      What you can expect

      At the Empire State Building Observation Deck, the skyline is not just what you see; it’s what you feel.

      Voted the #1 Top Attraction in the US in TripAdvisor’s 2026 Travellers’ Choice Awards: Best of the Best Things to Do, Empire State Building Observation Deck is a must-visit New York experience and the best way to take in the city from above.

      Begin your visit with immersive museum galleries that bring the building’s storey to life, from its innovative construction and Art Deco design to its current place in pop culture, all before you step outside.

      Then head up to the 86th Floor Observation Deck, an open-air experience in the heart of Manhattan with sweeping 360 views. From Central Park to the Brooklyn Bridge, see the city’s most famous landmarks from a perspective unlike any other.

      For an even more elevated experience, upgrade to the 102nd Floor Observation Deck. Recently reimagined with floor-to-ceiling windows, it offers stunning views with visibility up to 80 miles on a clear day.

      If you're are short on time, choose an Express Ticket for priority access and the fastest way to the top.

      A trip to the Empire State Building Observation Deck defines your New York visit. Whether it is your first time or your tenth, the Empire State Building connects you to the energy, history, and ambition that make New York City unforgettable.
