5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
If you're going for sunset go on the earlier side.. I'd give yourself a full 45 min before sunset. Definitely pretty touristy. Pro tip- if you're going to the lounge DON'T take one of the seats directly in front of the window.. unless you don't mind people reaching over/between you, trying to get a photo. Overall a GREAT view of the city!
5/5 - Excellent

Go for lunch- one floor below the deck and with fabulous views. By the time the lookout price is subtracted, the food tab was manageable.
5/5 - Excellent

Go to the signature lounge bar for a quick drink or snack and enjoy the view!

Bar 94 glasses are available for purchase downstairs, if not on the top (gift shop)
3/5 - Okay

Long lines, and its better to go to it’s bar instead of tilt! Bar is located on a higher floor that Tilt! And you do not need to stay 2 hours in line.

Enter building by way of the outdoor patio below the street level. Pay the $8 for "The Tilt"
