Overview
Soaring 1,454 feet above Midtown Manhattan from base to antenna, the Empire State Building (ESB) is the World’s Most Famous Building. Our 86th Floor Observation Deck, open daily , offers the highest 360 degree open-air vantage point in New York City and on a clear day, you can see up to six states–New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Located at the center of it all, the Empire State Building is an easy walk from Times Square and just steps to Macy’s, Madison Square Garden and Penn Station.
Starting with the spectacular new entrance which opened last August, the second floor galleries allow guests to walk through a museum experience and enjoy a journey into The Empire State Building history and mystique.

Wow you can't beat an iconic building. It's not just about going to the top but the experiance before you even get to the lift.o visited 30 years ago it hasn't changed at the top. Would highly recommend go city passes as straight through to scan no queues

Book tickets in advance - takes 10-15 minutes to get from security up to the 86th floor. Views from 86th floor are fantastic, not sure if it is worth purchasing the more expensive ticket to go up to the 102nd floor. Plenty of areas to take photos outside. Check weather forecast before going - if it's overcast/cloudy, visibility is not great and you won't be able to see views of Manhattan.

It was pretty foggy the morning that we went. It was nice to have the Christmas backdrop scene to take photos. We still could see important landmarks, just had to be patient and wait for the fog to blow off.

Went to the 86th floor observation deck. Was here in another decade. Glad I came back. This time I went at night, which was cool because of the lights. Best of all, there was absolutely no wait or crowds. I don’t know if COVID contributed to that or not. If you have never been, I would try and visit.

Great experience, seamless, interesting new exhibits. Even on a foggy day, my 8 year old and I loved it!

Love this building. Everything was so well organised so no time lost waiting to get in. The staff were dressed very smartly and so efficient. The whole place shone.

Amazing views is an understatement… you get a 360° view of New York City that does not disappoint.. we did the general admission for the 80th and 102nd floor… The 80th floor is all enclosed with large windows that allow you to view the city but but the main attraction is going to be at the top where you can actually exit the building and get even better, unobstructed views… they had fast passes available but honestly the line went pretty fast. I think we waited around 25 minutes but while you wait, there are large windows that allow you to see the city… A must see!

What can I say? What a fabulous experience from start to finish. A huge thank you to Angelo who honoured express passes for my family and I from a visit a couple of years ago. First class service all the way. Amazing must see views from the top. Even the windy weather didn’t spoil any part of it. The king kong exhibition is new since our last visit which only adds to the whole amazing attraction. An NYC must see. Thank you again Angelo. You’re the best!!
