An unforgettable experience in every way. Let's talk about the view—it's a real feast for the eyes, and there's nothing quite like the sheer joy of seeing New York in all its glory.

Empire State Building is way more than just a observation point! It´s a museum, with multible exhibitions and scenes. From the building of Empire State to the movies it has been a part of. The most famous is King Kong from the early 1930´s. The Observation deck gives you a perfect 360 degrees view of Manhattan and New York, and it´s truly spectacular!

The visit was easy without a wait at all since the weather wasn't that great. We were told ahead of time that there wouldn't be a view due to the cloud cover but we still enjoyed being up in the clouds. It was beautiful without a view so I imagine on a clear day it would be amazing.

I was able to get the tickets online very quickly; it was really easy to pay for them online. They were emailed to me right away. And finally, the visit to the Empire State Building—even though it’s an old building, I really loved the organization and, of course, the spectacular views.

    It was raining which is why I rate my trip lower. Everything else was nice.
  • Save big with a combo ticket to two quintessential New York experiences: the Empire State Building and a sightseeing cruise to see the Statue of Liberty.

    Visit New York's most famous building

    Ascend the Empire State Building, a 102-story Art Deco masterpiece completed in 1931. From the 86th-floor observatory, 1,050 feet above street level, you'll get a bird's eye view of the city's grid layout. This National Historic Landmark has survived a B-25 bomber crash, starred in over 250 films, and held the title of the world's tallest building for four decades. Its innovative design, featuring setbacks to allow sunlight to reach the streets below, has influenced skyscraper architecture worldwide. As night falls, marvel at the building's crown illuminated by LEDs capable of displaying 16 million colors, a tradition started in 1976.

    Cruise the Hudson

    This 90-minute Hudson River cruise won't just take you through the city, but also its maritime history. Glide past the One World Trade Center, symbolizing the city's resilience, and under the Gothic Revival arches of the Brooklyn Bridge, an engineering marvel from 1883. Pause near the Statue of Liberty, a gift from France in 1886, standing as a beacon of hope for millions of immigrants who entered through nearby Ellis Island. This journey showcases New York's evolution from Dutch New Amsterdam to a global metropolis, revealing stories of immigrants, dock workers, and industries that shaped the city's identity. Elevate your cruise with snacks from the bar onboard at an extra cost and family-friendly activities.
