A must, breathtaking. We went at dusk so had the benefit of seeing it in sun and stars. Queues not bad at all either.

We loved the Skyride and the views from the top of Empire State Building were great. It's a good idea to buy the combined ticket because you avoid the long queue.

The NY SKYRIDE and Empire State Building Observatory trip that I booked through Viator was brilliant and worth every penny.We arrived, showed our voucher and were immediately taken past the 4 hour long queue and to begin our SKYRIDE within 15 minutes of arriving at the Empire State Building. Booking this activity in advance gave us more time in New York to experience what else the city had to offer.

I was very impressed with the New York Skyride and would highly recommend the experience. Wish it had lasted longer though!

Have been up the Empire State Building before; this ticket was better as we had no wait in long lines. Thanks again, Viator.

The Empire State Building observatory was great!!! I loved it! The Skyride was like a "Disney park". The quality of the movie screen was very bad.

You can't go to New York without a trip up the Empire State Building. I thought I'd booked express tickets up and down, but obviously I hadn't, so the queues took away some of the pleasure - it was hot, and nothing was provided to make it more interesting whilst in the queue, e.g., some history, photos, etc! The Skyride was excellent fun, despite some technical problems!

Well worth going and well worth the effort of booking on line as all queuing was avoided so was easy to get to top.
