Your ticket to incredible views across New York City and beyond...

Our guide to One World Observatory Tickets
With a gate-ready One World Observatory ticket in hand, skip the ticket line and proceed to the security check and the Sky Pod Elevator. Your unique experience at the One World Observatory starts with a rapid ascent to the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere in less than sixty seconds. 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. But first, immerse yourself in a 2-minute screening session at the See Forever Theater that presents the unique pulsating rhythm of the Big Apple in three dimensions, by combining bird’s eye imagery, time-lapse shots and patterns. As the video ends and the screen rises slowly, revealing the observation deck and the amazing panoramic views of New York City and beyond.
Head to the main Observatory on the 100th floor, also known as the Discovery Level and experience the Big Apple like never before. Enjoy breathtaking 360-degree views of the city, taking in her iconic sights and neatly lined blocks and avenues. See the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Woolworth Building and the Statue of Liberty. From your lofty position, you can also look down on the helicopters that take tourists high over Manhattan and see just how many boats fill the surrounding water.
The Main Observatory also features the expansive Sky Portal, where you can take a walk high above the streets of New York. Those brave enough can step onto a circle of video screens that deliver an unforgettable high-definition view of the streets below.
If you want to complete the day with a drink, a bite to eat or dinner, One World Observatory offers three distinct options on the 101st floor, all of them with a setting that is truly and magnificently one-of-a-kind.
