We were behind a bit in time of our booking and panicked arriving! But the staff on entrance were so obliging to help my family get to gain the amazing experiencebof the edge! Would highly recommend it for all to do..
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.
It was an amazing experience—even though the weather wasn’t great and the view wasn’t the best, we still had a fantastic time😇
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.
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.

Spectacular and breathtaking Spot in New York City! 😱🤩
Visited the Edge on a lovely clear day and got amazing views of NYC. Highly recommend
That clear floor thousand feet above the street is amazing! Nothing else like it!
The view and location are great keep it up
Bird's eye view of the city. Lines long and slow but well organised with pleasant staff
Awesome experience . It was nice experience
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.

Edge is a top venue to visit, 1st time this year and will be going again on our next visit to New York. The views from the observation decks are amazing, even the elevator ride was impressive with the built in video show. Would thoroughly recommend a visit while in New York.
We had to wait 45 minutes for the train. As compensation, some visitors then received a voucher for a glass of champagne, others didn't, so we didn't feel disrespected.

So beautiful and so fun. Such a great view with a unique perspective of looking down under your feet. The building is also great before you even get to the Edge, fun shops and restauarants. Loved it. I highly recommend going if you like high buildings with amazing 360 views - if you are scared of heights - don't go -otherwise join in the fun.
We bought tickets to enter at 7:20 PM and we arrived at 7:00 PM, but we didn't go up until 8:30 PM, so we missed what we wanted to see: the change from day to night.
Flexibility is key. Visit Edge any time when you book without the stress of timed entry.

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 attention of the people the view the people the energy that is handled and it is totally special and wonderful a totally once in a lifetime experience.

We did skip the line and it was perfect! Then the sunset was absolutely beautiful!!! It is our third time going to the Edge!
Loved the "skip the line" entry/exit tickets! Plenty of indoor/outdoor views to see/photograph! We all 4 enjoyed our time we spent at Edge!
The views were spectacular and the high winds made it more exciting
Very good signage to find location once inside building; Once I found a worker inside who actually could help me Having the express option was worth every penny! The lady who did help was very kind and got us through so quick!!

The height was quite nice it's also nice that I didn't fall off the skyscraper
The unreal view from the top and the energy of the staff to make it fun!! They were also supportive and encouraging 😃
Everyone involved in the climb was awesome and made it an amazing experience. You can't get better views and pics anywhere.
Attentiveness and energy of the staff allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. Of course the views are amazing and well worth the climb!
