Impressive view from the observation deck. Nevertheless I've expected cleaner windows and non reflective glass. The cafe and restaurant didn't meet my expectations at all. Cafe is like a fast food place without any charm. Restaurant doesn't offer any coffee speciality like cappuccino, latte or even espresso nor sweets like a cake. They are giving you the feeling that they want your money only.

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.

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.

With the pre-booked ticket you still have to wait in the same line with everybody else before you get into the museum. But it goes ahead pretty fast. In the MoMa most people seem to go for the most famous paintings, while it's more acceptable in the other rooms. It's crowded anyway. However, it's a great museum and absolutely worth a visit.

I always enjoy MOMA, especially the large collection of Impressists. This time in addition to my usual favorites I really enjoyed the Turning Point Exhibition. It was fascinating to read about the thoughts and intentions behind these innovative designs. The exhibit was also displayed in a very enticing manner with each exhibit allocated its own mini stage.

Seeing the works of Monet, Picasso and Van Gough, I was speechless. These were priceless jewels and no words I can utter to further explain the beauty that comes from each canvass.

The museum is phenomenal that goes without saying I can walk around there for hours. But I am taken aback about how loud it is how everybody seems to be comfortable to have full conversations. When I'm at the Met or the Whitney, I can hear my heartbeat. I really had a hard time. Enjoying everything with how loud it was. I also think you should make some efforts to organize the crowd around starry night. I'm not gonna pretend to have the answer. But putting it in the corner seems like maybe not the way to go. I had a few interactions with the staff and they were polite, respectful and very helpful. Nothing but great things to say about them.

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.

Impressive view from the observation deck. Nevertheless I've expected cleaner windows and non reflective glass. The cafe and restaurant didn't meet my expectations at all. Cafe is like a fast food place without any charm. Restaurant doesn't offer any coffee speciality like cappuccino, latte or even espresso nor sweets like a cake. They are giving you the feeling that they want your money only.

I took my son and his friends for the tour. We pre-booked the tickets so we knew where to go and shared the details with the parents of the kids prior to the visit. It was an enriching experience and they learnt about why New York is the greatest city in the world.

We didn’t go through the instructions clearly and ended up at the memorial first. We called up the customer service and they directed us to the Cathedral where the tour starts. They were helpful and we didn’t have to wait for help or lose our ticket money!
