9. Summit One Vanderbilt
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Michelle LemaFeeling like I’m in a glass castle at @summitov
What to expect with GA:
🏙You’ll get a QR code wristband so you can download photos Summit photographer take
🏙Before going up the elevator you’ll take your portrait which might appear in the Unity room
🏙Take a 42-sec ride in a light-and-mirror-infused elevator up 1k ft to the 91st fl.
🏙91st fl:
Transcendence 1: Mirrored room by @kenzodigital Affinity-balloon room
Levitation-Step into two glass ledges suspended 1,063 ft above Madison Ave (People form a line for this so you’re not given much time for photos/videos.)
🏙92nd fl:
Transcendence 2-mezzanine vantage point looking down at Transcendence 1.
Unity-become a part of the experience itself, when your 3-D portrait is transformed into a cloud in a animated skyscape.
🏙93rd fl:
Clouds- mirrored sculpture room by #YayoiKusama Apres- sky-high lounge and café where you can buy light bites/cocktails
Summit Terrace- an open-air wraparound space featuring an indoor & outdoor bar
Ascent -glass elevator where you’ll journey to over 1,200 ft (not included in GA)
Other things to keep in mind:
📝Give yourself at least 2-3 hours to enjoy the experience without rushing. The bathrooms have views too
📝Best time to go? It’s stunning at any time! Imo it’s hard to take photos during the night. I suggest coming right when they open to have less people in your pics
📝Bring sunglasses during the day as it’s super bright with all the reflective materials used.
📝You’ll be given disposable shoe covers. Stiletto heels/footwear that could damage the mirrored floor are not allowed (I think you can be barefoot?)
📝Avoid short dresses/skirts bc you’ll be walking on mirrored floors
📝Selfie-sticks, tripods, profesh photo/video equipment are not permitted.
💰: Prices differ if daytime or evening. Starts at $39, $59 for elevator. + $10 during sunset. Discounted tixs for NYC residents & active/retired members of the U.S Armed Forces are eligible for free/ reduced price tixs.
