Are your family travels taking you to New York City? If not, you might want to reconsider, as now is the perfect time to visit the Empire State Building. The famous building’s reimagined Observatory Experience was ranked first in Top Attractions in the U.S., and third in the world, in TripAdvisor’s 2022 Traveler’s Choice Best of the Best.
The $165 million reimagination of the Empire State Building Observatory Experience creates an all-new experience starting at the entrance, featuring an interactive museum with nine galleries and a redesigned 102 Floor Observatory with floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
The experience also includes newly installed QR codes around the Observatory Experience, offering guests more information about the area and the interactive museum galleries. Perfect for happy hour or date night, STATE Grill and Bar pop-up offers alcoholic beverages with amazing views on the 86th floor on Friday and Saturday.
Tipsy Scoop will also serve liquor-infused ice cream, Wednesday through Sunday, until Sept. 5, 1p.m.–9 p.m.
Travelers looking to catch an unforgettable sunrise over the city should take advantage of the Empire State Building’s Sunrise Experience. Every Saturday morning through October, 100 guests will be able to catch a glimpse of the rising sun. Tickets must be purchased beforehand to secure your spot.
