Your Empire State Building Observatory Ticket gives you entrance to the 86th Floor Observatory which offers some of the best 360° panoramic views of Manhattan and Beyond – on a clear day clear day you can see for almost 80 miles, with five states in view- New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts. The Observatory has a heated, glass-enclosed area, which is surrounded by an outdoor open-air terrace, equipped with high-power binoculars. Visit during the day and see the New York in all its glory or for a more romantic experience, visit at night and see the illuminated city sparkle.
