The buses were plentiful & a great relief at the end of a long day. We used the service several times and finished our adventure with a sunset trip along the Hudson River back to 50th street. The pre book at Empire State Building was stress free & we got right in with little wait. Will definitely suggest this to everyone I know ... We Love NYC!!

An Overhyped Experience Our visit to the Empire State Building was, unfortunately, underwhelming. While the views of New York City from the observation deck were impressive, the experience overall felt average at best. The biggest drawback was the overwhelming crowd. From the long lines to the packed observation areas, it was difficult to fully enjoy the iconic skyline. The congestion made it hard to find a good spot for photos or take in the scenery without feeling rushed. Additionally, the cost of the visit didn’t seem justified. For the price of admission, we expected a smoother and more enjoyable experience. While the historical significance of the building is undeniable, the overall visit felt more like a tourist trap than a memorable highlight. If you’re set on visiting, perhaps aim for non-peak hours or consider other observation decks in the city that may offer a better value and experience.

Everything was perfect 😍 I would highly recommend everyone to do it. The view is insane and the fact that you are on the top of Empire State Building is mind-blowing💁🏻‍♀️

Your experience

Save big with a combo ticket to two quintessential New York experiences: the Empire State Building and a sightseeing cruise to see the Statue of Liberty.

Visit New York's most famous building

Ascend the Empire State Building, a 102-story Art Deco masterpiece completed in 1931. From the 86th-floor observatory, 1,050 feet above street level, you'll get a bird's eye view of the city's grid layout. This National Historic Landmark has survived a B-25 bomber crash, starred in over 250 films, and held the title of the world's tallest building for four decades. Its innovative design, featuring setbacks to allow sunlight to reach the streets below, has influenced skyscraper architecture worldwide. As night falls, marvel at the building's crown illuminated by LEDs capable of displaying 16 million colors, a tradition started in 1976.

Cruise the Hudson

This 90-minute Hudson River cruise won't just take you through the city, but also its maritime history. Glide past the One World Trade Center, symbolizing the city's resilience, and under the Gothic Revival arches of the Brooklyn Bridge, an engineering marvel from 1883. Pause near the Statue of Liberty, a gift from France in 1886, standing as a beacon of hope for millions of immigrants who entered through nearby Ellis Island. This journey showcases New York's evolution from Dutch New Amsterdam to a global metropolis, revealing stories of immigrants, dock workers, and industries that shaped the city's identity. Elevate your cruise with snacks from the bar onboard at an extra cost and family-friendly activities.
