Not allowed to take pictures on beam

I enjoyed it until I realized that I wasn’t allowed to take pictures of us on the beam but would have to purchase pictures from them. If I knew that I wouldn’t have purchased the tickets

Amazing customer service!!

This experience was a top to bottom testament to the skills of the best customer service team I have ever encountered. All my qualms and queries were answered with eloquent professionalism and at a speed that rivals even the exhilarating elevator thrill ride. 10/10 customer service, and the views were good too!

Rockafeller and beam experience

The rockafeller is a beautiful building inside and out, the cool facts and Information about the building is a plus, we loved the beam experience, just wish you could get longer up there,what a view you get.. We got some amazing pictures What made this experience extra special was a security guard called Nankoo, what a legend, so friendly, we chatted away with him, he helped us with express passes, we felt like celebrities, such a lovely man.

Great Views! Worth it but not the add-ons.

The views were amazing!! I've been to several observatory decks now in NYC, and this was an amazing experience as well. Not the best of them but still a well-worth it experience. I like the 3rd observatory deck, where there aren't any glass panes blocking the sides. I was a bit disappointed in the Beam experience. It was like a 15 second experience and it only raises as high as the 3rd observatory deck. They then take two pictures that you also have to pay an additional fee for. They are not allowed to take pictures with your phone and you are not allowed to take your phone on the Beam. The staff was willing to take a picture for our group after we were back on the ground.

Operator response

Thanks for your feedback, Elizabeth! We're thrilled you enjoyed the views and the unique experience on the observatory deck. We appreciate your insights about the Beam experience and will share your thoughts with the team to enhance guest satisfaction. Hope to see you again soon!
