Visiting the Empire State Building was absolutely worth it. I purchased the Express ticket and it made a huge difference—everything felt smooth and efficient, from entry and security to getting up the elevators. I didn’t have to spend a long time waiting in lines, which let me enjoy the experience without feeling rushed or tired.

Skip the long lines and fast-track your way to the 86th Floor Observatory for breathtaking views of the New York City skyline.

Pick a time a slot of your choice to enter the building; access immersive exhibits on the 2nd and 80th floors.

Enjoy open-air unobstructed panoramic vistas of city landmarks like Central Park, Times Square, and One World Trade Center from above 1,000 feet.

Connect to the free high-speed Wi-Fi to download the complimentary multimedia app for information on surrounding landmarks.
