Skip the guesswork at Top of the Rock in NYC. Go straight to three decks with Empire State views, plus an optional BEAM upgrade.
“Rain or shine. Or snow. It’s was 10 degrees and limited visibility, the closed the upper most deck, likely due to wind. The beam experience is misleading, says a photo is included, however it’s $75 additional. The whole thing is awesome, but ticketing and add one add up. No refunds AT ALL due to weather…”
Ride to Edge at Hudson Yards for 360° NYC views, step onto the outdoor sky deck over 1,100 ft up, and get a digital souvenir photo.

VIP Rockefeller Center tour with Top of the Rock priority entry, secret rooftop garden, The Beam, Skylift, and a Champagne toast.
“Great tour and guide. Not too long and was willing to cater it to our pace. We were even able to visit the Rainbow Room which is almost always off limits even to this tour. So that was a great bonus.”
A 3-hour Edge and Midtown walk that pairs NYC icons with the Edge observation deck. Limited-size groups, mobile tickets, and flexible times.
“The guide was great but we went to the Edge and they didn't want to accept our admissions tickets so we didn't get to go up at all”

“Wish I had just purchased my tickets at the 911 memorial instead of this combo through Viator. The museum was awesome. This Viator combo ticket package was terribly expensive and was not worth the extra cost for our “tour guide”. The address for tour starting location Read more”
