Summit One Vanderbilt is one of the most immersive observation decks in New York City, combining breathtaking skyline views with interactive art installations and glass-floor experiences.
Located atop One Vanderbilt, it offers a multi-sensory journey through reflective rooms, thrilling glass ledges, and outdoor terraces that provide unparalleled views of the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and Central Park.
Tourists looking to save money on their New York trip often seek discount passes that offer free entry to Summit One Vanderbilt.
Unfortunately, Summit One Vanderbilt is not included in any major NYC discount pass. This means Go City New York Explorer Pass, New York Sightseeing Flex Pass, Go City The New York Pass, and New York CityPASS do not cover entry.
These passes cover free entry to the Empire State Building, The Edge, One World Observatory, and Top of the Rock but don’t include Summit One for some reason.
