Pro tips to help you make a pick

General admission tickets require selecting a specific time slot for entry. If you aren’t sure how your day will look, booking the Flexible Entry Ticket allows you to access the observation deck at a time of your choosing within operating hours.

Assistive listening devices are available on a first-come, first-served basis.Access and accessibility: Admission tickets grant access to various observation areas, but do not include the City Climb experience, which requires separate tickets and is available only for those aged 13 and older. Edge is fully wheelchair accessible, and service animals are permitted.

Keep some buffer time aside to accommodate for the long waiting times in queues, especially during peak hours and weekends when it can take up to 2 hours to enter. Visiting on weekdays in the morning during opening at 9am or early afternoon is recommended for shorter waits.

There is no time limit on how long you can stay at Edge; however, expect to spend at least 1-2 hours at the observation deck to fully enjoy the views and features.

If planning to catch the sunset, arrive at least 2 hours early due to high demand. Make sure to check daily sunset times before booking since it can vary between as early as 4:40pm on some days in January to as late as 8:30pm in June.

Carry a jacket when visiting the deck, as it can get quite chilly, especially during sunset time.

Super fast service, and the staff was totally friendly and helpful. We were lost and asked someone on the street for directions; to our surprise, she was an employee there! She took her time and led us straight to the doors, and she wasn't even working—she did it in her free time. Even though it was cloudy, the view was a very lovely experience, and the interactive light section before reaching the platform is incredibly beautiful and fun. I recommend it 100 out of 100.

Buying through the website was very convenient, but picking up the ticket at the Natural History Museum was not. We had to get in the same line as people buying tickets. We didn't think it was worth it. Unlike MoMA, where there was already a QR code. Both museums are incredible. I recommend visiting them.
