Empire State Building Tour - New York City Observation Deck

Since its 1933 film debut in King Kong, the Empire State Building observation deck is one of the most visited attractions in New York City - but is it worth it? Located in Midtown Manhattan, not far from Penn Station and Times Square, the Empire State Building is a 102 story skyscraper fashioned in the famed Art Deco style that opened in 1931 and even has its own zip code. It was the world’s tallest building for 40 years until the World Trade Center was built. Come on our guided tour as we show you surrounding views of the city, including Hudson Yards, downtown Manhattan and New York Harbor, Brooklyn and much more. Of the many things to do in NYC, just know that the Empire State Building is by far the busiest, most crowded and expensive of all the NYC observation decks, but it is a bucket list attraction for many and it is a great observatory.

Great views from Empire State Building.

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

Yes they are!

[@JaW-vm9do]

Truly awesome. I got to stand on the Empire State Building back in 2006 while we were searching for a college for my brother to attend. It was definitely amazing. Had a lot of fun.

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

Agreed! There really is nothing like seeing NYC from that high up.

I visited the observation deck in 2012, right after sunset. It was not crowded at all, so I guess I was lucky 😊

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

You were! What a view that must have been

[@abdulaziz-montana]

Incredible view thank you for sharing sir !

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

Our pleasure! You’re very welcome

We went up years ago, and it’s nice to do once. It’s a beautiful building. But, yeah, probably not something I would do again. Great video as always.

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

Especially since the observation decks are really getting competitive. Word is the Chrysler building will be the 6th.

[@ReSprout]

I love this video. It's very fair to the building. Iconic, but crowded and overpriced. Depending on your needs/desires it's a must-do or you'll want to skip it all together. It's really a toss-up depending on what you're looking for.

I knew he was real. 0:51. Ha ha.

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

Lmfao. He is!

[@sheenadurham7392]

I don't think they should ram so many people up there at the same time

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

I agree. Unfortunately, $$$$$
