We visited one of America's tallest skyscrapers - Summit One Vanderbilt in New York City - and I'm sharing everything you need to know before you go! From our family's perspective traveling from Northern Ireland, here's the full Summit experience including the incredible Ascent add-on at the very top.
🎟️ PRACTICAL TIPS FOR IRISH & UK VISITORS:
→ Book tickets online in advance (walk-up prices are higher and not guarateed)
→ Ascent costs extra but absolutely worth it for the glass elevator experience.
→ Best time to visit: sunset for day AND night views or early in the moring to avoid crowds
→ Located at 42nd Street & Madison Avenue (easy subway access)
→ Allow 90-120 minutes for the full experience
→ Photography tips: the mirror rooms are Instagram gold!
💰 COST BREAKDOWN:
Summit Experience: $44
Ascent Add-On: $66
New York has four other obervation decks Top of the Rock, Empire State Building, The Edge, and One World Observatory, I've been up them all, so find out how I think One Vanderbilt compares.
