Experience Highlights

What would New York be without its skyscrapers? They’re the city’s beating heart, and seeing them from above is a must on any trip to the Big Apple. Soar up 93 floors at One Vanderbilt, the fourth-tallest skyscraper in New York, and step into SUMMIT – one of the city’s hottest observation decks. Book your tickets now and experience it all:

  • Rise. Shoot up over 300 meters in just 50 seconds. No superpowers needed, just SUMMIT’s high-speed elevators.
  • Levitation. Two 360º sky-high viewing decks, Manhattan at your feet and the city stretching out in every direction.
  • Air. Once you’ve caught your breath, get your camera ready. Yayoi Kusama’s endless mirror rooms will max out your photo roll and leave you speechless. Don’t miss Reflect, a specially designed installation that invites you to pause, breathe, and meditate.

What’s included

  • Entry to all three SUMMIT levels
  • Air: a multisensory art experience of light, glass and reflections
  • Levitation: step into glass sky boxes 324 meters above Madison Avenue

Step by Step

Your SUMMIT One Vanderbilt ticket unlocks the moment that defines your trip. The one you’ll tell your friends about first. The memory that pops into your head every time you think of New York. The one you’ll want to repeat.

SUMMIT is one of New York’s newest and most in‑demand attractions. The observatory opened in 2020 and has been blowing visitors’ minds ever since.

The building has 93 floors, and the observatory takes over the top three. Your climb into the sky starts on floor 91, more than 300 meters (1,000 feet) above the street. That’s where the Rise elevators drop you off—and where Yayoi Kusama’s dazzling mirror galleries welcome you. On a clear day, the reflections of the surrounding skyscrapers feel almost unreal. And the best is still ahead.

On floor 92, Manhattan unfolds at your feet with two 360° viewing areas. Spot icons like the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building and decide for yourself: are you more jaw‑drop or ear‑to‑ear grin? Either way, save some energy. You’re not done yet.

The top floor, 93, is an open‑air terrace with one of the best panoramas in New York. Here you can shop or grab a drink at a café designed by renowned Norwegian firm Snohetta. Their architects, designers and artists also worked on the Library of Alexandria in Egypt—so yes, this stop is absolutely worth it.

Sounds good, doesn’t it?
