The view of New York from above was great and I enjoyed the flight itself. What I didn't like at all: I was sitting in the middle, so unfortunately I couldn't see out of the window as well as I had hoped and I couldn't take as many photos past the people sitting next to me. In my seat, the distance to the ceiling was also less than in the other seats, so I couldn't sit up straight without constantly bumping into the ceiling with my headphones. It was no problem to book at short notice and the ordering process was easy. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

I had an appointment for 2 p.m. and I arrived. I was put on the flight very quickly. I was lucky to be with the pilot who flew very well and professionally. The explanations in flight were clear even with my low level of English. For the technical part, the Safety video was clear, the ground staff very rigorous for access to the helicopter. For the maintenance of the helicopter (being a pilot myself) you can go up with complete confidence the machines are well maintained. In conclusion I recommend

We liked being able to point out landmarks to our young granddaughters. I personally couldn't help thinking about the horror that preceded this "Phoenix" . We were wounded on 9/11, but the people of this country got back up proudly! This beautiful building is a testament and memorial to all who lost their lives.

Interminable thing due to elevator malfunction. Instead of notifying us they left us 90 Min waiting before giving any explanation of the problem. Another 60 min wait then, with children on top of that. Easy to pay, hard to get refunds or excuses.

Edge is a top venue to visit, 1st time this year and will be going again on our next visit to New York. The views from the observation decks are amazing, even the elevator ride was impressive with the built in video show. Would thoroughly recommend a visit while in New York.

We had to wait 45 minutes for the train. As compensation, some visitors then received a voucher for a glass of champagne, others didn't, so we didn't feel disrespected.

So beautiful and so fun. Such a great view with a unique perspective of looking down under your feet. The building is also great before you even get to the Edge, fun shops and restauarants. Loved it. I highly recommend going if you like high buildings with amazing 360 views - if you are scared of heights - don't go -otherwise join in the fun.

We had a long line and hours standing to get inside. They divided us into lines to let us in but the last ones in were coming in with no sense plus there was too much crowd on top because there was no time. Also we paid to get in at 7:10 pm but did not go up until 7:40 pm which is absurd. The experience was unpleasant despite the beautiful visit where di bede all nyc

I genuinely found quite invasive that as soon as you walk in they move you around like sheep, taking pictures on wooden walls saying they are "souvenirs", and doing a full facial scan?!?! It's supposed to be for an "inversive" experience, however I wouldn't justify pretty much taking my full identity for my face to "show" 5 seconds on a cloud. A QR code currently retains my data and plenty others. Very uncomfortable. Other than that, it was okay. Would appreciate having more info on the views.

Since we had rain and no view at all for the first 2 hours of our stay, we had a particularly nice chat with the staff. Renate sang for us, we later danced to level 80!!!! After another hour the weather cleared up and we had quite good visibility.

The museum really honored the memory of those who perished in the towers as well as police, firefighters, and emergency personnel. The memorial outside was tasteful and moving.

Hi! We had a great experience at the 911 museum. I had no idea how BIG it was - we could have spent several hours there. I'd say the only thing I didn't love was that we went right to the movie as soon as we got there as it was starting in a couple minutes - so we went right in not knowing what it was. I was hoping it was going to be footage of the creation of the 911 memorial and museum, but instead it was about the search for Osama Bin Laden. Which I had followed at the time, and found incredibly interesting, but I wouldn't have taken my kiddo to this movie had I known, and instead used that time at the museum. Other than that the museum was powerful and breathtaking; we were in awe, and it absolutely honored the people who died, and gave them the recognition they deserved. Absolutely incredible.

First foremost, I was not able to download our tickets, via the website. I proceeded to the window and the staff was courteous & serviceable and promptly printed our tickets. The museum depicted all the details that I recall and then some. There were certain areas that were difficult to watch/read however, it was clearly denoted prior to entry and tragically, it was reality as I remember. The entire museum is extremely informative for those that were not living during 9/11 and desire to gain knowledge of such

Everything is spectacular, it is done with great delicacy and respect... it makes your hair stand on end to see what New York and its citizens suffered in this attack.

I think the exhibition should have more conceptualized each space and should be numbered , so that visitors relive the history by going through the tour !!!! But everything else was fine

Tickets by Headout permit us to enter directly without waiting to the line. The experience was realistic and taking us in our memories of this tragedy.
