Walk a glass skyway 19 stories above Times Square, explore New York history, and relive the New Year’s Eve countdown year-round.

About this tour

Step into the heart of the world’s most famous countdown at One Times Square, where New York’s history and skyline meet high above the crowds. This one-hour NYC Times Square Skywalk and Time Travel Experience begins with a glass-elevator ride through the building, then opens onto a 360-degree viewing deck 19 stories above Times Square. Walk across the glass walkway and take in open-air city views, with heated flooring available for comfort.

Inside, interactive exhibits trace more than a century of Times Square history. The Eternal Midnight experience brings the New Year’s Eve celebration to life year-round, while virtual journeys evoke the eras of Broadway, including a 1930s airship and a digital taxi ride. You can also make a confetti wish and capture a photo moment with the New Year’s Eve Ball. The NYC Times Square Skywalk pairs panoramic views with immersive stories about the city’s most celebrated crossroads. Book your visit to see Times Square from a remarkable new perspective.

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.

  • 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 7.4. Top 31% in New York City means it ranks in the top 31% of tours in New York City by this score.
