It was great overlooking the city from higher heights. Lighting on the 102nd floor was poor, so our pictures were not the greatest, regardless of the angle, window, or pixel. It was worth the wait. … Full review by Neek321

I think you should check weather apps to find out when the sunset will be. There is plenty of open space and windows to enjoy the view, but some parts of the attraction don’t have windows, so you might want to arrive a little earlier than the scheduled sunset time. I’ve seen 2-3 strollers, but it’s best to check their website or call to confirm whether strollers are allowed.
