Best view of NY. - Oh, the One World Trade Center is really impressive! The view from there is spectacular, especially because you can see the whole city, the New York Bay and even the Statue of Liberty in the distance. The One World Observatory at the top is a unique experience, with an amazing 360-degree panorama and a dive into the history of the city. Taking my children to this experience will be wonderful! Besides the view, the 9/11 Memorial is also very impactful and educational.

Would visit again - Excellent visit and experience. Really slick operation with airport style security , friendly staff and of course amazing views! Definitely worth a visit. We didn’t need to bother with skip the queue ticket tho as there wasn’t any queues! Also don’t forget to trade in your $ in the shop or cafe! We forgot to do this 🙈

Zip to the top - We were fortunate that there wasn’t a huge crowd to begin with but judging from the way they are prepared for major lines. I would always use the express pass. It’s well worth it.

Fantastic view of the city - The good 40 euros are very well spent. On the one hand you are on the tallest building in the western hemisphere and on the other hand you have the perfect view over the city. Especially the view north to Midtown is great.

Dinner a 1000ft up ! - Visited here after visiting 9/11. It was a beautiful clear night and the views were amazing, useful to have the tablet device which helped identify landmarks with associated information. As time was getting on we opted to try restaurant, we had not booked, but the lovely lady on reception couldn’t offer a window seat as they were all booked ( didn’t know you could) we had a lovely quite booth which you could still the amazing views down Manhattan Island back towards the midtown area. Fantastic end to a memorable day. Food was good, but as with everywhere in NYC it’s expensive. Well worth a visit.

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 only skyscraper with 360° views over the whole city is very high - The skyscraper that turns 360 ° on itself and therefore you can see completely New York is the only one in the battered city where there is a 360 ° view all around is very high so the visibility is fantastic excellent. I wanted to tell you that it is not the skyscraper that I liked the most is worth seeing anyway I suggest to book it the period Near sunset to have a clear effect. Much more beautiful photo shield. I found the ticket only for a different time that sunset and then I will not be able to make point of attention very strong attention to backpacks pass under the detector meter everything that looks like even including a photo tripod that hold it and you have to go and collect after me the tripod they took it I could not then use it to take the photo. The queue is very long take it at least half an hour, three quarters of an hour from when you climb inside the building until you are above. There are toilets souvenir shops.

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.
