Get the Whole Picture

Sixteen floors above the 86^th Floor Observatory, the Empire State Building’s Top Deck provides our most spectacular views of the city and beyond. Central Park comes into full view, the grid of streets reveals its brilliant design, and on a clear day you can see beyond the skyscrapers up to 80 miles away. An added bonus of visiting the Top Deck is taking a ride in our manually operated Otis elevator. Instead of counting floors, watch your altitude rise as you ascend. Don’t forget to quiz your operator and take lots of pictures!
