Program Description
Rise above New York City and take in breathtaking 360° views from one of the most iconic landmarks in the world. The Empire State Building, consistently ranked among the top attractions in NYC, offers an unforgettable way to experience the Big Apple from a whole new perspective.
Completed in 1931 and located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan at 5th Avenue and 34th Street, this architectural masterpiece is a shining example of Art Deco design. As you enter, you’ll admire the beautifully restored Fifth Avenue lobby, with its golden details and timeless elegance that set the tone for your visit.
Your experience begins with immersive museum exhibits on the 2nd and 80th floors. You’ll discover the story behind the building’s record-breaking construction, explore its cultural impact, and revisit its Hollywood fame – from “King Kong” to “Sleepless in Seattle.” It’s a fascinating journey through the history of one of the world’s most famous skyscrapers.
Next, you’ll head up to the 86th Floor Observatory, the highest open-air 360° observatory in New York City. From 1,054 feet above Midtown Manhattan, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, including Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, and beyond. The panoramic skyline stretching in every direction makes this a truly unforgettable moment.
