There’s also a museum on the 2nd floor, dedicated to the building’s history. The main deck, an indoor and outdoor space on the 86th-floor observatory, as well as the newly renovated, fully enclosed glass 102nd-floor observation deck. There’s not one, but two popular observation decks at the Empire State Building.
Even then, as it is now today, the Empire State Building observation decks are bucket list activities for when people come to New York City. Once the tallest building in the world, it held the title for 40 years, until it was surpassed in 1970 by the construction of another famous New York building, the World Trade Center. In the early years after its finish, it earned the nickname “Empty State Building” because many of its office floors were unoccupied. It’s is a beautiful, historical symbol of New York City.Ĭonstruction started on the building in 1930 and was completed in just over a year. Next on the list of the best observatories in New York City-The Empire State Building. Empire State Building tickets: For 102nd and 86th floors access, as well as the 2nd-floor Museum – Adults $72, Children $66, Seniors $70.(last elevator to the top leaves at 1:15 a.m.) Address: 20 W 34th St, New York, NY 10001.Spend the afternoon with 360-degree views at One World Observatory–using my tips for visiting the 9/11 Memorial–then head to the Museum at 3:30 p.m. on Mondays, the 9/11 Memorial Museum is free. For significant savings, visit on Mondays! From 3:30 p.m. The best time to visit One World Observatory is midday with clear skies. It’s one thing to see New York during the day, it’s quite another sight to see the taillights illuminating Fifth Avenue and the brightest point of light halfway up, Times Square. When I visited this New York City observatory last, it was after dark.

Pro Tip: Since the whole observatory is inside, visiting One World Observatory is a great option if you’re in NYC on a rainy day! On a clear day, it really feels like you can see forever. From its spot on the southern tip of Manhattan, you can actually see the curves of the whole island from the indoor observation deck. Located in the Financial District, the amazing views from the top are unmatched. One World Trade Center is the tallest building on this side of the Atlantic Ocean. It seems like guests tend to forget about the view from the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.
Although you won’t be outside, you can see the same panoramic views from the bar with a cocktail in hand. If you want to skip the entry fee, head instead to Bar Sixtyfive, Top of the Rock’s bar just a few floors below the observation deck. It’s also close enough to Central Park to enjoy a sweeping view of the park in all its splendor. Instead of observing the former RCA building from the Empire State Building, you get a clear picture of the iconic skyscraper from Top of the Rock. Its view gives a unique vantage point of the city. Passes included in: The Sightseeing Pass, CityPASS, CityPASS C3, New York Pass, The Explorer PassĮven though you won’t find Liz Lemon wandering the halls of 30 Rock, the Top of the Rock in Rockefeller Center is our first option for the best observatories in New York City.Top of the Rock tickets: General Admission Pricing – Adults $38, Children (6-12) $32, Seniors (62+) $36.– Midnight (last elevator to the top leaves at 11:00 p.m.) Address: 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10112.
