The fact that I could view New York and New Jersey from being so high in the sky. I got to see the Empire State building. It was a gorgeous day with the perfect temperature.

A Truly Memorable NYC Experience! Our visit to the Edge at Hudson Yards was unforgettable. The moment we stepped onto the deck, we were blown away by the panoramic views of the city. Standing on the glass floor and looking straight down was both thrilling and surreal and a little scary 😊 The design of the deck is impressive and gives you the feeling of being suspended in the sky. High glass walls protect you from the wind - and the day we visited was very windy. We had VIP tickets, skipped the lines and never felt rushed or crowded - so worth it! It’s a unique way to experience New York from above, and we’re so glad we made the time for it. Highly recommended for anyone looking to see the city from a whole new perspective!

The views from the observation deck are magnificent, especially at sunset. The only drawback is that it's far too crowded, which should be regulated rather than having to queue up to take a photo.

Interminable thing due to elevator malfunction. Instead of notifying us they left us 90 Min waiting before giving any explanation of the problem. Another 60 min wait then, with children on top of that. Easy to pay, hard to get refunds or excuses.

How long are the queues at Edge New York?

Edge is one of New York's most popular attractions, and during peak hours, wait times can range from 1 to 2 hours. Without a pre-booked ticket, you'll need to queue at the ticketing counter, followed by a security check and elevator lines before beginning your experience.

If you want to skip all the queues and get priority access to the panoramic skyline views of Manhattan, you should consider the Edge NYC Express Pass.

Why you should go for the Edge NYC Express Pass

If you’re on a tight schedule

If you’re in New York for a short trip, you’ll want to maximize your experiences and minimize your wait times. The Express Pass cuts through the waiting so you can make the most of your visit.

If you want convenience

Your ticket will allow you to skip the lines and get priority access to Edge NYC, adding a layer of convenience to your experience and making it more enjoyable.

If you are not sure of your itinerary

The Express Pass also has flexible booking, so if you haven’t planned your days in the city yet, you don’t need to worry about it.

If you’re a family with children

Waiting in multiple lines can get stressful if you’re traveling with children. The Edge Express Pass gives you flexible booking options and priority access; an ideal option for families.

If you want to add a VIP touch to your special occasion

Birthdays, anniversaries, and any special occasion can be made a lot more special with this added touch. With priority access to Edge, you can start your experience and celebrations directly.

How to skip the lines at Edge in New York

Get the Edge Express Pass

The fastest way to skip all the lines at Edge NYC is to get the Express Pass in advance. You get priority access through security and to the elevators and enter the observation deck directly to begin your experience with 360-degree views of the city’s skyline at a time of your choosing.

Book your Edge Express Pass

Book your tickets online

Booking your tickets online will make sure you don’t have to wait at the ticketing lines to get your admission ticket. But, there will be waiting at security and lines to the elevators for Edge.

Get your tickets to Edge New York

Visit during the early hours

The observatory is famous for its sunset views and it tends to get crowded around sunset. If you want to avoid waiting in line and visit when there are fewer people, then we recommend you visit early. Edge opens at 9am, and it starts getting crowded after 3pm, so any time before that should be ideal, especially during weekdays.

More about Edge timings

Which entrance to use for your skip-the-line express tickets

You can enter Edge by reaching Level 4 of The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards. There is only one entrance to Edge NYC. Once you enter, you can show your Express Pass to skip the waiting lines at the General Admission area and reach the priority access space for your security check.

Getting to Edge New York

Frequently asked questions about the skip-the-line Express Pass to Edge New York

How does the flexible entry work with my Express Pass?

Flexible entry allows you to enter at any time during the day of your booking. Other tickets to Edge are typically timed entry experiences.

Does the Express Pass include other experiences at Edge or in Hudson Yards?

No, the Express Pass only includes priority access to Edge NYC and flexible entry time to the venue. Other experiences like City Climb at Edge and entry to Vessel at Hudson Yards need additional tickets.

Can children of all ages visit Edge New York?

Children aged 5 and under are allowed to enter for free. Simply show their ID upon arrival. You’ll have to purchase a separate pass for kids over the age of 6. Children under 12 cannot participate in certain experiences at Edge such as the City Climb experience.
