The view of the New York skyline was breathtaking—absolutely fantastic. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend it to everyone. The glass floor was also a truly special experience. A must-see when you're in New York.

I'm from New York but my fiancé is from North Carolina so we wanted to see the edge. So I bought him here and we both had fun. And I'm sooooooooo afraid of heights. But looking at the lights at night was a peaceful and a serene experience. I will definitely come back again.

It was a breeze—we just had to scan our tickets, the staff was super friendly, and we didn't wait more than 3 minutes before heading up. We went around 6:50 p.m., just in case :)

Thank God, the experience here was great, and there were no hitches at all. After what happened with the Summit tickets, I was expecting some kind of setback, but that wasn't the case.

I purchased my tickets ahead online. It was fast smooth and easy. Although watching the sunset was beautiful, it seemed to be the most popular time to go. There were way too many people to really get good pics.

    We really enjoyed the edge. It was one of the better roof top experiences we've done. All have their unique qualities but the Edge is worth trying.

    Getting Started

    Your visit begins on Level 4 of Hudson Yards, where interactive indoor installations introduce you to a multi-sensory experience of light, reflection, and design. Together, these spaces turn your ascent into a dynamic, ever-evolving experience before you even step outside.

    As you move through the experience, anticipation builds toward the outdoor sky deck, where you’ll reach the highest outdoor sky deck in New York City, suspended over 1,100 feet above Manhattan. From here, enjoy breathtaking 360° views of the NYC skyline, from Central Park to the Statue of Liberty.

    For those seeking a unique perspective, step onto the iconic glass floor platform, lean out over angled glass walls, and take in the city from an entirely new angle. Whether you’re looking for a thrilling moment or simply a memorable view, Edge offers a range of experiences for every visitor at every age.
