    Amazing views
    Wow just had some of the greatest views of the city that you could ever imagine. If you get the opportunity to go this is a great place to start then you can map out where you want to visit. Sky looks are always better it’s amazing.

    Whole view is the city
    This was my favorite moment in our visit to Central City, Philadelphia. The view is amazing, the guide, I think his name is Gale, gave us a lot of information of sites we could visit in that day. He recommended places to visit for eating, and historical sites. We bought the tickets online and we saved a little on the purchase. Overall it’s a must visit location.

    I was so happy to take a tour of the city from a bird's eye view. The bar on the deck was a nice place to enjoy a drink. Philly Fred was there to show me around and his explanations made my trip!

No one knew if it is open. The web site says that it is closed, but later said it was open. We called the phone number on the web site, and the number is disconnected

Covid makes everything suck
Aug. 2020 • Family
The idea is great, and I love observation decks. But covid makes everyone so stressed out and angry. So try telling young children to not run or yell or climb the railings. Then also to put their mask over their nose and don’t get so close to the other people. And if you think you could maybe ease up on the poor kids because there are no people at all up there with you, forget it. The staff are more than happy to point out that your kids aren’t being perfect. In a completely empty observation deck. So yeah. Not worth it.

If you have kids and need something to do
Came here just to fill time before checking in. The views were nice but it’s a bit boring once you walk around half of it. Went during covid so social distancing is a thing, and they are being cautious of that even during the elevator ride up. Would I go again, no.

Nice views to fill the time
Jul. 2020
We preordered online and saved a few dollars. Everything was very clean and fairly empty. We were the only people up on the observation deck when we got there, and had it to ourselves for a good 20 minutes. Easily able to stay socially distant.

Views all around were really impressive. We've been to decks like this in Boston, NYC, Vegas and Niagara Falls, so for me I can take it or leave it. My husband and our daughter like them though, which is why I went. Plus, it was 94 degrees out, AND a lot of things were closed due to Covid, so we had some extra time in our itinerary.

Bathrooms and a soda machine on the top deck, as well as chairs and tables throughout the area. Cute gift shop upon exiting. We entered one way from the street, and exiting the opposite direction, into the mall (where there was a Bloomingdale's outlet, which was nice!)

Great views and informative guide

We were in Philly for the Flower Show and we wanted to see the entire city from above. It wasn’t busy at all and you really got some great views. Wish we could have stayed until sunset. We enjoyed all the extra info that Philly Phred gave us!

A True Gem, hidden in plain sight!
Feb. 2020 • Family
We enjoyed this experience with our 11&13 yr old granddaughters last week, arriving in late afternoon to watch the sun go down and the city lights come up! Jim, our tour guide, provided great information about the city, with suggestions for special sights we'll enjoy on future trips. The game boards set up around the perimeter provided unexpected fun ~ a delightful way to spend our early evening in the city!
