    Great place to visit

    nb6q2dss8g, Feb 2026
    Well organised and booking was so easy. Amazing view of the city. Cafe was good too. Would definitely recommend the blueberry muffin!

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for your review! It's great to hear the booking process was easy and that the views from the top were enjoyed. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon.

    Friday morning At 9 am

    Tim_P, Nov 2025
    Friday morning at 9 am there were no lines - so the skip the line features of some of the more expensive tickets were not really needed.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thank you for sharing your experience. Early mornings can definitely be a great time to visit and we’re glad you had an easy, line-free start to your day. We hope you’ll come back again soon to enjoy the views at a different time of day.

    Amazing!!!

    What a beautiful way to...

    What a beautiful way to see the city! The fast pass was the way to go and the $15 coupon made it the same price as the regular ticket.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed seeing the city and that the fast pass and coupon made your visit easy and valuable. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back for another great experience.

    The app did not work.

    David_P, Aug 2025
    The app does not always work to present tickets. I was forced to purchase tickets because the tickets would not load in the app.

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    We're sorry to hear you had trouble accessing your tickets through the app and understand how frustrating that must have been. Please contact us at info@oneworldobservatory.com for additional information or assistance—we’d be happy to help. Sincerely, The One World Observatory Team

    Couldn’t find meeting place or Viator member.

    Confusing. We couldn’t fine Viator member. Luckily we were able to go on our own without Viator guid.

    Looking out over New York...

    Mike_F, Mar 2024
    Looking out over New York and the rivers was fabulous. It was very clean, safe and inspiring. We would all do it again.

    Experience

    Caroline_D, Mar 2024
    It was amazing and it was spectacular. It's easy to make a purchase and have the ticket access. The app will remind me about the importance of the event couple of days before.

    Stunning views for days!

    Kamira_G, Nov 2023
    I tried VIator and had no problems when arriving at the destination. Customer service was great and me and my husband had a lovely afternoon at the World Trade Observatory. I'd definitely recommend.

    Top of the world

    Elevator ride was super fun. We learned so much from the tablets you just clicked at a building and gives you all the info you need. Kids loved the restaurant

    Fabulous views of the whole city

    Sharon_B, Feb 2023
    Wow! What an amazing experience- stunning views made even better by the clear bright blue skies (in Feb!) tour guide for City Pulse was excellent, great knowledge!

    A window on New York.

    Alan_W, Dec 2022
    It was nice not having to stand in line. Know that you have to spend your $15/ticket at one place. You can't get $7 worth of food and then try to buy a souvenir for $8. We went in time to see the sunset and then see the lights of the city come on.

    Must do, great view!

    Janet_T, Oct 2022
    Nice view! The video pad with "helicopter" up close detail was fun. Our ticket included a drink which we enjoyed. I liked the flexible entry time slot... it took us much longer in the museum than expected (which was fascinating as well). The late afternoon sun was bright in our eyes and I could not see the video pad screen well on about half of the attempts.

    A Freedom View of NYC

    John_E, Oct 2022
    The entrance to this event was an unexpected surprise and thoroughly enjoyable experience - a show in and of itself, especially the elevator ride. Missed not being able to take in the sites from outdoors as previously experienced on the Twin Towers and Empire State Building, but all in all this is definitely a must for tourists and locals.

    Owo ... hats off ...

    Great experience ... One should do .... Lift was fast ... 47 sec 102 floors Highly recommended for families.
