The Edge (EOD) is fantastic! unlike other sky scrappers in New York, The Edge offers an open air access to the scenic citysacape. So, you not only just SEE the city, but FEEL it too! Its unique position assures maximum city skyline and view of the nearby river too. Almost all important landmarks of NEw York are visible from EOD, marking all the boxes...checked!. It was a fan moment for me when I saw the 'New Yorker' building from the EOD, making it easy for me to go their. I had done some research before chosing EOD. Other similar attractions in the city are behind the glasses and indoor in nature. Whereas, EOD's open air ambience gallery makes it stand out. Will come again!

The Edge Observation Deck was absolutely breathtaking! The view of the New York skyline was incredible, especially on a clear, sunny day. The glass floor and open-air deck gave such a thrilling perspective of the city below. The staff was friendly, and everything was well organized from entry to exit. Perfect spot for photos and soaking in the beauty of NYC from above. Highly recommend visiting right before sunset for the best light and views!

One of the original viewing decks in Manhattan so that's why we chose it. Fantastic 360 views both 86 and 102. It's worth paying the extra to go up to 102.Great history at the Empire state and there's heaps of info and photos of it being built etc..The lady on 102 was also very friendly and knowledgeable of the area below,pointing out certain streets and helping us find our hotel. This was around 430pm on 12th September

    It wasn't fantastic, from entering the building, through the exhibitions to the top. Going up in the elevator to 80th, engaged is more in how the building was manufactured. The hard labour and skills of those workmen Well done to everyone involved
