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 American Museum of Natural History is absolutely incredible! There’s so much to explore that you could easily spend an entire day here and still feel like you’ve only scratched the surface. The exhibits are fascinating, from the massive dinosaur fossils to the stunning displays on the ocean and outer space. The museum is clean, well-organized, and truly brings science to life in the most exciting way. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and there are tons of interactive features that make it fun for all ages. The planetarium show was a highlight — breathtaking visuals and a really cool learning experience.

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!
