Description
Empire State Building tickets let you see Manhattan from one of its best-known towers, and the visit starts well before the top. First comes the museum, with 12 immersive galleries on how the tower was built, its Art Deco style, King Kong and the celebrities who made it part of pop culture. You also walk through the Art Deco lobby.
Then you head up to the 86th Floor, an open-air deck in the heart of Manhattan. The views run 360 degrees, from Central Park to the Brooklyn Bridge, so it is easy to pick out landmarks and take photos in every direction.
- General or Express skip-the-line entry, depending on the option you choose
- The 86th Floor Observation Deck
- The 102nd Floor, only with the upgrade option
- Free WiFi inside the building
The 102nd Floor has floor-to-ceiling windows and, on a clear day, visibility of up to 80 miles. Express is the choice when time is short. The building is wheelchair accessible, and children under 6 enter free. Everyone goes through security, so leave glass items, sports equipment and large bags behind.
