Visiting One World Observatory was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped into the sleek and modern lobby, we knew we were in for something special. The elevator ride alone is incredible, as you watch the transformation of New York City’s skyline over the centuries in a matter of seconds. Once we reached the top, the 360-degree views were breathtaking — you can see the entire city, including iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and Brooklyn Bridge. The interactive displays and digital guides really added to the experience, giving us detailed insights into the buildings and neighborhoods we were looking at. There’s also a sense of awe knowing you're at the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, which is a remarkable feat in itself. The staff was friendly and efficient, and though it was busy, the observatory is spacious enough that it never felt crowded. We also enjoyed a snack at the café while soaking in the views, which made for a perfect break before heading back down. If you're in New York, this is an absolute must-do. It's not just about the views — it's about experiencing the heart and soul of the city from above. Highly recommend!

The observation deck is the best view of the city, but the expense is fairly high for what amounts to walking around a room for 15 minutes. The 'skip the line' ticket simply allows you to go to a seperate line through security. After that, everyone is in the same line for the elevator, everyone is in the same line for the 'movie', everyone is in the same line to get through the mandatory picture area, and everyone is in the same line to get through the 'upsale' area where they try and sell you a tablet that explains what you are looking at (not sure how anyone with a smart phone thinks this is helpful). The trip is a continuous and unavoidable attempt to sell you additional services and products.

I am a former Metropolitan Police Officer and was deployed as a Family Liaison Officer to the american husband of his British wife who perished in the incident. To be able to see some of the remnants of the towers and to find the wife's name at the memorial was very emotional and humbling. I had wanted to visit the site for many years ad I am so glad I have now finally done so.

A wonderful , tasteful memorial to all the 9/11 victims and a great privilege to be there. Staff throughout were friendly and helpful and there was a suitably respectful atmosphere. The museum does justice to the event and all the victims and the final video on the humanity of the day , all the boats turning up to evacuate hundreds of thousands of Manhattan residents ( which we were unaware of) left a big lump in my throat and xthe shedding of a tear or two. Thank you.

The views were spectacular and the video of the City's growth overtime on the elevator ride up was really cool. It would have been good if more instructions were provided about the use of the $15 voucher and the tablet provided. I booked in advance and didn't remember everything I paid for when I got there.

The rocket elevator was so smooth I didn't have a chance to get dizzy:) And although it was a rainy day, the storm subsided enough to let see well into the other burroughs. Breathtaking and awesome are the two words I'd use to describe the views and overall experience.

The observation deck is the best view of the city, but the expense is fairly high for what amounts to walking around a room for 15 minutes. The 'skip the line' ticket simply allows you to go to a seperate line through security. After that, everyone is in the same line for the elevator, everyone is in the same line for the 'movie', everyone is in the same line to get through the mandatory picture area, and everyone is in the same line to get through the 'upsale' area where they try and sell you a tablet that explains what you are looking at (not sure how anyone with a smart phone thinks this is helpful). The trip is a continuous and unavoidable attempt to sell you additional services and products.

We expected that people with tickets would have a shorter wait. Unfortunately, everyone had tickets and had to wait in line for 2 hours in the sun until the security check. Then another 1 hour until we were on the ship. On Ellis Island (also with a long wait) there was little time for the exhibition and we were back in Manhattan on the last ferry at 5:40 pm. The trip to Liberty Island and Ellis Island was very nice. However, we spent a good 4.5 hours of the more than 7 hours in line.

Visiting One World Observatory was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped into the sleek and modern lobby, we knew we were in for something special. The elevator ride alone is incredible, as you watch the transformation of New York City’s skyline over the centuries in a matter of seconds. Once we reached the top, the 360-degree views were breathtaking — you can see the entire city, including iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and Brooklyn Bridge. The interactive displays and digital guides really added to the experience, giving us detailed insights into the buildings and neighborhoods we were looking at. There’s also a sense of awe knowing you're at the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, which is a remarkable feat in itself. The staff was friendly and efficient, and though it was busy, the observatory is spacious enough that it never felt crowded. We also enjoyed a snack at the café while soaking in the views, which made for a perfect break before heading back down. If you're in New York, this is an absolute must-do. It's not just about the views — it's about experiencing the heart and soul of the city from above. Highly recommend!

Working with Headout was easy on my phone. Visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island was very moving and emotional. We didn't have tickets to go inside the statue, but wished we had bought them. The tickets were reasonably priced, which was a big plus for us. Everyone working with our excursion were polite and knowledgeable. It was so interesting to see how the statue was built and shipped. The enclosed pictures help to show the scale of her size.

Everything about this trip was great. The online booking system was fast and very user friendly. The ferry service to Liberty Island and Ellis Island was very good ( the exiting and boarding take a little time ) but overall very good. I have mobility issues and the staff were both friendly and very helpful making sure that I embarked and disembarked safely. The museum's on Liberty island and Ellis island are both very good and definitely worth taking the time to visit them. Food and drinks are available and very reasonably priced f considering they are busy tourist attractions. Highly recommend this trip for all, young and old.

I could have spent all day on the observation deck. This experience was amazingly breathtaking. The only downside was when trying to leave. The line to exit was wrapped around twice with no clear beginning or end. There were so many people you really could not move. In the event of an emergency, it could have ended poorly. Establishing a better exit strategy will make this experience even more magical than it already was.

Not your fault but weather spoilt it , also could not walk on glass floor , loud school parties which I was not expecting, apart from the extra payment to climb , there didn't see much to do unlike ESB , Summit and World trade , it needs something else for the money I paid

The 9/11 Memorial was very moving and getting to read about alot of the victims was super special as well. The One World observatory's views of New York were amazing! Highly recommend both experiences!

It was wonderful, an incredible feeling. I've never climbed such a tall building for the first time, and I'm very grateful to have made such a memory.

The overall experience was really good. Just one advice for the visiting people, don't take the ipad. Watch the show for better understanding

Insane views of the city. People were nice about photos as well by not clogging up the glass. Book on a sunny clear day and you'll have the best time. Worth the money in my opinion

IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE VIEW OF NYC, the attraction starts in the elevator, I thought the projections on the walls were really cool, a mixture of technology and nostalgia. I also really liked the service and the organization, but it was a shame that the day was cloudy and the scenery was a bit spoiled. I'll definitely be back.

The impressive views mainly; although at the beginning it was something as spectacular as the illuminated beams, and to see how the elevator works, not to say

Spectacular sunset. The beveled glass walls are also great. The glass floor and the view downwards are somewhat disappointing.

There was too many people, maybe you should put some time limit. Because everyone wants to take a picture and to walk, to see the city from the rooftop. But there was a lot of people at same time on same place. We were not able to take a photo. Maybe time limit will solve this problem. Time limit of one hour

This was a great experience. Views are breath taking and there was no rushing you away. We could take out time to take in the views and get some pictures. Went at sunset and it was busy and plenty of people who didn't understand the concept of queuing for certain locations. The outside deck is on one corner but you can get inside views of the whole 360 degree surroundings. Longest queue was to get down but even that went quick quick. Can definitely recommend

I visited the Edge in the morning and it was great because there were few people so I was able to take advantage of the opportunity to see the city and take photos more calmly

The perfect time, just before sunset. This way, you could see the city in the light and also in transition, when the lights in the streets or on the buildings go on.

The elevator ride at the beginning was really nice and this made us even more excited! We combined day light with sunset and even when it was really crowded the vibe was amazing! We were allowed to skip the line as a couple when heading back downstairs so this went really fast which made us expierence complete 🤗
