Begin your journey on Level 4 of The Shops at Hudson Yards, where you will enter into an immersive multimedia experience explaining the design, construction, and sustainability of Hudson Yards. Then, head up over 1100 feet to the Observation Deck, and then 80 feet out into the air on the Outdoor Sky Deck. Here, frameless glass panel walls are boldly angled outwards to allow you to feel the thrill of leaning out over the edge with the busy city below.

I had an amazing experience! Buying was really easy, just had to show up on the queue, show the ticket on my phone and was allowed to go in 20 minutes before my scheduled time. Went on a saturday and wasn't crowded at all, super easy to take photos around the deck. Views are definitely worth it and the glass floor is cool. Totally recommend this experience!

Almost a Must Do, an unmissable activity, a magnificent view, walking on the transparent platform is a nice experience, my 5 year old daughter loved it. In the morning around 11 a.m., there was no wait, very few people, and the view was clear.

Just incredible and dizzyingly excellent! The weather allowed us to have the magnificent view of all of NY... It's magnificent! The children loved it. Everything is well organized, we had no wait while doing it in the morning

It was amazing! It was cheaper than the “official” website for this attraction. Really happy with it

A fantastic activity with brilliant views. The members of staff were excellent.
