Positives:

  • Sunset Romance: Sunset views create a romantic backdrop for photos and quiet moments.
  • Photo Keepsakes: Glass floor and angled walls offer unique frames for couple portraits.

Challenges:

  • High Elevation Chill: Temperatures drop at 1,100 ft; bring jackets even on mild days.
  • Queue Times: Lines form at peak hours; arriving just before opening reduces wait.

It is worth it? Yes, how much? Well, it depends on how much you love that view. Be ready for be there with bunch of people, lines to catch the elevator, to enter, to take the signature picture if you want. There's a few skyscrapers with the view, so feel free to choose. This one I like a lot. You have to buy tickets online choosing hour time and day.

We could see the edge from our hotel room so we chose this view activity. It was fantastic. The weather was perfect. The views were phenomenal. The decorated photo op spots were fun. We had a great time and got some good pics. The Edge is well organized with friendly, helpful staff to guide you to the top. LOVED THIS VIEW!!! I even stood on the glass floor.

Glass floor was fun to walk on, if you’re into that sort of thing! Prices around $50 per person (depends on ticket type purchased) & I used the kiosk near the Vessel so just picked a time available. When I walked upstairs there was no wait, walked right in and u...

When is the best time to visit Edge Observation Deck (New York, United States)?

Summer afternoons can be hot and crowded; winter winds chill the deck—bring layers. Autumn sunsets arrive early; book around 5 PM for golden light.
