Going to see the edge was amazing. The view and the ability to see landmarks such as the statute of liberty and the amazing skyline was phenomenol. We were able to see across to NJ and saw boats on the river having to go through some icy patches. The elevator was so quick we went from the third or fourth floor to the 100th floor in just a few minutes going about 20 mph. Even though it's "touristy" it was such a great experience. We went with two people who live in the city and they found it awesome too!

Because it was so cold, it was relatively quiet. Overall, the venue and experience are well done, relevant and the view exquisite

I had an appointment for 2 p.m. and I arrived. I was put on the flight very quickly. I was lucky to be with the pilot who flew very well and professionally. The explanations in flight were clear even with my low level of English. For the technical part, the Safety video was clear, the ground staff very rigorous for access to the helicopter. For the maintenance of the helicopter (being a pilot myself) you can go up with complete confidence the machines are well maintained. In conclusion I recommend

Witness NYC from the skies with this combo deal! Take a 15-min helicopter tour over the city, make your way to Edge Observatory, and take in all of the Big Apple.

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.
