Things to know before booking your One World Observatory tickets

  1. Waiting time to get through security and to the elevator can increase significantly during peak season, weekends, and sunset hours. You can save time by booking a deluxe or all-inclusive ticket, which gives you priority entry to the elevator and security lines.
  2. During non-peak hours, consider the standard entry ticket, which let's you skip past the box office line and head straight to security.
  3. Only the all-inclusive ticket gives you flexible entry to the One World Observatory. This is helpful if you're booking in advance and unsure of what your plans are for the day.
  4. Upgrade to the VIP Tour for a guided 1-hour tour, with fast-tracked, escorted entry and exit to the elevators, access to the observation deck, the Sky Portal, the SkyPod elevator, and a food and drink voucher. If this is your first visit, make the most of it by diving deep with a tour guide.
  5. If you plan on spending a few hours at the observatory and combining your visit with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, head to One Dine for a diverse spread of gourmet cuisine with stellar views of the city. The deluxe, all-inclusive ticket, & VIP Tour include a voucher that can be used at the restaurant or the gift shop.
  6. Knock off two iconic attractions on your visit. The 9/11 Memorial & Museum and One World Observatory are both a part of One World Trade Center. Choose a combo ticket to visit both attractions at a discounted price.
