      No time constraint was an excellent choice for us. We flew in same day and knew there would be possible delays. This ticket had no time constraint and skip-ahead of the line for our access. It also began to rain which also slowed our travel time. It was wonderful to never feel stressed out about what time we got there for our trip up to the observation deck. We’ll worth it.

      Amazing architecture...positive. What bothered me was...this building should be a sacred site for lives lost, but I see penny crushing machines for kids, photos of all attended by one world employees...having us smile and laugh...then trying to sell one for $25. A souvenir shop to sell "stuff." Then the price was steep. It needs to focus on lives lost and with reverence.

      While this ticket didn’t feel like skipping the line because of the ID/vaccine status check, it still was the best way to get up to the observation deck and to dine, which has to be reserved separately through OpenTable. The dining experience would be hard to match the absolutely incredible views. We went for lunch on a clear day, and the food was excellent, too. We thoroughly enjoyed it and felt the money involved was well-spent!
