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.

The museum staff were very rude to visitors, yelling at them to get away from the paintings. EVERY single painting should have the railing around the front of it so people will respect the boundary & the "guards" don't have to yell every five seconds. It really detracted from the experience.

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.

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.

  2. During non-peak hours, consider the standard entry ticket, which let's you skip past the box office line and head straight to security.
  3. Only the all-inclusive ticket gives you flexible entry to the One World Observatory. This is helpful if you're booking in advance and unsure of what your plans are for the day.
  4. Upgrade to the VIP Tour for a guided 1-hour tour, with fast-tracked, escorted entry and exit to the elevators, access to the observation deck, the Sky Portal, the SkyPod elevator, and a food and drink voucher. If this is your first visit, make the most of it by diving deep with a tour guide.
  5. If you plan on spending a few hours at the observatory and combining your visit with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, head to One Dine for a diverse spread of gourmet cuisine with stellar views of the city. The deluxe, all-inclusive ticket, & VIP Tour include a voucher that can be used at the restaurant or the gift shop.
  6. Knock off two iconic attractions on your visit. The ​9/11 Memorial & Museum and One World Observatory are both a part of One World Trade Center. Choose a ​combo ticket to visit both attractions at a discounted price.
