Suspended 100 floors above Manhattan, the Edge is the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere. The large triangular-shaped outdoor viewing platform sits 80 feet out from the side of the building, offering panoramic views of Manhattan’s skyline, including the iconic Empire State Building, World Trade Center, and Chrysler Building. On clear days, viewers will also be able to spot Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, the Hudson River, and New Jersey.
In case the 360-degree view around the platform isn’t enough, visitors will also be able to look downwards, thanks to a specially-designed glass floor that offers a heart-pumping view straight down to the street.
To get to the Edge, visitors will start the experience by winding through an interesting exhibition about the history of the building and the surrounding area, before boarding a specially-designed elevator that smoothly whisks guests up over 1,000 feet in 60 seconds.
