Do not get the IPad very dated technology. Very good views. No crowds at early times. Would recommend to everyone traveling to New York.
Brian_M, Aug 2026
The videos on the elevators and the entrance are exceptionally well done. A little tough to get clear pictures at night, but a great site nonetheless. You can see the two tower fountains from above up there.

Different view where you see the statue of liberty, brooklyn bridge and hudson yard. Could be good to do it in the evening as well

Firstly, the staff at One World Observatory is so welcoming. The views of NYC are amazing. EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!
Geraldo_P, Aug 2026
Amazing way to view the city with zero stress of transportation takes you to most of the major spots In the city and gives an audio history tour of every spot

it was okay nice views but not much included the bar was closed when we were there so we were pretty much done in half hour! the shop was overpriced!

Great views but not much to do there - views of building itself are stunning - the photo taking offer isn’t worth the money

We appreciate your honest feedback and the overall experience at the top, as guest perspectives are helpful to us. We hope to welcome you back for another visit in the future!

This was a whole experience WITH the best view in NYC! I was not expecting everything leading up to the actual 360° view. WOW!

We went first thing in the morning and there was no crowd. Being entirely inside, unlike Empire State Bldg or the Edge, there was no wind and the view was less scary
Stephen_C, Jun 2026
well worth the visit, we had pre booked a timeslot, but arrived and entered early. Very friendly employees, and of course the views were stunning.
Julian_H, Jun 2026
The whole presentation business is stupid. they just show you live screen videos of the street outside in New York that you've just been walking in. They're also few comfortable chairs to sit on while you have your refreshments. they try to get you to stand at tables . they don't think to put chairs near the window so you can relax and look out at The View which of course is wonderful.
Emma_B, May 2026
Perfect view for sunset and nighttime view of Manhattan and beyond. Well organised eith friendly and helpful staff.
grovygrooves, May 2026
Awesome. Family pass though was cheaper on their website. Multi level was good. Not too busy due to rain which luckily got cleared up for us. I wish they had the view of underlying glass too
Jeremy_D, May 2026
Decided to do this last minute as we visited the 9/11 memorial museum and so glad we did.
Great views from lower manhattan and really helpful guides on hand to answer any questions.
Dessa_S, May 2026
Best support from staff. 🇱🇨🇬🇾 She was amazing and the tour with views was a very special experience. I will definitely visit again!
Abdul_R, Apr 2026
Amazing day at the One World Trade Centre and awesome views from the 100th floor of the city of New York. The traveller’s definitely need to book this experience.
Dave_P, Apr 2026
Great Views of all if NYC, NJ, surrounding areas. Quite surreal being in that location with aircraft flying below your feet. A truly humbling place. A must do if your down town.
Gwen_S, Apr 2026
FYI if you get the All-Inclusive package…make sure you know EACH ticket holder has $15 to spend at the cafe, restaurant or gift shop. Nobody seemed to know how we were supposed to be able to use it. We had some employees say we needed a barcode, which we did not receive…I was persistent and they finally scanned our actual ticket and that worked. $45 was a lot to just “leave” when we paid for it. It was perfect to go at 10:00am…extremely light crowds even with it being spring break. Great views.
Alexandra_D, Apr 2026
Don’t buy a ticket for the One World Tower from this operator. In none of the details given was I told I had to go and redeem the Viator ticket. The scanners at the queue did not recognise the Viator ticket. Once I’d redeemed the ticket, it became clear that the One World Tower did not recognise the combo ticket I had bought so we didn’t get any of the extras I had paid for. No skip the line, no iPad tour, no $5 coupon. Complete waste of time and money.
Faye_H, Apr 2026
Very high, can’t be afraid of heights, great views of the city, modern building, pleasant staff, helpful
Magna_D, Feb 2026
We got the all inclusive package. It was about $10 less than buying directly. We had priority line and security both going up and down. We went on Friday and during the day so less important. But makes sense if you are going in evening or weekend. The included iPad was nice. You can use it to see what you are looking at and tap on building to learn more about it. If you don’t have it, there are some QR codes to learn some stories and there is an hourly short talk about nyc at South marker. I thought the talk was good. I grew up in nyc and still learned rid bits. The view was great. We had a crystal clear day and could see for miles in every direction. The $15 pp credit could be combined so we got a $30 hat for my husband. You can also use credit at restaurant/cafe. This is definitely one of the best places to see the whole city plus status of liberty etc. liked that they didn’t try to sell you on photos. it’s expensive but similar to other cities that have this. It’s close to the oculus, Brookfield mall, and the riverside.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're glad you found value in the all-inclusive package and enjoyed the additional perks. It’s great to hear the NYC talk was informative and that you were able to take in those clear views from every direction. We appreciate your visit and hope to welcome you back again soon.
Jeanine_O, Feb 2026
Always a go to with new tourists I bring to NYC. Spectacular views and the restaurant at the top is always an amazing experience!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for making us a part of your NYC visits. We’re honored to be a go to for your guests and thrilled you enjoy both the views and the dining experience. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
Kristie_M, Feb 2026
A great experience - well worth the ticket cost and a fantastic way to see the city from multiple angles!
I would possibly book closer to the day you intend to visit - I almost booked weeks out but then sat there was generally good next day availability. Luckily I did wait as the two days either side of our experience were super foggy and we wouldn't have been able to see a thing. Waiting to book (the day before) meant I was able to check the weather was going to be ok and there were a range of times available throughout the day.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the review! We’re happy you found the experience worthwhile and enjoyed seeing the city from multiple angles. That’s a great tip for guests to book closer to your visit date to check the weather. Clear skies really do make all the difference. We hope to welcome you back soon.
Sarah_M, Jan 2026
Do it at night! So special and beautiful to see everything lit up & wasn’t so busy. Being indoors as well, it wasn’t as scary as other buildings!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed visiting at night. Seeing the city all lit up really is something special. Being indoors definitely helps make the experience more relaxed while still offering those incredible views. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
Franca_W, Jan 2026
The staf were professional and courteous. It was not crowded. We are able to enjoy the space and views. The Sky Point presentation was well done by Melanie. Refreshments were abit expensive. But overall a wonderful experience.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the experience and had the space to really take in the views. It’s wonderful to know our team made a positive impression. Melanie will be delighted to hear your kind words about the Sky Point presentation. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another memorable visit!
Sarai_C, Jan 2026
Amazing views of the city and the building and water. I was able to see the statue of liberty too, it was tiny but you can still make it out!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We’re glad you enjoyed the amazing views and were able to spot the Statue of Liberty. It’s great to hear you took in the city, the buildings, and the water. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable visit!
Wendy_B, Jan 2026
Super fun, no lines we got right in and enjoyed the views from the top for about an hour. Purchased the photo they took and really enjoyed the "reveal" of the view. Very crowded to get back down though but line moved fast.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We’re glad you had a fun visit! It’s great you enjoyed the “reveal” and spent time taking in the views from the top. Thanks for sharing your experience, and we look forward to seeing you again!
David_C, Jan 2026
This was truly an unforgettable experience! Seeing all of NYC laid out below us was an awe-inspiring sight!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We’re thrilled you had such an unforgettable experience! There’s nothing quite like seeing all of NYC spread out below. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another visit!
