Edge NYC Observation Deck Tickets: Timed Entry, Flexible & Priority Access Options

Edge NYC is more than just an observation deck – it's an immersive journey into the sky.

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.

Edge is designed as an all-weather, all-day destination, combining immersive indoor environments with open-air views. This makes it ideal for families, couples, and first-time visitors looking for one of the most unique things to do in NYC with many experiences included in one ticket.

Enhance your visit with premium hospitality options, including drinks and light bites curated by Tao Group Hospitality at the Skyline Bar & Café. On select evenings, the experience extends into Marquee Skydeck, a curated rooftop nightlife experience featuring world-class DJs and exclusive events, transforming Edge into a vibrant destination after sunset.
