It was a breeze—we just had to scan our tickets, the staff was super friendly, and we didn't wait more than 3 minutes before heading up. We went around 6:50 p.m., just in case :)

Thank God, the experience here was great, and there were no hitches at all. After what happened with the Summit tickets, I was expecting some kind of setback, but that wasn't the case.

I purchased my tickets ahead online. It was fast smooth and easy. Although watching the sunset was beautiful, it seemed to be the most popular time to go. There were way too many people to really get good pics.

Edge completely blew me away! The views of NYC are absolutely unreal, and stepping onto the glass floor was both thrilling and a little scary in the best way. Booking with Headout made everything so easy—no stress, no waiting, just smooth entry and clear instructions. It honestly made the whole experience even better. This was easily one of the highlights of my trip, and I’d 100% recommend it to anyone visiting NYC!

Edge is simply a must-see!!! Stunning views of the entire city, an absolutely incredible experience—I managed to take so many great photos. They closed off part of the outdoor deck, but that didn’t stop me from taking excellent photos. Vessel is also great for taking photos from high up with a view. And it’s quite different!

    Saw an IG post and is impressed by the view and paid a premium for 7:30pm sunset observations Somehow disappointed by the crowd control because they allow timing from 7pm - 7:30pm to the deck and there is no time limit. The crowd is bad and unable to have a space for photo taking.

  • Take in New York City from 1,100 feet above Hudson Yards as you step out onto Edge, the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, with timed entry to keep your visit stress-free.

    Getting started

    Arrive at Hudson Yards and follow the signs up to Edge’s entrance. After clearing security, you’ll move through an immersive multimedia gallery that explains how the neighbourhood and skyscraper were built before boarding the high-speed sky pod elevator to Level 100.

    What to expect

    Edge Observation Deck

    This ticket gives you access to Edge’s indoor observation level and outdoor sky deck on the 100th floor, plus unique viewing spots like the Glass Floor, Skyline Steps, and Eastern Point. With your chosen time slot, you avoid long ticket queues and can focus on soaking up 360° views of Manhattan, the Hudson River, and beyond at your own pace.

    Features

    • Immersive intro to Hudson Yards: Start with a short multimedia experience on Level 4 that walks you through the transformation of Hudson Yards, from rail yard to futuristic neighbourhood.

    • Sky pod elevator ride: Ride to the 100th floor in about 52 seconds, watching digital visuals build the skyline around you as you climb.

    • Indoor & outdoor viewing areas: Wander the floor-to-ceiling glass indoor deck, then step outside onto the suspended sky deck that juts 80 feet out from the building.

    • Glass Floor & angled walls: Stand on the Glass Floor and look 100 stories straight down, or lean against the angled glass walls for vertigo-inducing selfies over Manhattan’s west side.

    • Signature viewpoints: Climb the Skyline Steps for elevated shots of the Empire State Building, then walk to Eastern Point to stand in a glass corner surrounded by open sky on three sides.

    • Flexible upgrade options: Upgrade to the Flex Pass for anytime access, opt for the Express Pass to skip all lines, or elevate your experience with a beverage add-on.
