The majestic Empire State Building was completed in 1931 as the world's tallest building. While not the tallest, it remains as impressive as ever. At night the building is lit up, with special colors displayed on holidays. Tickets can be purchased online through the Empire State Building's website or in the building's lobby. The observatory is open 9:30a-midnight daily, 365 days a year. Last elevators go up at 11:15pm.

  • Best view in the world.
  • Always very crowded.

“The view from the observation deck is, without a doubt, the most impressive in the world. And now, since November 2005, you can also get into the 102nd story observation deck, which had been closed for many years. Tickets for 102 must be purchased in person (not on-line) and cost $10 over the normal admission. There is no secret to avoiding crowds. It is always crowded, but the earlier you get there the better. Also, the new ticketing area on the second floor seems to handle crowds better than the old lower level arrangement. Do not forget to linger a bit in the lobby and admire the wonderful art deco style decoration.”

  • Symbol of New York
  • Long lines like any other NY tourist site

“The Empire State building offers a beautiful view of Manhattan. With the sad departure of the World Trade Center, the Empire State building symbolizes New York City. It's definitely a tourist trap, and many locals have never been to the top - but if you want to say you have done it - go when the kids are at school.”
