Empire State Building Observatory
Whether you’re new to the Big Apple, or whether you’re a typical New Yorker, you’ve heard about the stunning views from the Empire State Building Observatory. Step into the lobby of ESB and take in the Art Deco ceiling murals.
The elevator ride top takes you to the 86th floor main deck - the highest open-air observatory in NYC. See the lush green Central Park, the blue Hudson flowing under the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty from this incredible vantage point. Look down and you can see Times Square and the people move down below on the streets.
The Empire State Building ticket not only gives you access to the legendary New York landmark but it also allows you to soar 1,049 Ft (320 m) high and enjoy a magnificent 360-degree open-air view of New York City. It also gives you access to the new second-floor galleries immersing guests in a series of exhibits, taking you on an experiential journey from the building’s construction to its current place in pop culture. Explore their new Site in the 1920s, Construction, Opening Day, Modern Marvel, Otis Elevators, World’s Most Famous Building, King Kong and Celebrity Exhibits!
Don’t forget to download the self-guided multimedia tour from the 'Empire State Building Experience' App. The app has 9 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Portuguese, Japanese and Korean.
Top of the Rock
The only view that comes close to that from the ESB, is from Top of the Rock Observation deck. Zoom upto the 67th and 69th floors, these floors are glass-protected to give you unobstructed views of the city. You can actually 'touch' the past - from original artifacts to a 'beam walk' that simulates the experience of the construction workers more than 70 years ago. A high-speed Summit Shuttle will then transport you to the three-story viewing area whilst displaying a spectacular historical multimedia presentation inside. The highlight of your visit is on the open air Top of the Rock Observatory, located on the 70th floor. The indoor and outdoor viewing areas give you stunning views of popular landmarks such as Freedom Tower, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and more.
