The elevator ride is quick, less than one minute. When you arrive at the top, you’re on your own and free to roam around. On a clear day, visibility from the deck is up to 80 miles.
You can even see five different states: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Delaware.
Restrooms and binoculars are available on the 86th floor, but there are no restaurants or other eateries. The gift shop is on the 80th floor and can be visited anytime during your stay.
There is no time limit to your visit. The entire experience usually takes around an hour. If you wish to come back to see the view again at night, you can purchase a night pass and return later that day without purchasing a second ticket.
The Empire State Building is handicap accessible and motorized or non-motorized wheelchairs are available if needed. Ramps are present throughout the observatory, and guests will also find lowered viewing walls and binoculars.
There’s also a multi-language, interactive audio tour guide app available to download before your visit or while on-site.
