The Experience
Step inside one of the world’s most recognizable landmarks with your NYC: Empire State Building Ticket – Observatory & Museum.
This experience combines panoramic city views with a closer look at the story behind an architectural icon. Your visit begins at street level with entry to the Empire State Building’s immersive museum. The galleries explore the building’s construction and place in popular culture.
Interactive displays and detailed exhibits bring the story to life before your ascent. From there, high-speed elevators carry you up to the 86th Floor Observatory.
The 86th floor features a spacious open-air observation deck with protective railings and wide sightlines. From this height, you’ll enjoy 360-degree views across Manhattan and the surrounding areas. The outdoor design allows you to feel connected to the skyline while taking photos from every angle. On clear days, visibility stretches well beyond the city.
This experience is designed to be smooth and accessible for visitors of all ages.
