5.00The staf were professional and courteous. It was not crowded. We are able to enjoy the space and views. The Sky Point presentation was well done by Melanie. Refreshments were abit expensive. But overall a wonderful experience.

One World Observatory, in the tallest building in North America

5.00I was not expecting the dramatic reveal of the view following the introductory video. It was definitely a wow moment. You are getting the downtown view of the area, which means you won't see any of Central Park. You do see the Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges and great views up to Midtown and over to Long Island and New Jersey. We enjoyed the experience, and it was a little cheaper than the other observation decks we considered.
Unbelievable views.
