Absolutely loved it, been before about 20 yrs ago, but they have added to the experience, and I went all the way up to the 102 with my husband. Full review by jolouie77

Q:
If I buy a ticket for 4:30 and its more expensive due to sunset - is it guaranteed I will see the sunset? I hate to pay more and miss because of waiting in a line. Also - do they allow strollers?
A:
Go early, when visiting in September for the sunset, we did not have any line. We walked right to the top. You can go an hour early and get up there and wait out the sunset.
