Description

Enjoy access to the 86th and 102nd floors of the famous Empire State Building, and admire the panoramic view of New York City!

You'll head for the entrance to the building located at 20 West 34th Street, Midtown Manhattan.

The ultra-fast elevator will take you 320 meters up, to the 86th floor of the Empire State Building. A breathtaking view of New York's greatest monuments will be yours, and you'll be able to admire Central Park, Times Square, the Statue of Liberty or the MET...

In the evening, you'll admire the illuminations of the city that never sleeps.

You'll also discover the immersive and interactive exhibition on the second floor. You'll relive the history of the Empire State Building from its creation in the 1920s to the many exhibitions that have enlivened New York's most iconic building!

Then continue to the 102ᵉ floor via a unique glass elevator: this all-glass VIP platform offers an even higher, unobstructed perspective (up to 80 miles of visibility on a clear day).
