Edge NYC Opening Hours: When to Visit New York City's Iconic Observation Deck

Peak Season vs Low Season

• Summer, which falls between June to August,  is a great time to enjoy clear views of the New York skyline and the surrounding landscape, however, this is also the peak tourist season.
• If you’re okay with cooler temperatures, you can plan your visit during the fall months of September through November. 
• December to February is also a great time to visit New York when the city is bustling with winter activities. However, keep in mind that temperatures drop to about 0° or less during the winter months.
• You can also choose to visit the Edge during the Spring, from March to May, when the weather is mild and the crowds are lesser. Enjoy panoramic views of the city with blooming flowers across the landscape.

Peak Season: May to September

Low Season: December to February

Weekday vs Weekend

• Visiting Edge NYC on a weekday is a preferable option over the weekend. You can expect smaller crowds on weekdays, which means shorter lines and a quieter experience.
• Given the popularity of the attraction, it might also be difficult to get your preferred time slot on the weekends, especially if it's at the last minute. Choosing a weekday will give you the flexibility to choose a time that works best for you. 
• Finally, you can really take advantage of the attractions inside the Edge including the observatory, the immersive installations, and more on a weekday. With fewer people around, you can spend as much time as you want on each floor and each attraction.
