The impressive views mainly; although at the beginning it was something as spectacular as the illuminated beams, and to see how the elevator works, not to say

Spectacular sunset. The beveled glass walls are also great. The glass floor and the view downwards are somewhat disappointing.

There was too many people, maybe you should put some time limit. Because everyone wants to take a picture and to walk, to see the city from the rooftop. But there was a lot of people at same time on same place. We were not able to take a photo. Maybe time limit will solve this problem. Time limit of one hour

This was a great experience. Views are breath taking and there was no rushing you away. We could take out time to take in the views and get some pictures. Went at sunset and it was busy and plenty of people who didn't understand the concept of queuing for certain locations. The outside deck is on one corner but you can get inside views of the whole 360 degree surroundings. Longest queue was to get down but even that went quick quick. Can definitely recommend

Experience the best of New York City's art and architecture at a discount with this combo ticket to the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Edge Observation Deck.

Whitney Museum of American Art

The Whitney Museum of American Art is known for its focus on 20th and 21st-century American art. Extensive collections from artists like Edward Hopper, whose iconic pieces reflect urban American life, and Alexander Calder, famed for his innovative mobiles adorn the museum. It also hosts temporary exhibitions exploring current issues and trends in the art world. Encounter a range of mediums, from painting and sculpture to video installations and digital art. The museum's design by architect Renzo Piano features open galleries and outdoor terraces that offer views of the Hudson River and downtown Manhattan.

Edge Observation Deck

Head to Hudson Yards to experience the Edge Observation Deck. The Edge stands out for its unique architectural design, including a glass floor to look directly down at the streets below. The observation deck offers a view of landmarks like the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and even the distant outline of the Brooklyn Bridge. Enjoy access to the champagne bar, making it a great spot to relax and take in the views. The deck’s location in Hudson Yards also means you’re just steps away from other attractions like The Vessel and high-end shopping and dining options, making it easy to discover more.
