I was disappointed that the Vessel is still closed. I've seen pictures of the interior, and I'm sure I would've gotten a different experience had I been able to enter the Vessel and seen the 360 degree views of the city from it. Regardless, it was astounding to see the structure from outside. The sculpture looks otherworldly. It definitely is quite the centerpiece at Hudson Yards; I saw it from far and next thing I knew, I was being pulled straight toward it.

Beautiful and unique architecture display. Unfortunately, no one was allowed to walk the steps anymore. Regardless, it was still a great location to take pictures, selfies, Instagram, etc. A definite visit with any NYC trip.

Vessel is a structure and visitor attraction built as part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project in Manhattan. It is 16 stories and 150 feet tall. It is an incredible work of art! It is a spiral staircase and its bronze color makes it look even more amazing. It is located in the area called Hudson Yards. We walked a the High Line to get to it but we could not climb up as it was closed! We could only enter the ground floor! Still the whole thing was absolutely spectacular. Definitely worth a visit.

Very stunning art piece. Free to go into, and the line was not that long; took about 5-10 minutes to get inside. Once inside, there's very limited time to take pictures. There are several staircases you can go up, but only to one level. The security guards/workers try to keep the flow of people continuous, so there's not too much time to take pics inside. Very beautiful piece of art that is free to enjoy!

The Vessel is a really neat structure to see. It will most likely be closed from walking to the top for the rest of time due to unfortunate incidences. Here's some facts about the Vessel to peak your interest. The structure of 16 stories costs around 200 million dollars. Consists of 154 interconnecting flights of stairs. The staircase is made of bronzed-steel and concrete. Majority of the structure was fabricated in Italy. It was built as an attraction to capture the world's attention. It even has an elevator on the located on the inside of the structure. Had a limit of holding 1,000 people at a time.

I can't believe the vessel is closed! Unfortunate the reason why but this super cool attraction was amazing to be a part of. When I first saw it, it looked like a true beehive. The best part was being able to climb the stairs and see the city in every angle I was at. Nonetheless I feel like despite not being able to climb stairs, seeing it is already startling.

We took the High Line to Hudson Yards and we saw the Vessel from the park as we were approaching Hudson Yards. It looks really cool from the High Line. As we came off the highline we started entering a larger space which looked like a park which was surrounded by offices, residences, a mall and I believe what's the largest outdoor observation deck in North America. There were also a handful of food trucks outside the Vessel. As we got close to the Vessel we noticed it looked like it was closed as there was a chain link on the entrance of it. We walked up and didn't see anybody around. We decided to do a walk around to check it out and it looks like a pretty cool walk up if it was open. It doesn't look like it serves any other purpose besides just being a structure you can walk up. The views from up top must be great as the Hudson Yards area has really been built up and there has to be a great view of the river.

It is really sad that this attraction and interactive art piece is closed even more sad as to the reason why. We were not aware of this, of course, until we got there and ultimately decided we didn't want to walk all around the structure due to the high level of walking we were already doing being in NYC. Seeing the structure was beautiful all in itself, so we weren't upset about not climbing all the stairs. Even with being closed, spending time around the art piece at different times of the day gives you gorgeous different views, especially during Christmas time with all the trees around the piece lit up. Wish I had the time to go back and take those pictures at night. Maybe one day, they will be able to design some additional safety measures that wouldn't subtract to the views or designs of the piece. You can walk around the bottom level, but I did read that during the winter months, even that is closed. Regardless, it's still an amazing structure, and I am glad we got to see it in person.

I always pass by here when I'm going to work but never had the chance to stop and enjoy it. The other night my daughter and I went to an event and had a couple of minutes to stop by. It's beautiful at night, plenty of people around wandering and enjoying the view. We didn't need tickets for the bottom floor, they allowed us to walk around but people were saying that it is not allowed to go all the way to the top anymore for safety reasons! It's a nice view and would definitely recommend passing by at least once to experience!

I ordered and paid for a product over 22 days ago. Unfortunately, I haven't received a shipping confirmation yet. My requests come to nothing. I have the feeling I've fallen for a fake shop.

Since my initial visit & review this attraction has gone through some unwanted changes u are no longer allowed to go up unfortunately due to suicides sad to say. Who knows if & when it will reopen but my guess is not any time soon. If u had the chance to visit & go up u will at least have the memory it was a beautiful view from the top. Conveniently accessible by the 7 train as this leaves u front & center. Now the area is used for mainly viewing as well as promotional events & if u like high end shopping this is certainly an area for it. My most recent visit was during the holidays & they really put some nice work into it, the entire area is lit up & it just looks amazing. Overall The Vessel has become an NYC staple & whether u agree it's cool to see or think what's the point of this thing? It's there & not Likely going any where so why not take the time & check it out. I'd say it's worth a visit specially during the holidays.

A cool photo stop and place to see. Purely art at this point since you are not currently allowed to walk up to the top. There are walkways up to higher levels that they may someday open up again. A neat stop if near hudson yard.

Stopped by the vessel the other day for the first time and it is so pretty! I'm really sad you can't go up it anymore, but they were letting us in the very bottom of it with no tickets needed. There was also not a line for it so we just walked right in and out. We stopped by in the daytime before going into hudson yards and then got to see it again at night when we left. It's got some lights around it right now for the holidays so it was really pretty in the evening as well! A cool but quick stop!

Very cool structure to view. Felt kinda silly to go inside since you can't do much. It's cool to look at from the outside but that's all.
