Summarised reviews
Visitors rate the Empire State Building about 4.8 / 5 for its sweeping 360-degree skyline views that stretch from Central Park to the Statue of Liberty, smooth Skip-the-Line and Sunrise entry options, friendly staff, fast elevators, and engaging exhibits like King Kong and the Art-Deco history rooms. Arriving at sunrise or sunset gives the best light and smaller crowds, while skip-the-line tickets help avoid midday queues.
