Prepare to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in NYC in a way you never have before at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, the new observatory and immersive art installation suspended nearly 1,300 feet above the hustle and bustle of NYC. From March 16- 20, families can visit SUMMIT to celebrate St. Paddy’s with holiday activities and themed treats and beverages --perfect for those who want to take part in festivities from high above Manhattan.

While Kermit the Frog thinks “it’s not easy being green,” everyone will be seeing and seeking green at SUMMIT where visitors and locals alike will enjoy the Shamrock Scavenger Hunt, featuring 10-15 shamrocks carefully hidden throughout the immersive experience. Those with the luck of the Irish who find the shamrocks will receive SUMMIT themed prizes like gift cards, free tickets, and more. On St. Patrick’s Day, Unity, SUMMIT’s mesmerizing, animated skyscape will display a fun, green interactive visual just for the holiday.

Visitors can enjoy a variety of Irish-influenced snacks including Guinness brownies, shepherd’s pie quiche, green split lentil soup with Irish bacon or a “green sandwich” with arugula, avocado, & watermelon radish. St. Patrick’s Day themed cookies will also be available.

Families will enjoy the unique experience of SUMMIT when visiting for the holiday. It is an immersive, multi-sensory experience with its mirrored walls and floors and light elements, interactive art installations, levitation sky boxes, outdoor observation deck, and even a great glass elevator. Be sure not to miss the levitation sky boxes that allow guests to step out from the envelope of the building and stand on transparent glass 1,063 feet above Madison Avenue, with the buzz and excitement of NYC city streets directly beneath them.

SUMMIT will wow families with breathtaking views of NYC and mind bending, interactive installations. It will mesmerize and delight kids of all ages and is a must-do this St. Patrick’s holiday season and all year long.
