One World Observatory Tickets

Our guide to One World Observatory Tickets

Start your unique experience at the One World Observatory by boarding a Sky Pod elevator and ascending in less than 60 seconds to the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere!

Accompanying the rapid journey, an incredible high-definition time lapse video plays on the glass walls of your Sky Pod elevator recreating the development of New York City’s skyline from the 1500s to today’s skyscrapers.

When you get to the top, be prepared to explore three levels filled with innovation and inspiration and, of course, the amazing panoramic views of New York City and beyond. 

See the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Woolworth Building and the Statue of Liberty. From your lofty position you can even look down on the helicopters that take tourists high over Manhattan and see just how many boats fill the surrounding water. 

If you want to complete the day with a drink, a bite to eat or dinner, One World Observatory offers three distinct options at the 101th floor, all of them with a setting that is truly and magnificently one-of-a-kind.
