I had a good time, there are good prices. I also bought tickets on this site for the parks in Orlando, and tickets for a Broadway show. There had been a problem with the Orlando parks, they had sent me the same ticket for several different parks, but with a little bit of effort in chat support, they were able to send them to me and everything was ok.

There was a seamless check in. The staff were welcoming& friendly. They guided me through the journey with adequate information like the path, time to get up with the elevator. I appreciate simple gestures. I've visited the edge twice. This time in the winter they informed me of the conditions but I went ahead because they were kind enough to inform me.

We arrived a bit early went straight in. The line wasn't that long and we moved fast. The lifts are brilliant and the platform takes your breath away. All the staff were brilliant and I would highly recommend it to anyone, infs t I already have. It's a must if you visit New York. Paul corker England

    I loved visiting The Edge, it has a very interesting immersive part. I loved the pink and yellow bananas. Going out to see the city from above was impressive, it leaves you speechless. We enjoyed it very much!

    The ferry ride and self guided tours of the SOL and Ellis Island were fun. Disappointed that the ticket did not include the pedestal. I thought when I read before booking included the pedestal. The Edge was great yet windy and cold.
  • 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 360Β° 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.
