Spectacular View

Almost any site in New York City is visible from the Observatory.

The Empire State Building Observatory is located 1,050 feet above the streets of New York on the 86th floor of this Manhattan landmark, and offers views of up to 80 miles away on clear days. The Empire State Building has been named a National Historic Landmark, and is one of the most visited icons in the city. When the weather is pleasant, visitors to the Empire State Building Observatory can step outside onto the outdoor promenade for an even more breathtaking experience. The building has been used for scenes in many movies, including An Affair to Remember and Sleepless in Seattle.

When you visit, you will find restaurants, stores and the New York Skyride, a 'moving theater'. For a breathtaking--and 360-degree--view of the city, the Empire State Building observatory is the place to be.

See and Hear Tour

The See and Hear Tour includes admission to the Empire State Building Observatory as well as a detailed map and audio tour. Your audio tour is provided by a retired New York City taxi cab driver named Tony. Tony will lead you through the city and give you the local's perspective from an audio tape so you can feel like a real New Yorker while your map will help you understand what you see from the tower by showing you points of interest.
