General Info Empire State Building

Experience unforgettable 360° views of New York City and beyond. No matter how long you’re in town, no visit to NYC is complete without experiencing the top of the Empire State Building.

You can choose between standard tickets or skip the line smartphone tickets. When you want to visit the 102nd floor, you can upgrade your tickets at the entrance. You can buy tickets including Skyride but that’s an old flight simulator and not really worth the money.
