Fantastic views of the city. Not for those afraid of heights. Loved the views from the different points. Kaleidoscope was great fun.
Ebony_A, Jun 2026
Spectacular views! We couldn’t have asked for a better day. The weather was beautiful, the views were spectacular and the vibe was right on point. A bar , good customer service and great company!
Rishi_A, Jun 2026
Great experience and Viator provided some savings in the ticket which was worth it! Worth the experience and great way to see NYC skyline
Matthew_P, Jun 2026
Our overall experience was a positive one; however, if you book the last appointments of the day, you may find that some of the employees are eager to shut things down well before 10:00 P.M. and begin demanding that visitors exit the area.
Rebecca_B, May 2026
I suffer with motion and BPPV, so the lift going up was an eyes closed situation for me - there is a warning displayed.
Very well organised and our ticket gave us a glass of champagne - great bar staff, very funny.
We chose a sunset visit, and it was very busy - you could still get photos of the city, and time on the glass floor if your stomach allowed.
There was music playing and a lovely vibe.
The sun setting changed the buildings colour and the view was spectacular, absolutely stunning sunset.
Bar is a little pricey, but how often do you do it?
Lovely experience and we recommend it.
Kati_R, May 2026
Nothing special and definitely not worth the cost. Website advertises the visit takes approximately 1 hour, 30 minutes. At best it takes about 15-20 minutes and that’s a stretch. The view was nice, but at $53+ each, the value is not worth it. There is absolutely nothing to do except take a couple pictures and leave.
Diana_A, May 2026
Easy to purchase the tickets and secure website I had not issued at all. They remind when is coming the event
Julie_S, May 2026
The most amazing experience ever.Best views of New York.Well worth the visit.Would highly recommend to anyone.
Ibrahim_A, May 2026
It was amazing experience, nothing to do really except enjoying the view and taking pictures, also you can challenge yourself by walking in the glass , the shop is versatile too
Kellen_N, May 2026
Excellent program, the views are amazing. I highly recommend! There is plenty of space so you can admire NYC and not feel rushed or in a crowded place.
Paula_C, May 2026
The edge experience gives a unique view of NYC. Such beautiful views and just an overall fun experience!!
Susan_M, Apr 2026
In April there were no queues and not too many people on the observation deck. One of the best places to see the skyline as well as visiting the Hudson Yards and the nearby Chelsea Highline
Cindy_S, Apr 2026
I traveled to NYC with my fellow Travel Business Owners to experience the best of NYC and the Edge Observation Deck did not disappoint. The views are some of the best we experienced and the staff was super friendly. We were truly on top of the world in every way. This Observation Deck is a "must visit" attraction.
Arthur_S, Apr 2026
It's a fun experience from the elevator ride to the observation decks. Even though it was bad weather, & low visibility they enjoyed what they could see.
Montressa_M, Apr 2026
Was nice going up seeing the view. Wish they had more things on the general admissions deck but still worth it.
Latonya_S, Apr 2026
I went to The edge with several friends it was ok. We took great pictures. Staff was very nice. But I think I was overly price.
Sian_B, Apr 2026
Stunning views. Slightly scary to lean on the glass but what fun. Entrance could be clearer sign posted.
Dave_P, Apr 2026
Amazing experience, seeing the whole of NYC and beyond was amazing. The views around each elevation gavea totally different perspective
Robyn_A, Apr 2026
The views were absolutely stunning and breathtaking. Plan accordingly by looking at the weather ahead of time to get the best views
Muzammil_M, Apr 2026
On the perfect day and cold weather
we enjoyed the wonderful time with our family
Thank you for easy access
Levonna_H, Apr 2026
I wish they refunded us or told us we can come back another time due to the weather and not being able to see the view . Instead of only giving us 20%off food and merchandise. Very disappointed we didn’t get to see any views
Xitlaly_G, Apr 2026
It was ridiculous to have to have more than an hour just the EXIT the building !! There needs to be some other way to fix the congestion of people exiting the building
Tiffany_B, Mar 2026
There should be more immersive activity involved for the price it charges. I did however enjoy the elevator ride going down
NICOLA_W, Mar 2026
Probably one of the best views in NY. Great atmosphere at night. Although wasn't particularly busy when we went but still very handy to get the lift straight away and not que. Staff are very friendly. It wasn't explained how we claimed our drink that was included we had to ask for it and make sure you get it as the drinks are stupid prices!
James_L, Mar 2026
Great and friendly staff. Got a response quickly about a refund for a ticket I purchased for the wrong day!
David_S, Mar 2026
Make the edge one of first things you do on your holiday. A great experience and you can see for miles, especially on a clear day.up i
Tatiana_L, Mar 2026
Beautiful views of NYC in all directions. Fun to step on a glass floor, or sit high on stairs to take in the city skyline, Statue or Liberty, and ocean views.
Liz_D, Feb 2026
Very well organised, it was quite busy but it was still very relaxed and we weren’t rushed. It was a beautiful sunny day, views were just amazing!!
Gary_O, Feb 2026
The weather is a big decision maker of this experience. I think Viator should give you a cancellation option . As it’s an all weather experience but you only see New York if the weather is good. Most people only have set times in New York & if the visibility is poor you do not get the full experience.
It was ok but I’m sure if the weather was good it would have been amazing.
Salvador_G, Feb 2026
Great views and friendly staff. Seamless entry even though the attraction had many people the line moved quickly.
