Don't come here, it doesn't worth the price waiting rude staff. I had to wait for more than 2h in five lines... when you think its over, there comes another line.

Don't get scammed by the people selling tickets outside. Go at night, a lot less people and a very pretty view. The simulation ride there was OK though not worth the price tag.

Don't EVER go to 102nd floor. It isn't open like 86, it's small, dirty glasses.

Not worth the money; very overpriced and exit thru gift shop just about sums up this attraction !!!

86th is enough. 102nd view is not good considering additional pay ($15).
