User review - Not to be missed!
Overall
We ended up going at night - which was neat - but I had wanted to go during the day so I could more readily pick out landmarks. The line to get to the elevator to go up was 45 minutes long. Then when you finally get to the security guard there are two lines for the metal detectors. TAKE THE ONE ON THE LEFT. The detector is right there. The guard will tell you both lines are the same, but the RIGHT LINE takes another 15-20 minutes to make it through to get to the detector. The line is also setup so you HAVE to get your picture taken for a souveneir photo (which we did not get) that takes up even more time. Still it is a VERY recognizable sightseeing stop and should not be missed. Try to go mid-morning to avoid some of the lines.
