The Edge Observation Deck was absolutely breathtaking! The view of the New York skyline was incredible, especially on a clear, sunny day. The glass floor and open-air deck gave such a thrilling perspective of the city below. The staff was friendly, and everything was well organized from entry to exit. Perfect spot for photos and soaking in the beauty of NYC from above. Highly recommend visiting right before sunset for the best light and views!

The excitement doesn't stop when I enter the building. As you walk through the glittering hallway and take the escalators all the way to the observation floor, you will be overwhelmed by the view of New York City. The day we visited, the weather was perfect, not a cloud in the sky, so we were able to fully enjoy the clear view. It is a place you will want to visit again and again.

Excellent! I made the decision to visit with my family at 5:30 to have the view of the day and night, to see both views of the city was memorable, the service of The Edge team was exceptional, it was not necessary to wait in line, we had no delays. In my opinion it is one of the best views in NY and I recommend it to all my friends.
