Have wanted to visit since the year 2000, but for one reason or another never managed it until 2024. It was a fantastic experience to be on top of the Empire State on Christmas day and am so pleased,…Full review by Christine B

If I buy a ticket for 4:30 and its more expensive due to sunset - is it guaranteed I will see the sunset? I hate to pay more and miss because of waiting in a line. Also - do they allow strollers?
A:
4:30 is a bit late - it’s takes a little while to get to the top once you’re in the building I had 3:45 tickets on 12 Nov - sunset was 4:45 that day. Arrived 3:35, was at the 86th floor at 4:10. …
4:30 is a bit late - it’s takes a little while to get to the top once you’re in the building I had 3:45 tickets on 12 Nov - sunset was 4:45 that day. Arrived 3:35, was at the 86th floor at 4:10. Got to see the city in the daylight, then a spectacular sunset, then the city all lit up. Highly recommend doing it this way (but adjust times according to current sunset time)
