Lots of photo ops here from different angles and in the outdoor section, there's some balcony seating. There's a glass floor window to the bottom, nerve wracking if you have a fear of heights. On a windy day, terrifying! I couldn't even sit on it. Overall, a great experience. There seem to be a few more of these high view point experiences besides the Empire State Building popping up in NYC. Definitely check it out while you are visiting.

I was very disappointed with Edge. Originally, I had wanted to do the City Climb experience, but…read morethey were doing renovations to it, and it wasn't available. In hindsight, it was for the best. As it was, I paid extra for priority access, which allows you to skip the lines. But there was no line to get in, and no line for the elevator up. There was a line for the elevator down that I got to skip, but it was only about 10 people, so I basically saved 5 minutes. The whole experience took me about 15-20 minutes. With Top of Rock, you've got the beam, the lift, and the short fun little movie at the beginning, with Empire, you have the historical aspect of it, and with Summit 1, you have the ballroom. There's nothing special or drawing to Edge. The views are ok, but the deck is on the smaller side of the ones I've been to. Security was a little rude and off-putting. The first security guard said I set the alarm off and sends me over to the side. That guy waves me through, then the original guy starts freaking out for me to stop. I go back to the 2nd, and I'm like you waived me through, and he just keeps saying it's ok. And pawing at my stuff, mind I had a clear bag so you see everything in case I set an alarm off. Anyway, It better be ok, I went to stop, and YOU waived me through. Overall, of the observation decks I've done, Edge has been the worst. 1. Top of the Rock 2. Summit 1 3. One Times Square 4.

It was very interesting. When we got to the top, there was also a watch party for the Knicks so we kinda got lost. So we decided to follow other people and headed to the top floor. The views was amazing and got a few beautiful photos, but it was crowded. There was a lot of people. I think this was cool to do, but definitely not sure if it was worth it? You can pay extra to sit on a beam where the photo looks like you're over the edge like that iconic photo of the workers when building this structure. Or here's also like a circular elevator that goes up higher for a 360 degrees view. I'm glad the kids enjoyed it because I was "meh" about it. I felt like it was a Tourist trap for sure, Lol.

We went around 9am so it wasn't crowded at all, no lines. I got a few good shots of the kids with no one in the background. Perfect right!? The see through glass was crazy! Just don't look down if you're afraid of heights. I like that they took photos of us because I'm usually the one taking photos and never in it. I ended up buying all the photos, I can't remember how much it was. I think 25$? And you get all of the photos to download. The views were beautiful. You can see the entire city. I bet it looks hella cool during nighttime with all the buildings lit up. The staff were very nice and friendly. I like the entire vibe I felt. It was such a cool activity to do with the kids. Very well organized. Totally worth it! I recommend going in the mornings or maybe late at night!

Located on top of One Vanderbilt next to Grand Central Terminal, the attraction offers incredible panoramic views of the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Central Park, and the Manhattan skyline. The mirrored rooms and floor-to-ceiling glass walls create a unique experience that feels very different from other observation decks in New York. We purchased tickets that included SUMMIT Ascent, the all-glass exterior elevator that takes you even higher above the city. The ride was short but exciting, and the views were spectacular. One useful tip for visitors is to book tickets in advance, especially around sunset, as it is one of the most popular times to visit.

In 19th century London, a crackpot Victorian engineer named Alexander Stanhope St. George dreamed…read moreup an undersea tunnel to serve as a speedy traffic conduit from London to New York. (He hated travel by boat) His traffic corridor was never realized, but his enterprising great grandson Paul St. George recently discovered the mysterious blueprints of his great-grandfather's incomplete dig. The younger St. George has installed fiberoptic cables running under the Atlantic, through the completed tunnel, from the Brooklyn Bridge to London's Tower Bridge, allowing New Yorkers and Londoners to greet each other in real time, across the pond! St. George's story is so intriguing and fanciful--and it really is quite a marvel to wave at our friends over in London and see them wave back. In fact, it's so much fun to tickle our brains with St. George's fantasy, don't you dare think for a second about skype, cellphones, the internet, streaming video or other inventions of our non-Victorian age, or your creeping doubts may just ruin this enchanting tale. Go see it for yourself, until June 15th.

Since then I have called people and waved from web cams. But this was just too cool and so much fun!

It is a family in London and see the bridge in the background!. I wish it would come back!

Located at the summit of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, the observatory offers sweeping panoramic views that capture the full scale of the New York skyline. The atmosphere begins building even before reaching the top. The elevator ride itself is part of the experience, featuring a visual timeline that shows the transformation of New York City's skyline over several centuries as you ascend the tower. By the time you reach the observation level, the sense of height and perspective is already striking. The observation deck offers unobstructed views in every direction. From the windows, visitors can see landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Hudson River, and Midtown Manhattan stretching into the distance. The indoor design keeps the environment comfortable year-round while still delivering dramatic views of the city. The experience also includes interactive exhibits and multimedia displays that help visitors understand the geography, neighborhoods, and history of New York. These elements add context and depth rather than simply presenting the skyline as a visual spectacle. Service throughout the observatory felt organized and professional. Staff guide visitors efficiently through the entry process and help maintain a smooth flow even during busy periods. From a global travel perspective, One World Observatory ranks among the great urban observation decks I have visited in cities like Tokyo, Shanghai, and Dubai where skyline views become a defining part of the travel experience.
