There are many great and iconic places to enjoy views of New York, but I really love One World Observatory. It's located in the far south of Manhattan so you can see all the way up Manhattan right into upstate New York (on a good...More

A wonderful building with fantastic views. The elevators are an experience in themselves - you don’t even realise how high you’re travelling when you’re in them.

Is it worth going at night? How is the view?

AnswerShow all 3 answers

Hi, Many of our guests enjoy coming to the top right before sunset. That way you get the best of the day views, night views, and not to mention, the gorgeous sunset! Best, Delfin

Can we do both the ground zero tour and Freedom tower observatory in a short amount of time? We only have about 6 hours between flights and I'd love to be able to go up in the tower and to be able to see the memorial fountains. I know we don't have time for the museum.

Buy your tickets on line. You get a time to enter. Go to their website to look at all the options But with 6 hours and traffic and TSA? 6 hours is not enough to get out and come and look for entrance etc...

Do I need to book a ticket if I've booked one dine? I'm aware I need to pay admission but do I also need to book a time to enter? Any advice appreciated

AnswerShow all 6 answers

Yes. To access the 101st floor, you need to enter with the rest of the visitors. They suggest allowing yourself an hour to get through, so schedule your reservation at least an hour before your dinner reservation. Enjoy!
