Terrible
Rebel ·Waste of time and energy and wasted one of my site seeing options. Nothing but stairs , elevator doesn’ fit anyoneb because there’ a guy sittiing down running it and it goes slower than any elevator invented in the world . Also they didn’ mention the top was closed so I walked up the stairs for no reason. Looks like they have it closed permanently. Really a waste of time and money, look at it from the outside is more enjoyable
Décevant
Joli de loin, et une fois arrivé… On n’a pas accès à toutes les plateformes, il y a ded filets partout, vite pliée comme activité! Bien content d’avoir eu le pass car ça nous aurait fait mal de payer 14$/perdonne pour si peu… Ça dira peut-être plus aux instagrammeurs… C’est un gros vase quoi…
Beautiful Architecture & views of the surrandings
We didn't know exactly what it was before going, but, we really liked it! the Architecture is super IMPRESSIVE! We went around the time to closure and it was empty, we went up in the elevator and went down through the stairs. Pictures don't capture the beauty of this place.
Disappointing Experience
Josemar S ·The views are limited, and only one side is open, which makes the experience less impressive than expected. The elevator was also not working properly, making the visit even more frustrating.
Muy buena
Espectacular, 100% recomendado. No te puedes ir de NY sin visitarlo
Spectecular building
Mariann ·It is a really spectacular building. It was good to see how special it is, but the experience was a bit lowkey. It is basically just a simple viewpoint. But the staff were nice and the experience also. If you have free time in the city I recommend to visit Vessel, but if you have only limited time, I think there are several more iconic attractions to visit in New York. Also important to mention the using the Gocity app is a good choice during our New York visit. It is easy and comfortable to use.
