I loved that the ticket was available for our first event. When we were here years ago, we had to pick up the tickets and have them validated. Technology has really made this part great! It was easy to get there and go. We enjoyed the Islands very much!

A Truly Memorable NYC Experience! Our visit to the Edge at Hudson Yards was unforgettable. The moment we stepped onto the deck, we were blown away by the panoramic views of the city. Standing on the glass floor and looking straight down was both thrilling and surreal and a little scary 😊 The design of the deck is impressive and gives you the feeling of being suspended in the sky. High glass walls protect you from the wind - and the day we visited was very windy. We had VIP tickets, skipped the lines and never felt rushed or crowded - so worth it! It’s a unique way to experience New York from above, and we’re so glad we made the time for it. Highly recommended for anyone looking to see the city from a whole new perspective!
