What can I say you just have to visit such an iconic building!! Went went right to the top - this was amazing!! Hard to believe the guys who built this had very little safety equipment!! Scary thought!!

When you visit New York, do not forget to visit Empire State Building at least once for your life. If you like art deco architectonical style, you will be thrilled by beauty of building itself.

Do what we did and get the NY Pass... 80 attractions that are free and it pretty much pays for itself. Otherwise it will cost you an arm and leg. We only went to the 86th Floor and that was more than enough. The views are fantastic and the history of the Empire State Building is very interesting.

Even the building is fantastic! Great photo taken there of me and my 2 daughters celebrating my 60th birthday. Hardly any delays and a good gift shop too!

We waited to go on a clear day, and it was worth it. The views are incredible. The crowd and wait was not that bad.

I would like to say that it has a spectacular view from the top. 86th floor is worth but not the 102nd. You have to take pictures with a SLR. Not worth taking pictures with iphone.
