One World Observatory tickets — FAQ

How high is One World Observatory and what's the experience?

The observatory is on the 102nd floor of One World Trade Center, 1,250 feet above Lower Manhattan — the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. You ride the SkyPod elevators to the top in under a minute past a time-lapse of New York's skyline, then take in the harbor and city through floor-to-ceiling glass, with the See Forever Theater and the ONE Dine restaurant at the top.

One World Observatory, Top of the Rock, the Empire State Building, or The Edge?

One World Observatory is downtown and the tallest of the four, with the best views of New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty and the unique SkyPod elevator ride; it's enclosed and all-weather. Top of the Rock, the Empire State Building, and The Edge are in Midtown. Many visitors do two — the NYC Icons bundle makes that one checkout.

Is it indoor or outdoor?

Indoor: the observatory is enclosed behind floor-to-ceiling glass on the 102nd floor, so it's an all-weather visit. If you specifically want an open-air deck, see The Edge or the Empire State Building's 86th floor.

What's the difference between the ticket tiers?

General Admission is observatory admission with a reserved time slot. Combination adds Priority Entry plus $5 to spend. All-Inclusive adds Priority Entry plus $15 to spend at ONE Dine, the bar, café, or shop. VIP Tour adds a guided tour with Priority Entry and $15 to spend.

Is there a booking fee?

The venue adds a $3.50 processing fee plus tax per ticket, and the exact ticket price varies by date. We show the venue's starting "from" price and confirm your exact total at checkout — we never invent a number.

When am I charged?

Your card is authorized as a hold when you book. We capture payment only after we confirm your tickets, and release the hold if we can't.
