Empire State Building: 102nd Floor Top Deck & 86th Floor Observation Deck
About this experience
Start with the interactive exhibits on the second and 80th floors. Here, you will relive the Empire State Building’s construction, explore its roles in films like _King Kong_ and _Sleepless in Seattle_, and learn about its place in global culture.
Visit the 86th Floor Observation Deck, the highest 360º open-air observation deck in NYC. From 1,054 ft (320 m) above Manhattan, take in unobstructed views of the skyline, from Central Park to the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, and beyond. Known as one of the most Instagrammed spots in the world, it is the perfect place for photos.
Then, continue to the reimagined 102nd Floor Observation Deck. Ride to the top in a glass elevator, where floor-to-ceiling windows, on a clear day, you can see up to 80 miles across six states.
Finally, visit the building’s Art Deco Fifth Avenue lobby of golden murals and elegant design that has welcomed millions of visitors from around the world.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
