The Summit is one of those experiences that really does live up to the hype at least once you finally make it inside. The views are ridiculous. Like standing there with your mouth open ridiculous. You get this full, cinematic sweep of the city. glass towers catching the light, the river snaking off into the haze, tiny yellow cabs moving like toy cars far below. It’s hard not to feel a little awestruck.
Inside, it’s all mirrors and reflections almost trippy, in a good way. Every surface seems designed to make you stop and take in just how unreal it all looks. The whole place feels polished and modern, almost like you’re inside the future version of New York. And the sunset view? Completely worth timing your visit for.
That said, the queuing can test your patience. There’s a line for security, a line for the elevator, a line to get to the next area basically, a line for everything. It doesn’t ruin the experience, but it does chip away at that sense of effortless magic. You’ll want to factor in extra time, and maybe a bit of mental stamina.
Still, once you’re up there, it’s hard to stay annoyed. The Summit delivers on spectacle and scale in a way very few attractions do. It’s part art installation, part observation deck, and part “I can’t believe this view is real. If you can tolerate the waiting, the payoff is absolutely worth it.
