The Edge Observation Deck was absolutely breathtaking! The view of the New York skyline was incredible, especially on a clear, sunny day. The glass floor and open-air deck gave such a thrilling perspective of the city below. The staff was friendly, and everything was well organized from entry to exit. Perfect spot for photos and soaking in the beauty of NYC from above. Highly recommend visiting right before sunset for the best light and views!

Excellent! I made the decision to visit with my family at 5:30 to have the view of the day and night, to see both views of the city was memorable, the service of The Edge team was exceptional, it was not necessary to wait in line, we had no delays. In my opinion it is one of the best views in NY and I recommend it to all my friends.

A Truly Memorable NYC Experience! Our visit to the Edge at Hudson Yards was unforgettable. The moment we stepped onto the deck, we were blown away by the panoramic views of the city. Standing on the glass floor and looking straight down was both thrilling and surreal and a little scary 😊 The design of the deck is impressive and gives you the feeling of being suspended in the sky. High glass walls protect you from the wind - and the day we visited was very windy. We had VIP tickets, skipped the lines and never felt rushed or crowded - so worth it! It’s a unique way to experience New York from above, and we’re so glad we made the time for it. Highly recommended for anyone looking to see the city from a whole new perspective!
