I could have spent all day on the observation deck. This experience was amazingly breathtaking. The only downside was when trying to leave. The line to exit was wrapped around twice with no clear beginning or end. There were so many people you really could not move. In the event of an emergency, it could have ended poorly. Establishing a better exit strategy will make this experience even more magical than it already was.

The access point was not clearly marked, lines to go up and down were too long, and the observation deck too crowded to enjoy. This is a recipe for sowing bad behavior among customers, and we saw that, too. We will not come back or recommend this activity to anyone else.

Skyline at sunset was awesome! Didn't like the fact we couldn't get in in the hour time frame of our booking time like the instructions said.

NYC Helicopter Tour

Ready for a bird’s-eye view of NYC? Hop into a helicopter for a 12 to 15-minute ride that covers over nine famous landmarks. Your pilot will be your guide, telling you stories and facts about the city as you fly by the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, and more. You’ll wear noise-canceling headsets, so it’s just you and the views, plus there are optional upgrades if you want to kick the experience up a notch.

Edge Observation Deck

Head over to the Edge and step onto the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere. You'll be treated to 360° views of New York from the 100th floor, with a glass floor and angled glass walls that make for some heart-racing moments. Don’t miss stepping onto the skyline steps or peeking out from the eastern point for those perfect, panoramic city shots. And, there’s a digital souvenir photo included to remember your visit.
