**Your Experience (Summary)**See New York City sparkle from above with a nighttime visit to SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, where panoramic views, immersive art, and city lights create an unforgettable evening adventure.

Your evening begins at the base of One Vanderbilt, just steps from Grand Central Terminal. After a quick security screening, board the elevator for a thrilling 42-second ascent to the top where glass walls open up to sweeping views of Midtown Manhattan.

  • Levitation lets you walk out onto transparent glass skyboxes more than 1,000 feet above Madison Avenue.

  • Cloud by Yayoi Kusama fills the space with playful polka dots that contrast beautifully with the night sky.

  • Step into Reflect and Affinity, where mirrored rooms and floating orbs shimmer in the soft glow of the city.

  • Witness NYC's iconic skyline light up after dark.

  • Access immersive installations across all three levels of SUMMIT.
