General

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is a state-of-the-art observation deck located at the top of the One Vanderbilt skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan. It offers immersive multi-sensory experiences and breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of the New York City skyline from its multiple levels.

The Observatory

The main highlight is the 360-degree outdoor viewing platform on the 92nd floor, providing unobstructed vistas of iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty. The indoor viewing areas feature floor-to-ceiling glass windows and mirrored surfaces that create disorienting and unique perspectives of the cityscape.

The Experience

  • Immersive art installations like "Air" create the illusion of boundless space through multi-part story-driven experiences.

  • Interactive exhibits like "Affinity" with floating silver balloons and mirrored surfaces offer a surreal experience.

  • The "Transcendence" rooms with mirrored floors and ceilings provide endless photo opportunities and unique vantage points.

  • Glass elevators offer an adventurous ride along the exterior of the building (additional cost).

Tips

  • Purchase timed tickets in advance online to skip ticket lines.

  • Visit around sunset to catch stunning views of the city lights.

  • Dress appropriately with pants or shorts to avoid issues with the mirrored floors.

  • Bring your own sunglasses if you wear prescription lenses for better visibility.

  • Allow 2-3 hours to fully experience all the exhibits and viewpoints.

  • Check for clear weather conditions for the best views and photo opportunities.
