Edge NYC Tickets

Edge NYC tickets start at $43.12 for the standard Edge Immersive Observation Deck ticket, which is also the most reviewed option I found, at 4.63 stars from 23,698 reviews. The outdoor sky deck sits about 340 m up, according to Wikipedia. I’d go about an hour before sunset and stay for the lights.

I compared every Edge ticket and tour that you can book on GetYourGuide right now: one standard ticket, one multi-attraction pass and five guided tours that include or offer entry. Prices, ratings and inclusions for these Edge NYC tickets come from the listings, checked in October 2026, in US dollars. Links open GetYourGuide in a new tab, and I earn a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you.

Edge NYC at a Glance

Edge is the outdoor sky deck on the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards, a supertall office tower in Manhattan designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox. According to Wikipedia, it is the seventh-tallest building in New York City. Here are the numbers behind the Edge NYC tickets on this page, each with its source.

The building’s height and the deck’s height differ, and the two get mixed up. The tower is 395 m, while the deck is at 340 m, which is roughly 1,115 feet.

What	Detail
Decks	Indoor sky deck and Skyline Bar and Cafe on Level 100, plus the outdoor sky deck with angled glass walls, per the ticket listing
Special features	Glass floor, Skyline Seats and Eastern Point, per the listing

Time to allow	About 1 hour on the standard ticket

“the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere at 1,100 feet”

Opening times shift on event days. When I checked the official site it listed a late opening on some dates, so look at the day you plan to go before you buy Edge NYC tickets.

Edge NYC Observation Deck Tickets

If you only want the view, this is where I’d start among all the Edge NYC tickets. The Edge Immersive Observation Deck ticket covers the indoor sky deck on Level 100, the outdoor platform with its angled glass walls, and the glass floor, Skyline Seats and Eastern Point. Your visit begins on Level 4, where light and mirror installations such as Pulse, Crystal Cave and Infinite City fill the ascent. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before, and the visit takes about an hour.

What I like about this ticket is how much it bundles for one price. You aren’t paying extra for the glass floor or the outdoor deck, which is how some competing decks split their pricing. The listing describes Edge as an all-weather, all-day destination, and that is a real advantage on a grey day, because the indoor sky deck and the installations still work when the wind is up. The weak point is the other side of that: reviewers mention that the highest deck was not always open, so Edge NYC tickets are best booked with flexibility. Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead lets you move your slot if the forecast turns, and that is the reason I’d always book the standard ticket first and add a tour later.

Edge NYC Tickets and Prices

The cheapest way onto the deck is the standard ticket at $43.12, and the next step up is a bundle. The New York Pass from Go City is a different kind of product at $169 for 1 to 10 days, since it is a digital pass for more than 100 attractions with Edge among them. It only pays off if you plan a busy trip. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours ahead. One reviewer wrote that the outdoor deck was closed on their visit, so bad weather matters more with a pass, where you may have fewer spare days.

The pass is also a different way to think about Edge NYC tickets. Instead of one timed slot, you get a digital pass and a list of attractions, so the real question is how many of the others you will visit. The listing names the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty ferry and MoMA among them, and the pass is valid for 1 to 10 days, depending on the option. Reviewers like the ease of booking and the savings, though one notes that some attractions redirect you to the organiser’s own site to reserve. With a pass I’d reserve the Edge slot early, not on the day.

Edge NYC Reviews

Edge NYC tickets have a large review base, and the reviews are mostly positive about the glass floor and the angled walls. The complaints are practical: closures of the highest part of the deck and parts of the Vessel. If you want something more than a ticket, the private Hudson Yards and High Line tour from ExperienceFirst has 129 reviews and a 4.3 rating, with guides praised by name in the snippets. Edge entry is an option on it, so choose the option that includes the ticket.

The other tours on this page share a pattern worth knowing. They run from 2 to 3.5 hours, they start somewhere other than the deck, and most end with entry to the sky deck. If you want the ticket plus a story about the neighbourhood, they make sense. If you only want the view, they add time and cost without adding height, so I’d save the money.

Edge NYC Promo Code

I didn’t find a working promo code for Edge NYC tickets, and I won’t make one up. The lowest price in my data is the City Wonders Chelsea and High Line walking tour at $29, rated 4.74 from 34 reviews. Edge entry is an optional extra on it, as the listing says, so the $29 is the price of the tour, not the price of the deck. If a discount matters to you, check what the final total is once you add the ticket option.

The same caution applies to every discount you see on Edge NYC tickets. Third-party codes come and go, and the listing price already includes what the listing says it includes. My advice is to compare the final checkout total, not the headline price, and to book a refundable option so you can switch if a better deal appears before the 24-hour cutoff.

Edge NYC Height

Whatever Edge NYC tickets you choose, the tower is 395 m with 73 floors and opened in 2020, per Wikidata. The deck is at 340 m according to Wikipedia’s list, and the official site rounds this to 1,100 feet. On a clear day that height puts the horizon about 65.8 km away, using the standard distance formula. For a tour that adds a second viewpoint at sea level, LetzGo combines the deck with Little Island at Pier 55 and Vessel in a 3-hour guided visit.

Edge NYC Address

Edge is at 30 Hudson Yards, New York, NY 10001, per Google Maps, and your Edge NYC tickets are scanned at the Level 4 entrance. The listing says the entrance is the Edge store on Level 4 of The Shops at Hudson Yards, reached from 10th Avenue or from Hudson Yards Plaza. If you want a guide to get you there, the See Sight walking tour starts at Chelsea Market on 9th Avenue, walks the High Line into Hudson Yards and ends with entry to the deck. One reviewer says it ran only 56 minutes, so I’d treat it as a short walk with a ticket at the end.

Edge NYC Tickets Price

For a fair comparison of Edge NYC tickets, put the three kinds side by side. The standard ticket is $43.12. The guided tours that include Edge entry cost $89 to $320, so you pay for a guide, not for a higher deck. The remaining option is the Skyscrapers and Stories walking tour at $40, which is about the neighbourhood and the story of the Edge, rated 4.55 from only 3 reviews. The listing gives a vague duration and doesn’t clearly say it includes a ticket, so I’d read it before you book.

Edge NYC Restaurant

There is no full restaurant on my list, but the ticket lists the Skyline Bar and Cafe on Level 100, where you can order drinks as part of your visit. Drinks are not included in the price, per the listing. For a meal, the Hudson Yards shops and restaurants share the same entrance area, so I’d eat before or after your slot, not during it.

If you want a drink with the view, the Skyline Bar and Cafe is the place, and the listing mentions it as a premium extra you can add to a visit. I’d budget for that on top of the ticket price, since drinks are listed as not included.

NYC Edge Observation Deck at Hudson Yards Admission Ticket

An admission ticket is what the standard listing sells: entry to the deck and its installations, with a timed slot. It does not include a guide, transport or food, per the listing. If you book Edge NYC tickets with a tour, the tour meeting point is separate from the deck entrance, so read the meeting instructions on the listing.

That matters for Edge NYC tickets bought as part of a tour. The City Wonders walk meets outside the Whitney Museum at 99 Gansevoort St, the LetzGo tour meets 15 minutes early in front of the Vessel at 20 Hudson Yards, and the Skyscrapers and Stories walk begins in front of the office entrance to 30 Hudson Yards at W 33rd Street and Hudson Blvd E. Mixing these up is the easiest way to arrive at the wrong place on the day.

Best Time to Visit Edge NYC

The weather at the deck decides how good your Edge NYC tickets turn out. Open-Meteo data for 2025 at the building shows the lowest average cloud cover in August and October, each at 41 percent. May is the cloudiest at 74 percent and also has the most rainy days, 16. The sunset moves from 16:29 in December to 20:29 in June, so the slot you want changes with the season.

Month	Sunset (New York time)	Cloud cover	Sunshine a day	Rainy days
Jan	16:53	53%	7.4 h	7
Feb	17:31	69%	6.9 h	9
Mar	19:03	54%	8.8 h	7
Apr	19:35	70%	8.2 h	10
May	20:06	74%	8.4 h	16
Jun	20:29	65%	9.9 h	12
Jul	20:25	55%	12 h	15
Augclearest	19:53	41%	11.1 h	6
Sepclearest	19:04	52%	9.6 h	8
Octclearest	18:15	41%	8.4 h	9
Nov	16:37	57%	6.7 h	10
Dec	16:29	64%	5.9 h	8

I’d arrive 45 to 60 minutes before sunset. That gives you daylight for the first photos, the light change, and the lit city afterwards. For a quiet visit, one reviewer chose 9:30 AM and found it uncrowded. Weather data comes from Open-Meteo.

Sunshine is the other number I look at. July has the most, at 12 hours a day on average, while December has the least, at 5.9 hours. Edge NYC tickets for July or August are the safest bet for a clear outdoor deck, and the late sunset in June, at 20:29, gives the longest evening. Winter is shorter and colder, but the 16:29 December sunset means you can see the city lit up in the early evening without staying late.

What You Can See From Edge NYC

From 340 m the horizon is far out. Use the calculator for your own height and a clear day.

These landmarks are in view or near it from the deck where you use your Edge NYC tickets, with straight-line distances from Edge computed from Google Maps coordinates. The Empire State Building is 1.4 km (0.9 miles) away, Times Square 1.4 km (0.9 miles), the Flatiron Building 1.7 km (1.0 mile), Rockefeller Center 2.0 km (1.2 miles) and the Chrysler Building 2.2 km (1.3 miles). Central Park is 4.4 km (2.7 miles) north, the Brooklyn Bridge 5.3 km (3.3 miles) and the Statue of Liberty 8.0 km (5.0 miles) south.

Edge NYC vs Other Observation Decks in New York City

Edge is the newest of the big Manhattan decks, and the only one here with an outdoor platform at this height and a glass floor. Ratings are from Google Maps and distances are straight-line from Edge.

Deck	Google rating	Reviews	Distance from Edge	Free or paid
Edge NYC	4.6	34,092	n/a	Paid
Empire State Building	4.7	130,587	1.4 km	Paid
Top of the Rock	4.7	93,042	1.9 km	Paid
SUMMIT One Vanderbilt	4.7	37,523	1.9 km	Paid
One World Observatory	4.7	26,435	4.6 km	Paid
High Line Observation Deck	4.8	1,283	1.2 km	Free

If you can only do one, and you hold Edge NYC tickets already, I’d pick by what you want to see. The Empire State Building and Top of the Rock look at midtown from the east, while Edge looks at the Hudson and the new west side. The High Line is a free, low alternative nearby.

Edge sits at the western edge of Midtown, 1.4 km from the Empire State Building, so on a long weekend you can easily plan two decks, one by day and one at night. Because Edge NYC tickets are timed, I’d put Edge in the late afternoon slot and the second deck after dark. That way the one you book first is the one with the best light.

How I’d Choose

• Cheapest of the Edge NYC tickets: the Edge Immersive Observation Deck ticket at $43.12.
• Sunset: the same standard ticket, booked for a slot about an hour before sunset.
• Quietest visit: the standard ticket for the first slot of the morning.
• Families: the standard ticket, since the indoor deck and installations are all-weather.
• First visit with a guide: the City Wonders tour at $29 with the Edge option, or the private ExperienceFirst tour at $320.
• Combo with a tour: the LetzGo Little Island combo at $95, or the See Sight walk at $89.
• Several attractions: the $169 New York Pass, if you will use at least a few of the 100+ attractions.
