[@HaleyMary]

The sky deck reminds me of the CN Tower in Toronto. It has a glass observation deck and my aunt and I went there in 2003 and she was a little nervous about how high up it was and you could just see sidewalk below under the glass. I thought it was the coolest thing ever! The view from the top of the skyview deck looks incredible! I've never seen a cooler elevator in my life! I have to see that place someday!

@connextro yeah it is massive and giant, but the new build buildings next to it are high or they are higher than the empire state building. And i dont know how the cityscape will be look like, when they build more new buildings in this area.

[@kyuj2884]

Is it worth it?

[@tiamarrow6366]

As a Long Islander, every time a new attraction opens up in the city, I always get so happy and excited, since I don’t go into the city very often. I think the only “attractions” that I’ve ever seen from the outside are Times Square, and the Empire State Building. As for the inside, I’ve been in Radio City Music Hall but only for Christmas. So the Edge and also One World Observatory are definitely some attractions that I need to see.

[@juhumamamam3768]

Tia Marrow imho top of the rock is way better than the view from the Empire State Building. You should check this out first :)

I work at the Space Needle in Seattle, and definitely one of the things I enjoy doing when I travel is seeing different observation decks and seeing how they operate compared to what we do. I was in NYC in Feb 2019, and did 1 world trade, Empire, and Top of the Rock. Loved them all for different reasons, but I heard about this place opening "next year", so when I return this will be one of the first things I do! Great Video!
