Stunning views - We visited the one world observatory on our first morning in NYC. It was a beautiful clear December morning and the views were spectacular, I would recommend getting the iPad (extra cost) which points out the landmarks - my husband was very entertained by this. The experience was great and I would recommend the all inclusive experience to jump the queues.

Friday morning At 9 am - Friday morning at 9 am there were no lines - so the skip the line features of some of the more expensive tickets were not really needed.

Excellent experience - We ordered the premium pass. There was no waiting in line it was very easy to navigate around. We had a person with us that had limited mobility and he was able to easily get around and enjoy. One of the biggest highlights of our trip to NYC

What a beautiful way to... - What a beautiful way to see the city! The fast pass was the way to go and the $15 coupon made it the same price as the regular ticket.

Nice views, enjoyed - Would recommend. Nice views, not as good as some of the other one towers. Easy to navigate. Only gripe was we had a go city pass, you can’t pre book so have to turn up for a slot. You will never get in asap k on inundated what is 1hr 20. This so so you have to upgrade. We did to save time about $15/20 each. Enjoyed it.

Great attraction, just skip the cafe / all inclusive ticket and save yourself the money, - The elevator experience and view was absolutely amazing. It never felt busy and we were able to spend as long as we wished admiring the view. All of the staff were friendly and professional. We paid for the all inclusive ticket and it was a waste of money. We were able to skip the queue, except there was no queue (despite visiting during peak times). We also got $15 credit to use in the shop / cafe but The tuna sandwiches we bought were inedible, literally the worst sandwich we’ve ever eaten and that it saying a lot!

The bar and restaurant is badly organized. Observatory is great. - The observatory is great, the views are great as well, the restaurant and bar is really bad, the people is extremely unfriendly, and there’s not enough seating available, we purchased $15 drink and eat voucher. It was not possible to get a seating. Even at the bar, there was not enough space.

The app did not work. - The app does not always work to present tickets. I was forced to purchase tickets because the tickets would not load in the app.
