Headout is an authorized and trusted partner of the venue, offering curated experiences to enjoy this attraction.

Step into a multi-sensory world of mirrors, sky-high glass, and surreal art, 1,000+ feet above Manhattan.
Set atop the soaring 1,401 feet One Vanderbilt building, SUMMIT offers jaw-dropping views of New York City from the highest commercial skyscraper in Midtown.
The three immersive floors at the observation deck are filled with interactive exhibits designed to shift your perspective on nature, architecture, and New York itself.
Step into Kenzo Digital’s Air, where mirrored infinity rooms blur the lines between sky and self, or take in Yayoi Kusama’s Clouds for a playful take on perception and space.
Ascent, a glass-bottomed elevator that scales the outside of the building, will take you 1,210 feet high and offers a pulse-racing view of the skyline beneath your feet.
Inside SUMMIT One Vanderbilt are two glass-bottomed 8-foot ledges, that let you look down at Madison Avenue and feel the rush of floating in mid-air.



This five-part-story-driven immersive experience is designed to create the illusion of boundless space. Mixing transparency and reflectivity, AIR is a magical experience at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt.









Your admission ticket gets you full access to SUMMIT’s main observation deck plus all three immersive levels including art installations like Air by Kenzo Digital and the glass skyboxes at Levitation.
The Ascent elevator ride isn’t part of the standard ticket, but don’t worry, you can buy access to it separately once you’re there.
If you don’t want the hassle of waiting in long queues, go for the guided tour that comes with skip-the-line access.
Yes, you will have to book the Night Experience tickets if you want to visit the observation deck after dark. These night tickets specifically showcase the city’s skyline after dark, offering a unique ambiance and art installation experiences that differ from the daytime experience.
A guided tour is perfect if you want a deeper dive. It comes with expert stories about the art, architecture, and Midtown’s history. You even get to skip long lines, so you can enjoy the experience without any waiting around. A bonus is that this ticket comes with a complimentary digital photo package that lets you take home a tiny bit of your SUMMIT experience as a souvenir.
You can’t visit Après without a SUMMIT One Vanderbilt ticket since it’s part of the overall experience. You can get your admission ticket here to enjoy a wonderful meal at this chic dining spot on your observation deck visit.

While your admission tickets do not come with transport, you can choose a combo that includes SUMMIT One Vanderbilt Tickets and the Big Bus New York Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour. The observation deck is just a short 10-min walk from the Times Square East stop making it a convenient way for you to go sightseeing around the city.
The tickets are timed and valid for one-time entry only. Once you exit, you won’t be able to re-enter so make sure to soak it all in while you’re there.
Make sure to be there at least 10 mins early for your scheduled time. If you’re late, staff will try to fit you into the next available slot, but entry isn’t guaranteed if you miss your time slot.
While the SUMMIT experience is designed to last approximately 60 to 90 mins, you can take your time at the observation deck. Enjoy the art, soak in the skyline views, and snap as many photos as you like, there’s no time limit.
