Take in the city from the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere with a visit to One World Observatory. From the moment you step into the high-speed SkyPod elevator, which whisks you to the 102nd floor in under a minute, the experience is as much about the journey as the view. Enjoy sweeping 360-degree views of the skyline, Hudson River, and beyond, plus immersive exhibits like the Global Welcome Center and City Pulse, where guides share stories and insights about the city below.

Explore all three observatory levels, take in a heart-pounding intro in the SEE FOREVER Theater, and, if hunger hits, stop by the café or full-service restaurant on the 101st floor. Timed ticket entry keeps things smooth and stress-free, letting you skip long lines and enjoy more of the view. Whether it's your first time in NYC or your tenth, the Observatory offers a fresh perspective every time.
