I think it’s worth it to splurge on the express pass if you can; it's a time-saver. I saved nearly an hour, which I used for exploring the area.

Don’t forget to check out the exhibits on the 2nd floor while you wait for the elevator. They give you some cool insights into the building's history.

My advice is to visit around sunset. The views are absolutely magical and you'll get both day and nighttime city vibes in one go.

If you go on a weekday instead of the weekend, it’ll likely be less crowded. I went on a Tuesday and it was a totally different experience compared to the weekend.

If you're looking for great sunset views try to be there around 6 PM. The colors are amazing and the crowds thinned out a bit later.

I think visiting during the weekdays is way better if you can swing it. The weekends were packed, making it harder to enjoy the view.

I think taking the stairs down from the Skydeck really added to my experience - plus you’ll avoid that elevator wait. Just be ready for a little leg workout!

I had the best time taking pictures on The Ledge, but it’s super popular, so make sure you keep an eye on your time to snap those shots before it gets crowded!

I suggest going on a weekday if you can. The lines are way shorter and you can really take your time enjoying the views without heaving crowds everywhere!

Check the weather before you go. A clear day makes all the difference; I went on a cloudy day, and the views weren’t great

I recommend visiting the observation deck right when it opens at 9 AM. It's way less crowded, and you can enjoy the views without fighting for a spot.

grab a drink or snack at the café up there; prices are steep, but it's a great way to soak in the view while you recharge.

My advice is to take your time on the observation deck – don’t rush through it. The sunset views are stunning if you can stick around until then.

My advice is to bring a good camera. The Chrysler Building is a photo lover's dream, especially around sunset when the lighting gives it this amazing glow.

If you wanna have fun, try and find a good spot to view the building from the street. There's this little park across the street that’s perfect for selfies!

I suggest visiting around 10 AM to avoid the big crowds. It really makes a difference in enjoying the view without feeling rushed. Plus, the morning light is perfect for pics!

My advice is to visit during the weekdays around 2 PM. It’s way less crowded, and you can enjoy the views without bumping into loads of other tourists. Plus, you’ll have a better shot at snagging a few awesome rooftop pics!

I think you should check out the area around the Pyramid before heading inside. There are some great photo ops and hidden gems nearby that you might miss if you just focus on the building. Trust me, the extra time is worth it!

My advice is to check if any special events are happening in the area before you go. I found out about a rooftop bar nearby that was a complete hidden gem but I missed it because I didn't look ahead.
