Rise to the iconic 86th-floor open-air deck — and optionally the exclusive 102nd-floor pinnacle — of the world's most recognisable skyscraper for a once-in-a-lifetime New York City panorama.
What to expect
After a dedicated priority lane check-in, Art Deco-clad elevators deliver you to the legendary 86th-floor promenade, open to the elements and wrapped in original 1931 ironwork. On clear days visibility extends 80 miles. Those with 102nd-floor access continue to a hushed, intimate glass room where the city spreads below in every direction. Multilingual audio guides and a rooftop café are included.
Good to know
Purchase 102nd-floor tickets directly at esbnyc.com — they sell out days in advance, especially at cruise-port peak times. The ESB is at 34th & 5th Ave, a USD 15-20 cab ride from Pier 88/90. Comfortable, flat-soled shoes recommended for the deck.
