Empire State Building: 102nd Floor Top Deck & 86th Floor Observatory

Start with the interactive exhibits on the second and 80th floors. Here, you will relive the Empire State Building’s construction, explore its roles in films like _King Kong_ and _Sleepless in Seattle_, and learn about its place in global culture. Visit the 86th Floor Observatory, the highest 360º open-air observatory in NYC. From 1,054 ft (320 m) above Manhattan, take in unobstructed views of the skyline, from Central Park to the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, and beyond. Known as one of the most Instagrammed spots in the world, it is the perfect place for photos. Then, continue to the reimagined 102nd Floor Observatory. Ride to the top in a glass elevator, where floor-to-ceiling windows, on a clear day, you can see up to 80 miles across six states. Finally, visit the building’s Art Deco Fifth Avenue lobby of golden murals and elegant design that has welcomed millions of visitors from around the world.
