Explore immersive installations, then step onto Edge’s sky deck for sweeping Manhattan views from more than 1,100 feet above Hudson Yards.

About this tour

See Manhattan from a fresh perspective at Edge, where immersive indoor installations lead to an open-air sky deck high above Hudson Yards. This New York City observation deck admission pairs interactive design with sweeping skyline views, making the visit more than a stop at a viewpoint.

Begin on Level 4 with installations that play with color, light, sound, and reflection. Then head to Level 100, more than 1,100 feet above Manhattan, for panoramic views that reach from Central Park to the Statue of Liberty. Step onto the Glass Floor, settle into the Skyline Seats, or lean toward the angled glass walls for a closer look at the city below. You can choose how much to engage with the more thrilling features.

The indoor and outdoor spaces make Edge an option in most weather, and visitors typically spend around one to two hours exploring. For a quieter visit, consider morning or early afternoon; sunset tends to draw the biggest crowds. Food and beverages are not included, though the Skyline Bar & Cafe is on Level 100. Make time for this New York City observation deck admission and experience the skyline from above Hudson Yards.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.04 from 2,345 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 2.5.
