The place is amazing in every way – the view, the lookout point, the feeling, and the glass floor all come together to make the experience especially powerful.

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.

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.
