General

Edge NYC is an outdoor observation deck located on the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards in Manhattan. It offers unobstructed 360-degree views of the iconic New York City skyline from the highest outdoor viewing platform in the Western Hemisphere.

The Observatory

The main highlight is the outdoor sky deck with angled glass walls providing seamless panoramic vistas of landmarks like the Empire State Building, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, and the Hudson River. The triangular glass floor sections create a unique vertigo-inducing experience.

The Experience

• High-speed elevators whisk you up to the 100th floor in just 52 seconds.

• The indoor sky deck offers climate-controlled viewing areas with floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

• Immersive multimedia displays in the entrance area set the stage for the observation deck experience.

• The angled glass walls extend out from the building, giving the illusion of floating in mid-air.

Tips

• Purchase flexible entry tickets online in advance to skip the ticket lines.

• Visit around sunset to catch stunning views of the city lights and skyline.

• Dress in layers as the outdoor deck can be windy and cooler than ground level.

• Allow 1-2 hours to fully experience the observation deck and take in the views.

• Check the website for clear weather conditions for the best visibility.

• Strollers, small bags, and backpacks are permitted, but large luggage is not allowed.
