Visit the Empire State Building Observatory and marvel at a 360-degree perspective that includes Manhattan, the other four New York City boroughs, and four states.
Up, up, and away! High-speed elevators zoom up 1,050 feet (320 meters) to the 86th floor, home of the Observatory. Once there, step out and take in the Big Apple–either from the glass-enclosed pavilion, heated in winter and cooled in summer, or from the surrounding outdoor promenades. Approximately 3.5 million people visit the Observatory each year, largely for the panoramic view, although some come to relive cinematic moments from movies such as An Affair to Remember andSleepless in Seattle.
