Unique experience, photos very expensive but it’s fun

Had great time, you are strapped in! Over quite quick, would have liked to have been able to view pics before we got off, they are expensive to purchase but we thought it was a unique experience.

Nothing like it! Just do it!

Family of 4, turned into to 2 after seeing how high up we were going! Lol! Inside the building, were props to set the stage and depict the lives of those builders. The beam portion of the visit was breathtaking and fun. I would have stayed up there longer if I could have. There wasn’t a long line in the middle of the weekday. I lost my ticket to retrieve my picture that the photographers took of us on the beam but my husband captured a few. It was completely safe, no worries.

Beam me up to the Top!

We’ve been the the top before but this time and with the Beam experience it just made it so much more. Thank you to the amazing and friendly staff throughout the experience. Whoever is hiring and training absolutely got it right by how we felt and were treated so well. Best part of our trip!

The whole package

Everything was perfect and I did like the experience, only thing I can find is the digital pictures for $45, you paid that much and the pictures were not that good, but not terrible. Everything else was good

Top of the Rock? Top of My List!

What a great time! Fascinating history and incredible views from an art deco gem! Highly recommend the Beam, especially with a teenager!

Fun times in NYC with best friend

Was an awesome way to see nyc from up on high and admire the city. The beam was an extra nice photo to get only thing is they will not let you take a camera in there or even your cellphone and they want to charge you $20.00 for the beam experience then they take your photos and want $45.00 that part was ridiculous. Should share say an additional 20 for the photos

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
