The attraction was very well organised. The cue's were not long and there was plenty of room to move above unhindered while on the 86th floor viewing platform. The information provided in the exhibitions was informative and not distracting. Overall, an excellent experience, also helped by the fact the weather on the day was glorious!

What happens on the day
The World’s Most Famous Building, which celebrated its 90th Anniversary in 2021, is an international symbol of hope, determination, and possibility in the heart of New York City.
With the city’s only 360-degree outdoor Observatory, the Empire State Building is a must-visit attraction. The newly re-imagined experience features a fun-filled, 10,000 square foot immersive digital and tactile museum. The exhibits celebrate the Empire State Building – from the time it was conceived to its place today in pop-culture.
Open daily, the Empire State Building is a short walk from Times Square and just steps to Macy’s, Madison Square Garden, and Penn Station.
