We recently visited the Summit at the Vanderbilt to celebrate a special occasion. Lilian loves the Empire State Building. I know what you are thinking, I thought that this was about the Summit. However, the best way to observe the Empire State Building is from the outside not the inside. The Summit didnt just provide the views that we were looking for, it also provided us with tons of entertainment and a wonderful overall experience that was well worth the price of admissions.

We bought the tickets during the busy holiday season. As a result, we could not find any discount tickets. Everything said sold out. Including official Website for the Summit building. However, I tried the package deal with Ascent and picture package and I was able to get a time slot. I picked an 8:30 time slot since we were planning to have dinner in Jersey and we needed to have plenty of time to get to the summit from the restaurant.

We had a blast! I was a little worried with the amount of people that were in line with us, however, once we climbed up to the top, it was very easy to move around and we did not have to wait long to take pictures by the glass. It was a clear night and it the city looked beautiful. Most importantly, Lilian had a great view of the Empire State Building. We would have been happy with just this experience.
