Private NYC Skyscrapers and Summit Guided Experience
Overview
Many of New York's most iconic skyscrapers, like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, are here in Midtown. Discover the bold geometric style of Art Deco and the glamorous flourishes of Beaux-Arts as your guide points at the details. You'll pass cultural giants like Macy’s and the monumental New York Public Library as you relive the drama of the skyscraper race a century ago.
Your experience culminates at over 1,000 feet up as you explore three immersive floors at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt. You'll enjoy a 90-minute guided tour and skip the line for entry as well as for the hugely popular Levitation: unique glass overlooks that let you feel like you're standing atop New York. This experience also includes a cocktail in the Après Lounge and your choice of entry times, even the coveted sunset hours.
