An absolutely spectacular experience and worth every penny. The views are breathtaking and truly one of a kind—you can see the entire city laid out beneath you. Visiting at night makes it even more special, with the city lights creating an unforgettable atmosphere at the top of the world’s capital. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which made the experience even better from start to finish. From the moment you arrive to the time you leave, everything feels well organized and thoughtfully done. A must-see attraction in NYC and an experience I would highly recommend to anyone visiting.

We purchased skip the line tickets and they worked out great. We visited on a Sunday and the crowd was very light which made for a more enjoyable experience. The team worked very hard and efficiently to keep everyone moving. At the top they have an awesome surprise when you get off the elevator (WOW). Once you get started on your self guided tour you can see some amazing views along with plenty of informative information posted. I definitely recommend going.

Love the experience at One World Observatory and 9/11 Memorial & Museum. The 9/11 Memorial & Museum was a very meaningful and heartbreaking experience. Especially having an in-depth knowledge behind the building and construction of the Twin Towers and also the stories of the survivors and those who have perished from the 9/11 attack. The One World Observatory was a wonderful experience. It was a breathtaking experience to see the 360 view from the top.
