A BREATHTAKING
OBSERVATORY EXPERIENCE

One World Observatory opens you up to an uplifting and illuminating experience above all else – it’s not simply about the sightlines. Take in unparalleled views, the taste of elevated dining, the rush of discovery, and more. The 60 – 75-minute experience fits perfectly into your downtown itinerary.

The Tallest Observatory in the Western Hemisphere

If you’re interested in experiencing what it’s like to be at the top of New York, look no further. The observatory’s sprawling 360-degree views stretch 45 miles in all directions. Imagine reflecting on the grandeur of NYC’s famous mix of architectural styles that make this skyline the most recognizable in the world from the tallest point in the city.

Beyond the view, visitors to the observatory are encouraged to learn something new about New York from the place where it all began. A team of tour guides will enlighten you on NYC’s rich history, which originates in Lower Manhattan. Sit in on daily interactive presentations or engage one of the guides with your questions to make the most of the visit.

Dine Among the Clouds

Have you ever dined from 101 stories in the sky? Now’s your chance. The restaurant and bar offer unprecedented sky-high views paired with a menu that offers an equally far-reaching perspective on New York’s culinary culture. The front of house team provides personable service, making sure each guest feels at home.

The observatory is open daily and is located at the top of One World Trade Center.
