This was an awesome experience! I would consider myself a world traveler as I've been to viewing decks and buildings in 5 continents now and this has been the best bang for your buck. Most of them you just pay and go to the top but not this one! We elected to only go up to the 86th floor but even that was a great experience. The history of the building, the different movies that include the building and then being able to get our photo at the end was top notch. Highly recommend to other travelers!

The tickets were easy to redeem. The experience was great! We enjoyed learning about the history of the ESB before getting to enjoy the views. The views are incredible! We appreciated the arrows pointing in the direction of many major city attractions to look out for. The outside viewing deck was also good - it was very windy and cold the day we were there, so we didn't enjoy it as much as the indoor views.

I have been wanting to go and visit the Empire State building for years and I finally had the perfect opportunity to do so. I loved being able to see the historic building with my two children. I was impressed with how clean and organized the staff and facility was. Staff was extremely friendly and made the experience feel very comfortable.

    We were absolutely overwhelmed by the amazing experience and views from the Empire State Building. We went as high as the 86th floor and the scenic changes between daylight, sunset and the spectacular lights at nightfall were breathtaking. I couldn't stop taking pictures. It was the best and exhilarating. Highly recommend!

  • Save big with a combo ticket to two quintessential New York experiences: the Empire State Building and a sightseeing cruise to see the Statue of Liberty.

    Visit New York's most famous building

    Ascend the Empire State Building, a 102-story Art Deco masterpiece completed in 1931. From the 86th-floor observatory, 1,050 feet above street level, you'll get a bird's eye view of the city's grid layout. This National Historic Landmark has survived a B-25 bomber crash, starred in over 250 films, and held the title of the world's tallest building for four decades. Its innovative design, featuring setbacks to allow sunlight to reach the streets below, has influenced skyscraper architecture worldwide. As night falls, marvel at the building's crown illuminated by LEDs capable of displaying 16 million colors, a tradition started in 1976.

    Cruise the Hudson

    This 90-minute Hudson River cruise won't just take you through the city, but also its maritime history. Glide past the One World Trade Center, symbolizing the city's resilience, and under the Gothic Revival arches of the Brooklyn Bridge, an engineering marvel from 1883. Pause near the Statue of Liberty, a gift from France in 1886, standing as a beacon of hope for millions of immigrants who entered through nearby Ellis Island. This journey showcases New York's evolution from Dutch New Amsterdam to a global metropolis, revealing stories of immigrants, dock workers, and industries that shaped the city's identity. Elevate your cruise with snacks from the bar onboard at an extra cost and family-friendly activities.
