My 11 yr old son and I had a wonderful time on our visit to The Empire Building. It was educational and informative for my son. Every employee was helpful, polite and made our experience a one to remember.

It's been 9 years since our last visit and was pleasantly surprised by the upgrades in that time. We loved the photos relating to the building of the ESB. The varying coloured lights are a spectacular view from wherever you see them in the city.
These tickets are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
Get that Empire State of Mind!
You'll also agree that New York City is worth writing songs about when you see it from the observatory deck of the Empire State Building. Before you get there, let the iconic building surprise you with little (big) treats along the way. The entryway is a spectacle, with a grand staircase leading to an impressive two-story building model and a captivating LED exhibit about its celebrity-driven light shows.
Venture through the newly unveiled 2nd-floor exhibits to know exactly how the building gained its fame as a pop culture icon. Explore the Opening Day, King Kong, and Celebrity Exhibits, and take in the grandeur of the restored Art Deco lobby.
See NYC, all of it
1050 feet high, on the 86th-floor awaits unparalleled views of the Big Apple. It's strangely calming to see New York's busy streets alongside its soothing waterbodies, all under a majestic skyline. Say hello to all your favorite spots: Central Park, Times Square, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, and everything else.
Higher? Okay!
Upgrade your tickets to visit the 102nd-floor observatory deck, the highest viewing spot open to the public. On clear days, you can even see six states from one point, 80 miles into the distance.
