Tara was an excellent source of information for the Edge. She displayed excitement and helpful tips that made the description of the experience a worth while event.
Absolutely stunning views and what a well managed facility! One of a kind in NYC and a must do all architecture lovers. Eagle's eye view of the entire NYC skyline!
Beautiful views of NYC! Arrived early and was accepted early. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Edge not overcrowded at all.
Epic photo shoot capturing key features across the city. Unique settings you won’t find anywhere else. Great backdrop no matter the weather. Good family atmosphere.
Had a wonderful experience on the Edge. Weather was perfect for viewing and pictures all the way around. Enjoyed drinks and food, staff was friendly thank you.
It’s fun and a little scary. I loved being able to see the city from the 100th floor. Looking down from the glass on the bottom of the floor was amazing.
I actually found that going at night was better for lights views photographs. I also went during the day as well but I liked the evening better.
I couldn't go outside and see everything because of the rain and they didn't give me champagne and they charged me for it but it was okay.
The shopping mall underneath the edge is worth spending a few hours in either before or after the Edge experience. Lots of good eateries too. I had Sushi. Once up on the 104st floor it's amazing. The views are spectacular. I plucked up courage to lie down on the glass walkway and had my photo taken. Once you've taken all your photos etc there is nothing in my opinion to keep you there. Maybe some new attractions need to be added.
It was a great experience. Everything was neat or organized. I love the photo ops and the edge was a wonderful way to see the city.
