One World Trade Center Observatory

The Observatory on the World Trade Center is spread over three floors, 100, 101 and 102. The skypod elevators that take you to the 100th floor is one of the fastest elevators in the world. As you ride up the elevator, LED screens bring the history of New York to life. Once you reach the observatory, you will be greeted by stunning views of the city. On certain days, the view is clear up to 50 miles.

Views include Manhattan, Brooklyn, New Jersey and the Atlantic Ocean. Another popular feature of the observatory is the Sky Portal, a platform that offers views of the ground below and makes you feel like you’re walking on air.
