About this experience

Edge Express Pass Tickets with Skip-the-Line Entry The Edge Express Pass gives you flexible access to the Western Hemisphere's highest outdoor observation deck at Hudson Yards. This skip-the-line ticket lets you visit Edge anytime during opening hours on your chosen date, standing 1,131 feet above Manhattan's streets for 360-degree views across New York City. Your flexible entry ticket includes access to the triangular observation platform that extends 80 feet out from the building, plus the daring glass floor where you can look straight down at the city below. Interactive exhibits throughout the experience add context to the landmarks you'll spot, from the Empire State Building to the Hudson River. The platform's unique angled design and floor-to-ceiling glass walls create unobstructed sightlines in every direction.

Take the subway to 34th Street-Hudson Yards station (7 train) or 34th Street-Penn Station (various lines), then walk 5-10 minutes to the entrance.
