    The views from to top of empire state are amazing at night just all felt like a dream. It was a bit hard to get decent photos with the railings in the way but I understand it’s there for peoples safety. I thought it would be cold at the top but they have thermal heaters around to keep everyone warm so you can enjoy the views longer.

    It was fairly quiet, when we arrived. We had plenty of time to walk around the exhibits, and take our photos. The staff who worked in the building, were so friendly and obliging. We were so surprised when we stepped in to the lift and the ceiling of the lift “opened” and a magical show appeared.

    We purchase the Express Pass that was to take us immediate to the top. Because few people were there we were treated as if we purchase the standard pass - costing significantly less. We were not allowed on the 102 floor without upgrading which I thought was included. It was raining. Not worth it
