Since the weathers condition suddely changed we were not able to enjoy the view and not allowed to visit the terrace part, but on the other hand we got amazed with the museum and building history. We would love to have the experience again having the opportunity to view the entire city from there.

We were staying just 5 minutes walking time from our Hotel. We arrived earlier than our allotted time. Killed the extra time checking out souvenir shops in and around the area. We were let in a few minutes before our time slot. Everyone working there was friendly. We had a great time!

We expected a guide during our visit to give a history of the building and other information relating to it. We had no tour guide, so we just read some of the information that was on display. I think a guide and one that answerd any queries as best as they could would have made our visit more enjoyable.

Your experience

Get that Empire State of Mind!

You'll also agree that New York City is worth writing songs about when you see it from the observatory deck of the Empire State Building. Before you get there, let the iconic building surprise you with little (big) treats along the way. The entryway is a spectacle, with a grand staircase leading to an impressive two-story building model and a captivating LED exhibit about its celebrity-driven light shows.

Venture through the newly unveiled 2nd-floor exhibits to know exactly how the building gained its fame as a pop culture icon. Explore the Opening Day, King Kong, and Celebrity Exhibits, and take in the grandeur of the restored Art Deco lobby.

See NYC, all of it

1050 feet high, on the 86th floor awaits unparalleled views of the Big Apple. It's strangely calming to see New York's busy streets alongside its soothing waterbodies, all under a majestic skyline. Say hello to all your favorite spots: Central Park, Times Square, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, and everything else.

Higher? Okay!

Upgrade your tickets to visit the 102nd-floor observatory deck, the highest viewing spot open to the public. On clear days, you can even see six states from one point, 80 miles into the distance.
