The 1,401-foot-tall skyscraper quite literally launches two thrilling experiences on October 21 that hoist guests up at least 1,000 feet in the air with only glass between them and the view.

"Ascent," is an all-glass enclosed elevator that travels up the outside of the building to 1,210 feet while "Levitation," is a series of transparent glass sky-boxes that jut out of the building at 1,000 feet above Madison Avenue. These experiences are all located across a four-level, 65,000-square-foot entertainment space on the top of One Vanderbilt.

To go along with the crazy views you'll get, Kenzo Digital is creating an immersive art installation called "Air," that will elevate the observation deck into a "transcendent and euphoric experience." The design will be unveiled this summer.

"Using materiality, lighting design, sound design, production design, and animation, Air will awaken your senses, transform your perception of New York, and reimagine your relationship to nature," said Kenzo Digital, artist and CEO of Kenzo Digital Immersive. "Air will be the ultimate example of the democratization of art - a revelatory experience regardless of age, origin, or walk of life."

Even more, the Summit features an outdoor bar and the highest urban outdoor "alpine meadow" in the world with unbeatable views of the city.

“ We have created a destination that offers an interactive experience that will be remembered for a lifetime with the best, amplified views in all of New York City. Summit One Vanderbilt is awe-inspiring, magical and needs to be experienced to be understood," said Marc Holliday, the chairman and CEO of SL Green. "It is a special, thrilling place that New Yorkers and travelers from across the country and the world will want to visit time and time again."
