyo and we made a driving tour of the Eastern United States, and of course, stopped in New York City and went to the top of the Empire. I think the third time was in 1999 when I convinced by parents to fly to New York to meet up with me and my older son, who was studying in Cambridge, Mass. at the time. We were both attending and presenting at the TESOL conference held in New York in March of that year. I cant remember the details of the fourth time I visited it, but it was on a solitary trip to NYC in second decade of the 2000s. Over the decades I’ve seen the New York skyline undergo slow and steady changes, but it always remains one of the world’s great metropolises and a spectacle to behold from the zenith that the Empire State Building offers.

Great attraction. The staff is super nice and friendly. Wonderful view.

I see the empire state building in the corner of my eye almost everyday and I love it. But, NY resident or tourist, go to the top. You wont regret it. Not as impressive as the CN Tower in Toronto though, if you really want to be impressed

Loved the architecture. Good service and nice view.

I worked here for a while, great view and work environment.The observation deck is amazing as well.

Great management and service at this location. The staff is hands down some of the most polite people I have ever encountered.

Was wonderful experience, one should visit in the evening to see the sunset. New York will be most beautiful during sunset view from Empire State

GREAT MUST SEE PLACE GREAT VIEWS BUT LONG LINE MUST SEE I JUST WISH THEY COULD MAYBE LOWER THE PRICES>

Incredible experience. Went there for the first time. Definitely recommend. Lots of installations besides the charming view that we all go for!

The empire state building is one of the most iconic landmark in america the view is astonishing it truly is i went to the 80th floor and it was spectacular but when i went to the top floor of the building it was something else it was so breathtaking :D

Amazing!!! Breathtaking views. But be prepared to WAIT. The line is very long. I suggest looking up trending hours and avoid those!!!! Early morning is usually good but the night view is gorgeous! Make sure you say hello to the Sax man! It is also a pretty crowded once you get to the top. And if you pay extra and go higher u are super crammed in a little plastic tube. Its very claustrophobic but worth it! The elevator rides are fun too!!

Stunning land mark. The view from the top is amazing. Ive alwats seen this in movies and it was so great to actually see it in person!

Love the empire State building. The views are phenomenal. However lines are long, it takes a while to get in and its packed. Rockefellers system is better.

The scenery on the roof is very beautiful. you must take a look, especially the sunset.

Would have been better if my brother didnt keep touching me throughout the whole tour

Magestic love everything about it. As you enter you can feel the history of the landmark deep in your soul. Once the tallest building in the world now an iconic number one attraction destination for Americans and Worldwide. You will never forget your visit to The Empire State Building.

Got worried that I would fall since it was windy, cold, and tall. (I arrived in winter) but the view was wonderful. It was dark but oh boy, I was one with the sky. This is very epic to see things from a birds eye view. Very cool and very epic.

Beautiful place to view to admire NYC. The best thing to do is to purchase your tickets online, that way you can skip the waiting lines inside, which can be quite long sometimes.

A wonderful building which you have to visit when you go to America. There is always a huge que and you have to wait a lot. My mother has a wheelchair and so we could get in quickly.

So great, especially right now! We were the only people in sight for most of our visit. Totally surreal and incredible experience!

Don’t hate me for saying this but we only experienced a tiny line before we experienced the rush of crowds during the sunset. I recommend going before sunset and staying a couple of hours so you can see the stunning views that dramatically change from day to night. I took lots of photos of our experience as well as a time lapse during the transition to night lights. Epic experience and I can’t believe we almost skipped this. If your are afraid of heights, don’t be, they have it barred up completely safe.

Its to iconic and the views from the 86th floor are breathtaking. The city streets are loud and bustling with activity. Once your in the clouds looking down on the city its a peaceful quiet.

Amazing views of NY! Had a great time! 102nd floor was well worth the extra money in my opinion!

Ive lived in NYC for almost 4 years now and just recently went to the Empire State Building observatory. What I liked about it was the museum exhibit that you need to walk through first in order to get to the elevators up. There is a lot of interesting history with this building that was neat to learn about. You dont get that with the freedom tower observatory (you go to the separate 9/11 museum for that). The best part was that the observation deck on the 86th floor was outside. On a nice, clear day you get a beautiful view. I also purchased the additional pass to go to the 102nd floor...for an extra $30 it was definitely not worth it. The view is through dirty glass and the space is like maybe 15ft wide in diameter, I spent like 1 min there. My suggestion is get the standard tickets up to 86th floor, dont bother going higher, the views are basically the same.

Shop manager Melissa + Adeline were so good to me, website was blocking my Purchase from Barcelona Spain, for my kid whose favorite toy ever since he was born is the Stanley Gorilla stuffed animal.So they attend me by phone, Toon the time to do all the order themselves, and informed me by iMessage all the way. It took less than a week.I lost him and he won’t stop crying for him everyday...Now we have it back again and my son is happy and feel safe again as it’s like his best friend.

We visited the first day the Empire State Building reopened. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. It was very clear how to social distance and precautions were carefully followed. Please go visit NYC! It is possible to stay safe and support businesses that desperately need patrons to stay afloat!

One experience I will never forget

We chose to go to the Empire State Building at night to try and avoid crazy lines and crowds. There was still a large number of people, but not too bad. There is a lot of detail that goes into the trip to the top of the building where youll see the outrageous views. This includes numerous photo opportunities and insight into the buildings history. Unfortunately, during our visit, the employees here were less than helpful. As first time visitors, youd believe theyd instruct you, but many of them stayed silent with no instruction on where we were supposed to go. The real treasure is once you reach the top. The views are breathtaking. If you go at night or on a cold day, they do have heat lamps that wrap around the 86th floor exterior to where it isnt freezing. Definitely worth the trip!

Concrete Jungle where dreams are made of!Getting up was a long wait but definitely worth it once you get to the observation deck. The views were so lovely. You have to pick a good day and time to go up so that you are not disappointed with low visibility. Landmark buildings in the city!

It really is spectacular. The building just breathes history. Amazing new lobby/museum where you can learn some facts from the past. Also very interactive. People running working there are just a joy. They really love what they are doing. And once you get to the top, it truly is breathtaking.

I’ve lived in New York and realized I never been to the Empire State Building. It was amazing, the view from the observatory is impeccable. Being up there will give you the feeling of royalty looking down at your kingdom. The 360 degree view of New York City is so ingenious. If you’re looking to be amazed by the beauty of New York then try the VIP express ticket, it’s worth it.

Love it. Not to busy now. Awesome staff ️ very friendly.. what a view
