Empire State Building, New York City

Great attraction from entrance to exist with a great journey full of learning and exciting activations. My personal favorite is the King Kong one, it will stun you with how far we've gotten in the entertainment world and art! The view from the observatory is absolutely stunning and you won't want to leave. You should go on a bright day with minor clouds to really enjoy the beauty of the concrete jungle. Being on top of one of the tallest buildings in Manhattan, you will see almost everything there is to see just don't look down. There are 2 floors of the observatory, one where you can step outside and a higher indoor only glass window floor.

The building architecture inside is beautiful. The photos, videos, and attractions inside make it a fun and interesting trip to the top. Once you get to the lower observation deck, you're outside but they have many heat lamps so you're not miserable when it's cold. I highly recommend that you upgrade and get access to the upper observation deck because of old NY hospitality that you're greeted with by the extremely friendly staff. The gift shop has many nice items including high end gifts.
