One World Observatory tickets

The One World Observatory at Freedom Tower offers expansive 360-degree views in all directions of New York City. Special Sky Pod elevators take you up in just 47 seconds; but, the experience is more than pretty views - it's an interactive visual experience. With a standard ticket, you can skip the hassle of the box office line and proceed right to the top! Your visit includes:

• Dynamically-generated world map that highlights hometowns of visitors
• "Voices" and "Foundations", two programs that describe the building's history and the people who constructed it
• Virtual time-lapse video of the development of New York City’s skyline from the 1500s to present-day
• Sky Portal, a 14-foot wide circular disc in the floor with a real-time high-definition video of the streets below
• City Pulse, a ring of monitors with gesture recognition technology for close-up views and personalized recommendations

• If traveling with a child 5 and under, please visit the guest services desk to collect a free ticket for your child. Everyone is required to have a ticket to visit the observation deck
• The standard ticket allows you to skip the hassle of the box office line. Depending on how crowded it is, there might be some waiting to get up to the top
• In case of bad visibility the location will be closed, the ticket is not refundable, but you can exchange it for a new one to use on a day with better weather conditions
