Skip the lines and head straight to the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere with this upgraded One World Observatory experience. Zoom up 102 floors in just 47 seconds on the SkyPod™ Elevator, catch your breath at the SEE FOREVER™ Theater, and enjoy 360-degree views that stretch across the NYC skyline. This combo ticket includes access to all levels of the Observatory, priority lane access, and the One World Explorer digital skyline guide to help identify every landmark from above.

Along the way, explore interactive exhibits like the City Pulse and Horizon Grid, or take a moment to see your name pop up at the Global Welcome Center. This ticket also comes with a $10 voucher to use toward a snack or souvenir, so you can toast the views from the 101st floor or bring something home. It’s a full-circle New York moment—from ground to sky.
