New York's most iconic attraction rises nearly 1,500 feet above Manhattan and has appeared in numerous Hollywood productions including King Kong, An Affair to Remember and Sleepless in Seattle. The Observatory on the 86th floor of the Empire State Building offers some of the best 360-degree panoramic views of Manhattan and beyond: on a clear day you can see for nearly 80 miles, with five states in sight: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts. The Observatory features a heated, glassed-in area surrounded by an outdoor terrace, equipped with high-powered binoculars.
In addition to the stunning observatory, your Empire State Building tickets also give you access to the renovated and recently opened Empire State Building Galleries. This hands-on, walk-through museum experience offers a glimpse into the building's history and unique mystique. Explore the following exhibits: The Site in the 1920s, Construction, Opening Day, Otis Elevators, The World's Most Famous Building, King Kong, and Celebrity.
If all of the above isn't enough for you, look for the newly opened 80th Floor Observatory. Opening in late 2019, here you can enjoy 360-degree views from inside via the building's historic viewfinders, watch films from the archives, and create your own personalized, digitized Big Apple itinerary with the all-new "NYC: Above & Beyond " "show.
Visit by day and see New York in all its splendor, or for a more romantic experience, visit by night and watch the illuminated city twinkle.
