What you can expect

Begin your visit at the Empire State Building, now beautifully decorated for the holidays with twinkling lights, festive decor, and a grand Christmas tree in the Art Deco Fifth Avenue Lobby. This season also features a special partnership with the Rockettes from Radio City Music Hall, bringing exclusive holiday displays and photo moments inspired by the Radio City Christmas Spectacular.

Start with the highlight of New York City, the legendary 86th Floor Observatory, the highest open-air deck in NYC. At 1,050 feet (320 meters), it offers unobstructed 360-degree views of Manhattan and beyond. Marvel at the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Times Square, Brooklyn Bridge, and One World Trade Center. On clear days, see up to six states - New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Delaware. With high-powered binoculars and climate-controlled indoor galleries, the observatory provides perfect photo opportunities year-round - especially against the city’s holiday lights.

For the ultimate skyline perspective, upgrade to the 102nd Floor Observatory, recently renovated with floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Soaring 1,250 feet above Manhattan, it offers panoramic views stretching up to 80 miles - a breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Every ticket includes access to the Fifth Avenue Lobby, adorned with glittering holiday decor that captures the season’s spirit. Short on time - Choose an Express Ticket for red-carpet entry and the fastest way to the top.

From festive decor and Rockettes inspired displays to unmatched 360-degree views, immersive museum exhibits, and timeless Art Deco design, the Empire State Building is the ultimate New York City holiday experience - where tradition, magic, and skyline views come together in unforgettable fashion.

After the views, step into history at the 2nd Floor Museum, where 12 immersive exhibits bring the Empire State Building’s story to life. Relive the dramatic Race to the Sky, walk through scenes from the 1920s, and stand in King Kong’s hands for a one-of-a-kind photo. Discover how this landmark became a cultural icon through its starring roles in King Kong, Elf, and more.
