Start your journey under the stars
With this One World Observatory late night ticket, enjoy New York by night while you save. Begin your One World Observatory adventure with a grand entrance tailored to your home country at the Global Welcome Center. Next, a "tunnel" experience awaits. The Horizon Grid, a series of 145 multimedia screens on your right, comes alive with visuals of landmarks worldwide, like the Eiffel Tower and the Big Ben. Then the SkyPod elevators, the fastest in North America, whisk you 102 floors in just 47 seconds. See New York transform from a landscape of rolling hills to the concrete jungle you know today.
Glittering cityscapes
Stepping off the elevator, you'll be greeted by the See Forever Theater. This 2.5-minute experience uses sights and sounds to capture the city's essence – bustling streets, its landmarks, and the everyday energy of its people. As the film reaches its end, the screens lift to reveal the New York City skyline. Then, step onto the Sky Portal and gaze down to feel like you're flying over New York. Manhattan sprawls out, a grid of skyscrapers like the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and Flatiron Building. Curious about a specific area? City Pulse lets you dive deeper into New York's neighborhoods with interactive touchscreens.
