Empire State Building Observation Deck

For the better part of a century, visitors to the New York have headed straight to the Empire State Building for the thrill of a lifetime: the journey aloft to its fabled Observatory nearly a quarter of a mile above Fifth Avenue. Here you are treated to breathtaking panoramas across the rooftops, avenues and byways of the New York Metropolitan areas, to as far away as four neighboring states.

New York Pass grants its holders free entry to the Empire State Building Observation Deck & to 50 other top Attractions in New York City.

When you are visiting Empire State Building with the New York Pass, you can also try the New York Skyride - an awesome aerial tour of New York City that sends you on a ride around, above and even below all the city has to offer… and it is also free for New York Pass holders.

Visiting just those 2 Attractions would cost you over $55 - but with the NY Pass you don't need to pay a cent, and there are still 50 more Attractions to visit.
