The last observation tower built in New York in the most beautiful and sad area. Below the observatory we find many points of interest including the national september 11 memorial and museum. The observatory deserves the ticket price. It is a unique experience from the moment you enter. Along the way, a lot of information is distributed in a truly suggestive location. Even the graphics on the elevator and then on the 102nd floor entrance are absurd. And when the curtains are raised, the view is priceless. A 365 ° view of New York, the other skyscrapers, the Brookling bridge and everything else. Crazy to do in the late afternoon in order to see all the colors of the sky and then all the lights of this night New York that is truly fantastic.

There is a short historical story of the construction while you are on line for the elevator. The elevator itself is a "virtual experience". The walls of the elevator are actually large video screens that initially show Manhattan island in prehistoric times, and time advances to the present as the elevator goes up. For the most part you are paying for the view at the top which is worth it. Depending on weather conditions of course.

ana silva | Sep 26, 2018
Adrian Nah | Sep 26, 2018

Go to the website. Whatever it is my advise is choose the vip. Especially if the weather is fine you may face a long line of queue amd it is like the airport style security screening. So to really avoid wasting time and that hassle just buy the vip tickets. Why? Coz it is less time wasted there and you can use the extra time that you have in a given day to perhaps see other things in New York city. With the guide you get a shorter queue. Take a look at the queue at statue of liberty as an example.
