Amazing views - No queues, fast entry and minimal tourists on the observation deck made this visit very enjoyable. Two of our party had not been before and they were blown away by the views of the city and rivers. Especially so as it was a beautiful clear day.

Washington World Observatory - Our visit to the Washington World Observatory was a fantastic experience! The elevator ride up was incredibly cool—fast and smooth—and set the tone for the adventure. Once at the top, the 360-degree views were absolutely breathtaking. Being able to see so far in every direction really highlighted the beauty and vastness of the area. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time there and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience in the city!

Great family view - Probably the best view I have seen during my entire time in New York! It was absolutely fantastic and fun! I would recommend going to the 9/11 memorial first and then go up to the 102nd floor of the One World Observatory.

A very breathtaking experience - Just being able to see the skyline was beautiful. We took the the 6:30 pm slot so we got to see the skyline when it's still light outside and in the night. I will say that I had to go the guards a few time since I didn't know which line I should be getting on as far as when we first got to the observatory.

What a distance - Our ticket included the use of an ipad which we used to identify places on the horizon and get a brief history of that particular area. We spent a long time looking at the landmarks of New York close up.

With the New York passes waiting time of 1 1/2 hours or 12€ additional fee. - Unfortunately, our combined ticket did not quite hold up to what we thought. ATTENTION: If you want to enter with one of the New York passes, you don't pay anything on it if you wait 1 1/2 hours! for admission. With 45min waiting time you have to pay 8€ extra and if you do not want to wait because you have already paid the admission, you have to pay an additional 12€ per person!. We found it outrageous and even briefly considered whether to skip our visit here. We then accepted the long wait. The viewing platform was very nice. You have a beautiful view on all sides out. We liked it in the end, even though I am still annoyed about the additional fee or the long wait.

A little underwhelmed 👎🏻 - Was ok, the building itself is impressive, the lift ride up pretty cool, the bit when they reveal the sky line is good but overall because you’re inside and behind glass you kinda miss the actual feel of the height etc… I’ve done empire state and top of the rock and I personally think they’re better as you’re outside and feels more exciting and you get more of a feel…but that’s just my opinion… I’m glad I did it BUT I wouldn’t do it again
