About SUMMIT One Vanderbilt
SUMMIT blends an observation deck with immersive mirrored art and thrilling glass skyboxes — all connected to Grand Central Terminal.
Timed entry helps keep crowds comfortable. Sunset and evening slots are popular and often sell out early.
You can visit AIR and Levitation with base entry; Ascent is an optional add‑on subject to weather and operational conditions.
Hosts provide context in English and other languages; signage and soundscapes guide you through the experience.
Browse all options to tailor your skyline visit — quick daytime view, golden‑hour photos, or after‑dark city lights.

What to expect at SUMMIT
A multi‑sensory journey of mirrors, height, and city views — here’s a simple plan:
Check in at the dedicated entrance, ride the elevator up, and enter AIR — mirrored rooms that stretch sightlines and turn the skyline into playful, shifting art. Pause often; every angle changes the experience.
Step into Levitation glass boxes if you like, then consider upgrading to the Ascent elevator for an exterior ride with incredible views. Finish with a snack or drink and take time for sunset glow or the city’s evening lights.
