One World Observatory

Tourist attraction

★ 4.9 (83K+ reviews) • 154K+ booked

Located on the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, One World Observatory is a must-visit attraction to experience the incredible views of New York City. On clear days, take in sights of all five boroughs in the World Trade Center Observatory, the New York skyline, Brooklyn Bridge, and even the Statue of Liberty, all looking tiny from this height. Ride the Sky Pod up 102 stories for a bird's eye view of the New York's iconic skyline. Explore the three levels of the Observatory, grab a snack at the café, and check out the city from high above on the Sky Portal. The tour ambassadors are there to guide you through New York's history, and don't miss the ONE Mix bar for a drink with a view. This spot is special because it houses the footprints of the original World Trade Center towers, now a museum. The current One World Observatory World Trade Center stands way taller at 408 feet higher than the old towers. It's a blend of honoring the past and embracing the future of New York City.

The long-awaited Harry Potter is back, this time focusing on the next generation and telling the story of what happens next. The set design and effects are absolutely stunning and worth seeing.

The boat is a bit small, but everyone can find a seat with a good view, which is nice. If you don't have much time, this is a good tour option.

This is a really convenient pass. If you have decided on specific attractions, you can buy the pass and book immediately. If your itinerary is very flexible, you can book in advance based on the situation at each attraction (SUMMIT needs to be booked one day in advance, while The Edge can be booked a few hours before the visit on the same day). In terms of cost, it is really more cost-effective than buying tickets for each attraction individually. However, if you are choosing attractions like MoMA where tickets are cheaper, it is not recommended to use the pass. In my experience, I used it for Top of the Rock Observation Deck, The Edge, and SUMMIT One Vanderbilt.
