Plan your perfect visit | Things to do at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

Levitation is one of the boldest ways to experience NYC’s skyline and promises to be an exhilarating activity. These glass skyboxes jut out from the building, giving you a clear view straight down to the city streets far below. This thrilling yet surreal exhibit is the perfect place to snap that “walking on air” photo.

One of the coolest parts of SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is how it blends gorgeous views with immersive art. Move through a series of exhibits like Transcendence, where mirrors multiply the skyline in every direction, and Affinity, filled with floating silver orbs you can play with. Don’t miss Unity, where your face becomes part of the experience in a truly futuristic way.

After all the excitement, Après is the perfect place to relax and take it all in. This sleek bar and lounge sits high above the city, serving up craft cocktails, curated bites, and unbeatable views through floor-to-ceiling windows. You’ll need a valid SUMMIT ticket to get in, but once you’re there, it’s the ultimate way to toast your sky-high adventure.

If there’s one place to go all out on photos, it’s here. Capture stunning selfies inside the Levitation glass boxes, strike a pose surrounded by infinite reflections in the Transcendence mirrors, or snap group shots amid the floating silver balloons in Affinity. The rooftop terraces let you frame the Empire State Building or Central Park perfectly behind you. If you book the guided tour, a digital photo package is included, so you can focus on the moment while someone else captures it for you.
