    Soaring 1,454 feet (443 meters) above Midtown Manhattan from base to antenna, the Empire State Building (ESB) is one of the world's most famous buildings. The 86th Floor Observation Deck, open daily from 8 AM-2 AM, offers the highest 360-degree open-air vantage point in New York City. On a clear day, you can see up to six states — New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. With this day and night ticket, experience the city from the 360-degree, open-air observatory both under the sun and the sparkling city lights the same night. Guests will also have access to the brand-new Observatory Experience complete with 10,000 square feet (929 square meters) of interactive exhibits that invite you on a journey beginning with the building's construction to its current place in pop culture. The night ticket is redeemable after 9 PM or 10 PM, depending on the date selected.

      Great views despite being a bit cloudy. Nice touch having heaters outside as it was really windy. Obviously more popular than Top of the Rock during the day as the queues were huge, took about 30 mins to get in, then started to flow ok, but got stuck again at King Kong for 20 min (probably just to limit the number of people outside, but no explanation at the time). Went back in the evening and no queue at all, straight up to the top. Fantastic night-time views over the city and beyond. Beware the printed photo offered is the only background, if you want others, you have to buy the digital download package

      Very good impression on the empire, go up in the morning not crowded and in the evening after 9pm very close to the hotel where we were careful the elevator drops you off at the 80th floor you do yaaouu !! and you take pictures but you have windows on this floor, then after that you go up to the 86th floor and it is better to take your pictures from there because you no longer have the windows which can spoil your pictures a bit. To do absolutely

      Have been in it both during the day and at night. Enjoyed the beautiful view. Unfortunately you cannot take beautiful photos at night. Very disappointing. The information displays and the lamps reflect in the windows. It is very easy to solve by installing light-shielding screens at night. Very friendly staff.
