How to Visit SUMMIT One Vanderbilt: Ticket Options You can also get here by taxi, by Uber or Lyft, or on foot. The closest subway lines are 4, 5, 6, and 7. Take the escalator to the basement floor and follow signs to the entrance. This is right next to Grand Central Terminal. You can also enter at street level at 45 East 42nd street, between Vanderbilt and Madison Avenues. At this point, you can also follow signs to SUMMIT or just look for the entrance line (it can get quite long). Once in One Vanderbilt, turn left to get to the entrance of SUMMIT. The hallway has “Subway 42nd St” written above it. The Vanderbilt Passage is on the same level as this photo was taken. You will be on the basement level of One Vanderbilt. If you are standing in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station, look for signs that read “Ticket Machines, Subway, 42nd Street.” Enter this passage and the next sign will read “Subway Shuttle Passage” and this is immediately followed by “Vanderbilt Ave 42nd & 43rd Street.” Continue straight to enter One Vanderbilt. Since this passage is not easily identifiable from the Main Concourse, here are directions on where to go. From the Main Concourse, you will enter One Vanderbilt through the Vanderbilt Passage. The entrance to SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is located on the Main Concourse Level of Grand Central Terminal.

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt opened on October 21, 2021. Created by Kenzo Digital, these mirrored rooms, glass sky boxes, and interactive areas combine to form a fully immersive art experience with some of the best views of the city. On these three floors is an art installation called Air. SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is located on the top three floors of One Vanderbilt. It’s also one of the top 30 tallest buildings in the world. At 1,401 feet, this is the fourth tallest skyscraper in New York City (One World Trade Center, Central Park Tower, and 111 W 57th Street are taller). SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is located at the top of One Vanderbilt.

How to Visit SUMMIT One Vanderbilt: Ticket Options.

In this guide, we share everything you need to know about how to visit SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, from great photo spots, to how to get your tickets, and tips to have the best experience. All of the photos in this guide were taken during our November 2021 visit to the SUMMIT. We learned a lot from our visits and now we can pass that information on to you. On our most recent visit to New York City (April 2022) we visited for our third time, arriving at 9 am. We were here both at sunset and during the morning hours. Our first time here was in November, just a few days after SUMMIT opened. SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is an entirely different experience than what you get at One World Observatory, the Edge, the Empire State Building, or Top of the Rock… a good thing, since these visits can be pricey, so they need to offer unique experiences. Located on the top three floors of one of the tallest skyscrapers in Manhattan is an immersive, multi-sensory experience with art installations, floor to ceiling mirrors, and of course, BIG views. SUMMIT One Vanderbilt takes the experience to a whole different level. The main reason to visit an observation deck is for the view.
