At The Top Of The World

Talk about a room with a view!

Starting on May 29, the best place to see all of New York City (and beyond) will be One World Observatory.  At a height of 1,250 feet (nearly a quarter mile in the sky), this new, highly anticipated, three-level attraction at One World Trade will offer unrivaled, breathtaking panoramic vistas —and a lot more.

Visitors can ride up in some of the fastest elevators in the world, watch a pre-show called “See Forever,” immerse themselves in the history of the creation of the building and take a variety of audio tours in numerous languages that are tailored to adults, children and different groups.

Tickets are on sale now but are limited. They start at $32.00 for adults, $30.00 for seniors (ages 65+) and $26.00 for children (ages 6-12). Groups of 20 or more can apply for a special group rate. Tickets are available online, by phone, or at the box office.

The admission ticket gives you access to all three floors of the One World Observatory, a ride on the Sky Pod elevators, a screening in the SEE FOREVER™ Theatre, sweeping views of New York City and New Jersey and seating at numerous restaurants.

One World Observatory is open seven days a week, from 9 A.M to 8 P.M., all year round.  From May 29, to September 7, hours of operation will be extended until midnight.
