You’ve never experienced New York like this before.

360° VIEWS
Edge's unique vantage point on the western side of Manhattan lets you take in the entire skyline from one place. See all the way from the tip of Central Park down to the Statue of Liberty and beyond.

OUTDOOR SKY DECK
Leave the building and step out into the sky, suspended more than 1,100 feet up with 7,500 sqft of outdoor space, spanning 80 feet straight out into the air.

ANGLED GLASS WALLS
Feel the thrill of leaning out over the edge with the busy city below. The outdoor deck is made of frameless glass panels boldly angled outward.

THE GLASS FLOOR
Stand on top of the glass floor and look 100 stories straight down to see the city streets below your feet.

THE SKYLINE SEATS
Get an even higher perspective from the outdoor seats. Look out over the top of the glass panels and past the edge of the deck. Enjoy the view and hang out in the sky with your friends and family.

THE EASTERN POINT
At The Eastern Point, there's space for one person to stand alone, surrounded by glass, air, and sky. You've never felt New York like this before—or had a picture quite like it!

I've never seen New York City like this before. 100 stories high on the edge of a skyscraper is a wild view. Besides the fantastic visuals of the city, Edge has a lovely bar and gift shop. I purchased the ticket option that included a glass of champagne, which I redeemed at the bar. I highly recommend this experience for everyone.

The weather was great for a Saturday Morning in December. No waiting in line and the elevator ride up to the 101 floor was smooth and fantastic. Great views with plenty of photo opportunities.

"Don’t bother - Empire State / Rockefeller much better"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed December 02, 2024 NEW
The worst tourist attraction I’ve ever been to - let alone just NYC. Had to queue 30 minutes to get in (despite a timed ticket?) and over 100 MINUTES TO GET OUT. We spent just 6 minutes looking at the view. The queue to leave is so disorganised and not managed by any staff (they can’t even tell you where the line starts so you wonder around looking?) so there’s constant queue jumping and a high number of very, very angry guests. It’s so crowded you can’t move because no one can get out and more and more people just keep arriving in the lifts. The Empire State and Rockefeller manage to organise an almost identical attraction with zero hassle, this is much newer and apparently state of the art, so what has gone wrong? Not worth the money or the hassle, nor do they respond to complaints. Go elsewhere.
