Really enjoyed the experience and the view, despite the rain and clouds. Axel and the rest of the staff were awesome. I did not leave enough time between leaving the 9/11 museum and getting up to the top of the freedom tower to make our reservation so I missed the introductory entertainment to the freedom tower, you probably need 30 or 40 minutes to go through the tour. My group had a prepaid option through OpenTable, that included an appetizer, entrée, a beverage and entry into the observatory. It was an excellent deal for the experience. just make sure you leave enough time to thoroughly enjoy the 9/11 museum, it was much larger than I expected
