CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago4/5The Edge was fantastic! But, there was a weather warning and I wanted to cancel. No one on the phone was available because it was after said time. But weather does not have a time limit. The news said it would be very very bad ( flood warning) in NY and I wanted to cancel. I checked online and you have 5 reasons to cancel. Weather is not one of them. That was scary and frustrating. I do. It know how you can resolve it- but when we went to the Edge and spoke to the lines people at the bottom- they were surprised that I could not cancel. That being said God changed the weather for us and it was amazing!!!!! Also nobody really was up their and I got to embrace NY and just loved it!!!! Such a great experience!JJennifer R
CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5✨ An AMAZING experience at The Edge in New York 🗽😍 Climbing up here and seeing Manhattan from above is simply incredible. The views are spectacular, especially with the New York skyline right in front of you. 🌆❤️ A must-see if you’re visiting New York. It’s one of those places that’s so much more impressive in person than in any photo! 📸✨EEiyad N

CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5I had not been to the Empire State Building in well over 30 years and it was a first time for my son. The staff are welcoming and particularly friendly. It was the perfect day, clear skys and mild summer temperatures. There were no crowds or lines and it was very easy to take in views from so many different angles. It was a first class experience from the entry floor to the top. Entry to exit.JJosé L
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5Hello, good morning. Sorry for the delay in replying, but I was really busy after getting back from my trip to New York. Everything was fast, everything was reliable — which is very important — and everything happened just as I had imagined. Thank you, and I will definitely use your services again at the next opportunity.
Unlock two signature NYC views in one go—Edge’s gravity-defying sky deck and the Empire State Building’s sweeping 360° panoramas from an open-air deck. Enjoy a smooth, well-paced visit across both observatories.
