Sunset in the sky

Barbara_M, Apr 2024

The entrance is clearly marked, voucher easy to convert and being 100 stories up near the river as sunset unfolded was a great thing to share with my family.

Brilliant

Mairead_N, Apr 2024

Absolutely and amazing experience.... Loved the views.... Thought the staff were all polite and professional... Throughout..

The Edge

michelkury, Apr 2024

Fantastic, it was a great experience. No fear in walking on the glass and shopping was great, a lot of great shops.

Wow

Gail_C, Apr 2024

Loved this experience and going on to the deck was amazing. The glass panel in the floor has to be done. What a fantastic experience.

Far too crowded

Louisa_L, Apr 2024

Zero visibility for our time of entry , fair enough, bad weather is out of anyone’s control but we were told we could return in the evening. We went all the way back to be told we needed new tickets, sorted that but the deck was closed to high winds but we could go and look from the inside which we did but it was far too crowded and queues to try and get back down

Viator refused to refund

Shenelle_W, Apr 2024

Unfortunately we didn’t get to experience this event. As we arrived the young man at front told us it was raining and we can reschedule or chance it. We had no other day to reschedule to so we said we’ll still go up. After walking down to elevator attendant she told us nobody can go up it’s closed. We went back to front where everyone who purchased through edge got refunds and we were told to contact viator whom refused refund. We never cancelled or refused to go up due to weather. Edge closed it down. Unsure I’ll use this site in future.

Great view from NYC.

Franck_B, Apr 2024

Great attraction. Superb view of the city. Would definitely recommend it, especially on a sunny day.

Extraordinary experience

SUNDARRAJA_P, Apr 2024

Enjoyed every minute of the edge of life feel. I wish more people would experience it. Better feeling than Tilt of Chicago

Must Do for Thrill Seekers

Phyo_M, Apr 2024

It was a last minute decision to do the Edge with my wife, and I am glad we did it. View was amazing and thrilling. Must do activity in NYC!

Elevator ride was nice,...

Chris_G, Apr 2024

Elevator ride was nice, walkthrough and whole UX was planned out well, we were directed very clearly by everyone on where to go also.

The city never sleeps view at 100

Sabyasachi_S, Apr 2024

Awesome experience to have at night where you see the whole of new york lit up highly recommended ….

Too little for too much

Ivan_F, Apr 2024

View is great if you haven't been on any other observation. But the most irritating thing was event on floor above that you aren't informed about so they block half of stairs and the floor itself. Also there was really rude personel bothering us about where can we stand. For just a view and nothing else to do except pumped prices for beverages the price is too high.

Bezt city view

EduardoJr_D, Apr 2024

The best city vewpoint experience..a lot better than Empire States'..very worth your money!! We were late a day because of flight cancellation but we've been accomodated nevertheless...best service ever!!

Awesome views of skyline

john_l, Apr 2024

Visited at sunset. The colours and skyline at this time, on such a clear day, really made our visit very memorable. We all loved it.

AMAZING

Pauline_H, Apr 2024

It was great, the view was amazing despite the bad weather and visuability. I would definitely come back for another trip.

Disappointed

Tiffany_D, Apr 2024

Awful experience, the weather was terrible which I know can’t be helped but there was no offer of a refund as we can’t do an alternative date as it was our last day. I found the staff to be unsympathetic to our frustration also.

View this!

Joelle_W, Apr 2024

Quite the experience. Visually appealing and exciting! Recommend getting a drink included with ticket, they are more expensive when you are at the top. The view is incredible and worth it

Fabulous views

Ailsa_B, Apr 2024

Fabulous views. Worth the trip. A bit of queuing to start, but as you queue you learn about the history of Hudson Yards. We were a bit nervous about the lift ride to the top but the way this is done with story visials on the walls inside you barely notice the brief ride to the top. Fabulous views and you feel totally safe.

Perfect at sunset

Dan_B, Apr 2024

Perfectly timed for the sunset. Views over Manhattan were amazing. Definitely recommend this to everyone.

too many people

Paul_S, Apr 2024

thought it was a timed entry to limit people on the edge at one time. It was so crowded on Friday morning that we had a hard time seeing at the glass and walking around
