Empire State Building Tickets - Observatory and Optional Skip the Line Tickets

Purchased the Skip the Line tickets. Worth the extra for the skip the line tickets as no waiting in long lines. Great view at the top from level 86.

It is worth every penny for skip the line tickets!

Breezed right past a very long line with the skip-the-line tickets. Made the visit very quick and more time to see more sights! Worth the extra money for sure.

This was awesome! We went at night. Unbelievable view! I highly recommend paying the extra for the VIP experience. The lines were crazy long! It took about 15 minutes for us to get to the top from the time we got out of the taxi to the time we were at the top looking at the view. If we had to wait in line it would have taken easily 2 hours or more. Longest part was going thru security! We got some dirty looks and shocked faces from people that didn't get the VIP experience when we were ushered to the front of all the lines and it was pretty funny!
We felt like real VIP's! Pay the extra !

Julian from security was a star at the top taking photos for people, really nice bloke!
We where there at 8am and beat the que

If you want to see the Empire State Building without waiting in line for hours and hours then this is the best option. We walked past an extremely long double line outside and we couldn't guess how long the line was inside because it looped around the 1st floor and continued to the 2nd floor. We didn't stand in line at all! We went in the door to the escalator, received wrist bands, had to go through security and right on to the elevator to the observation deck! It was fabulous!

Brilliant! allways show the bracelet you get at the entrance to pass through without waiting. Amazing views!

great trip highly recommended

Viator NEVER fails us! Great experience and skipping the lines was an added bonus :-

Well worth the cost of getting jump the cue tickets, a must for anyone coming to N.Y..
