Description
Experience a once in a lifetime sunrise at the Empire State Building
Observatory ranked the #1 top attraction in New York City.
Available exclusively on Saturday mornings, this VIP experience lets you
skip the crowds and enjoy private early access to the legendary 86th Floor
Observatory before the building opens to the public. Greeted by a Building
Ambassador in the Art Deco Fifth Avenue Lobby, you will ascend into the
quiet of dawn and join a small, intimate group for this rare opportunity.
From 1,054 feet above Manhattan, watch as the skyline awakens in magical
morning light. Marvel at 360° panoramic views of New York City’s most
famous landmarks - Central Park, Times Square, and the Statue of Liberty.
Capture unforgettable photos without the crowds, whether you visit as a
family, couple, or solo traveler.
After the sunrise, continue your journey through the Empire State Building’s
immersive museum galleries, where interactive exhibits showcase the
tower’s construction, cultural legacy, and pop-culture fame - from Kong to
