The two most dramatic sky-high perspectives in New York City, combined. One World Observatory puts you 102 floors above Lower Manhattan in the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, with 360° views across the full sweep of the city. Edge at Hudson Yards takes things further — an outdoor triangular deck on the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards that juts 65 feet into the open air, with angled glass walls, a glass floor panel looking straight down 1,131 feet to the streets, and the distinction of being the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere. Two extraordinary perspectives — one downtown, one midtown — on New York's incomparable skyline

About One World Observatory Ticket + Edge Observation Deck
New York's observation deck landscape is one of the most competitive in the world — but One World Observatory and Edge at Hudson Yards occupy different points on the spectrum in ways that make them genuinely complementary rather than redundant.
One World Observatory is an indoor, climate-controlled experience in one of the most historically significant buildings on the planet. Its Sky Pod Elevator, City Pulse data visualisations, Tour Ambassadors, and 360° sightlines make it an experience with emotional depth and narrative — you understand what you're looking at and why it matters. Edge, by contrast, is pure sensation. The triangular platform that projects from the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards was engineered specifically to maximise the feeling of exposure: the angled outward glass walls invite you to lean out over the city, and the glass floor panel below your feet offers an unobstructed vertical drop of 1,131 feet. Standing on it — knowing the glass is rated for far more than your weight but feeling the openness of the sky on all sides — is one of those physical experiences that genuinely tests your relationship with altitude. The bar on the 101st floor directly above allows you to extend the experience over champagne or cocktails with the Midtown skyline as backdrop. Book on Thrillark.

Insiders' Tips
Visit Edge at sunset for the most dramatic experience — the Midtown skyline in golden and pink light, transitioning to the fully illuminated city after dark, is consistently described by visitors as one of the most spectacular things they have ever seen. Edge's outdoor platform is open to the elements — dress for the weather and bring an extra layer even in summer. At One World Observatory, the Sky Portal glass floor on the 100th floor is the single most photographed feature — visit early in your time slot to enjoy it before it gets crowded.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Edge different from One World Observatory?
One World Observatory is an indoor, fully enclosed observation deck in Lower Manhattan offering 360° views through glass and immersive exhibits. Edge at Hudson Yards is an outdoor sky deck in Midtown with angled glass walls and a glass floor for a more exposed, thrilling experience. The main difference is that One World is indoor and enclosed, while Edge is outdoor and designed for maximum height exposure.
Is Edge safe for visitors who are afraid of heights?
Edge at Hudson Yards has a strong safety record, with highly engineered structures and reinforced glass designed to exceed safety requirements. However, it is an outdoor, open-air sky deck with angled glass walls and a glass floor that create a strong sense of height and exposure. Because of this design, visitors with acrophobia may find the experience more intense than expected. While many people find it thrilling rather than uncomfortable, those with significant fear of heights should be prepared for a very exposed environment.
How do I get from One World Observatory to Edge?
One World Observatory is in Lower Manhattan at the World Trade Center complex. Edge is at Hudson Yards in Midtown West. The two locations are approximately 6 miles apart. The most straightforward route is the 7 subway line from Hudson Yards back through Midtown, then transfer to the 1, 2, 3, or E trains going downtown. Travel time is approximately 25–35 minutes by subway. Alternatively, a taxi or rideshare takes approximately 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Plan accordingly to allow time for both experiences in the same day.
