Hop on hop off bus tour in NYC

Amazing way to view the city with zero stress of transportation takes you to most of the major spots In the city and gives an audio history tour of every spot

Night view

Book tickets to enter from 20:10. It closes at 21:00, so the tour lasts less than an hour. The elevator will take 47 seconds to reach the 100th floor. The 360° night view is wonderful. It was just a little disappointing that the windows reflected because you can't go outdoors.

Outstanding views

Outstanding!! If you visit NYC then try and make time to visit. If you don’t like heights it’ll make you twitch but the views are with it

One world observatory

Great views but not much to do there - views of building itself are stunning - the photo taking offer isn’t worth the money

Wonderful Panoramic View of New York

I am a military veteran and I appreciated the generous admission discount they gave me and my family. On the elevator ride up they had three screens that were AI generated that showed the development each year of NYC from the 1500s to the present 2026. We were there during the World Cup Final and enjoyed the display paying homage to the event. As you can imagine the views at the top were stunning (attached)

Operator response

Thank you for visiting us! First and foremost, thank you for your service as it was an honor to welcome you and your family to the top. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the overall experience and the special World Cup Final homage display. Above all, we are so glad you were able to take in those stunning skyline views together! We look forward to welcoming you and your family back for another memorable visit in the future.

Haze was a problem

Great view but the smoke from the Canadian wildfires partially obscured what we could see. For some unexplained reason, the bar was closed.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to visit us. While it is unfortunate that the wildfire smoke affected visibility across the city, we are glad you were still able to take in the impressive views. We also appreciate your feedback, as guest perspectives help us refine our operational flow. We hope to welcome you back on a clearer day high above the skyline!
