About NYC Observation Decks

Who publishes this guide, what we cover and how booking works.

A specialist guide to New York’s skyline

NYC Observation Decks helps visitors choose between Edge, the Empire State Building, Top of the Rock, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt and One World Observatory. We focus on the differences that affect a real visit: the setting, the view, the timing and the ticket inclusions.

The site has its own editorial identity and is published by tickadoo. It is not an independent third-party review organisation. Our booking links direct you to tickadoo, where you can check availability and buy tickets.

What you can expect

We explain reasons to choose each attraction as well as the tradeoffs. Recommendations are based on visitor priorities and documented product information. We do not invent first-hand visits, customer reviews or member discounts.

The site is a planning guide. Admission terms, prices and availability are confirmed by the selected ticket on tickadoo.
