SUMMIT One Vanderbilt Night Experience Tickets

About this experience

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt Night Experience Tickets Standing more than 1,000 feet above Midtown Manhattan, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt transforms into something extraordinary after dark. This observation deck experience combines sweeping city views with immersive art installations designed specifically for evening visitors. You'll see New York's famous skyline illuminated against the night sky whilst exploring interactive exhibits that respond to the city's twinkling lights below. The night experience takes you through three distinct levels of the skyscraper, each featuring different art installations. Kenzo Digital's "Air" uses mirrors to create endless reflections of the glittering cityscape, whilst Yayoi Kusama's "Cloud" presents illuminated dots floating against the backdrop of Manhattan's lights. Step onto the Levitation skyboxes with glass floors for views straight down to Madison Avenue, or head to the open-air terrace to feel the evening breeze whilst taking in panoramic views of the city.
