What visitors say
Thousands of visitors have already booked their visit: reviews and testimonials
"The triangular bridge experience is stunning. You feel like you're floating above the city. The view of the Hudson at sunset was absolutely magical. I highly recommend going in the evening."
"My kids loved the glass floor! They were a bit scared at first but ended up laughing with joy. The 'Family Sundays' are perfect with the concerts. An unforgettable moment for the whole family."
"Incredible view, much better than Top of the Rock for the thrill factor. The only downside is the difficulty of booking at Peak restaurant. Plan to eat in the Hudson Yards neighborhood instead. The experience remains memorable."
"I skated at Sky Skate, it was awesome! Rental is included and the ice is very well maintained. It's a unique activity you won't find anywhere else. Perfect for teens too. An unforgettable sense of freedom."
"As a photographer, I loved the natural light and the angle on Lower Manhattan. The glass bridge allows for original compositions. Watch out for reflections; arrive early for the best conditions."
"Very impressive for seniors. The elevators are fast and access is easy. The view is spectacular without being too overwhelming. The staff is very attentive and helps with photos on the 101st floor."
"The vertigo is real but safe. I was breathless walking on the glass. It is the most modern observatory in NYC. Combining it with the Hudson Yards district makes for a perfect afternoon."
"We went as a couple for our anniversary. The bar at the top is chic and intimate. The view of the city lights at night is romantic. Book your tickets in advance to avoid the queue."
"A short but intense visit. 1h30 is enough to see everything. The triangular bridge is the highlight. Compared to the CN Tower, it's not as tall, but the experience is more accessible and immersive."

Highest in Western Hemisphere
Located in the heart of Manhattan's West Side, between 30th and 33rd Street on 10th Avenue, Edge NYC is much more than a simple observation deck. This triangular observation bridge on the 101st floor of 30 Hudson Yards offers an unprecedented perspective of the city's southern and eastern horizons. Standing at 335 meters high, it is the second-highest outdoor bridge in the Western Hemisphere, just after Toronto's CN Tower.
Vertiginous and modern architecture
30 Hudson Yards, also known as the North Tower, is an iconic skyscraper in the Hudson Yards complex. Rising 387 meters, it is the sixth tallest building in New York, just behind 432 Park Avenue. Its contemporary design houses a complex technical infrastructure capable of welcoming thousands of visitors every day safely. Located near Pennsylvania Station, it dominates the West Side.
At the top, the triangular observation bridge stands out for its thick, resilient glass structure. Designed to support the weight of visitors and withstand the elements, this suspended balcony offers a rare sense of freedom. The bridge's orientation allows for unique viewing angles of the Hudson River and the New Jersey landscapes, away from the density of downtown. At 335 meters above ground, it is the second highest in the Western Hemisphere.
Opened in March 2020, Edge NYC positions itself as a modern alternative to classics like Chicago's Willis Tower or Top of the Rock. Although the Willis Tower has a bridge at 412 meters, it is closed to the public, making Edge the highest accessible outdoor experience in the area, offering total immersion in the skyline. It offers breathtaking views of New Jersey.
The complete experience: Views, Gastronomy, and Leisure
Beyond the view, Edge NYC offers dynamic programming. 'Family Sundays' transform the observatory into a family entertainment venue with live concerts at the Rock & Roll Playhouse. Interactive games are also offered, making the Edge NYC visit with children particularly fun and memorable, far from simple contemplative walks. It is a complete attraction for all ages.
For thrill-seekers, the Sky Skate rink offers a unique high-altitude experience. Note that this is a separate activity requiring a distinct booking. Skate rental is included in the package, but bringing personal skates is strictly prohibited to protect the ice surface. Check seasonal opening hours before your visit. This activity takes place on the 101st floor of the building, 335 meters above ground.
Gastronomy peaks at Peak Restaurant, located on the 101st floor in a luxurious bar-lounge setting. With only 14 tables, reservations are extremely difficult and must be made weeks in advance. If you can't find a spot, the Hudson Yards neighborhood is full of quality culinary alternatives just steps from the observatory. Enjoy the view from the bar.
Practical: Hours and Access
Crowd control is strict to ensure safety and comfort on the 101st floor. It is crucial to know the Edge NYC last elevator times: the last departure to the top takes place 50 minutes before official closing. This means you must be at the reception by 8:10 PM to avoid being stuck downstairs. Plan your arrival accordingly to enjoy the twilight from 335 m high.
Access is easy via the subway, with the 34th Street - Hudson Yards station (7 line) directly connected to the complex. Located near Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea, and Pennsylvania Station, the site is well-served. For families, note that child rates (6-12 years) are available, making this visit accessible to all generations. Public transport is ideal for getting there quickly.
Finally, compare Edge NYC vs Top of the Rock based on your preferences. Edge offers outdoor vertigo and views of the Hudson, while Top of the Rock prioritizes views of the Empire State Building. Both are unmissable, but Edge stands out with its open architecture and more adventurous appeal for panoramic view lovers. Ideal for sunset.

Tips for visiting Edge NYC
Insider tips
Arrive 50 min before closing
The last elevator descends 50 minutes before official closing. For a 9 PM closing, you must be up before 8:10 PM. Arrive earlier to avoid stress and enjoy the evening slot.
Aim for sunset
The view of the Hudson and New Jersey changes radically between day and night. Twilight offers both atmospheres: natural light and urban lights. It's the perfect time for spectacular photos from 335 m up.
Book Peak weeks in advance
The Peak restaurant on the 101st floor has only 14 tables. Reservations are very difficult due to the exclusive bar-lounge setting. Book as soon as availability opens or opt for the neighborhood.
Combine with Hudson Yards
The Hudson Yards neighborhood is pedestrian-friendly, modern, and secure. Visit the high-end shops and the Vessel (if open) before or after your ascent. It's an ideal area for a relaxing family stroll.
Check Sky Skate opening hours
The Sky Skate rink is a seasonal activity that typically closes in March. If it is open, allow extra time and bring gloves. Skate rental is included in the skating package.
Take the 7 train
The 34th Street - Hudson Yards station is directly connected to the complex. Avoid taxis during rush hour; the subway is faster and drops you off at the entrance to the neighborhood. Use the 7 line for direct access.
Look southeast
The orientation of the bridge offers a unique view of Lower Manhattan and New Jersey. Unlike the Empire State Building, you will see the city from a different angle, with the Hudson River in the background. Enjoy this rare perspective on the skyline.
Enjoy Family Sundays
Sundays are special with the Rock & Roll Playhouse programming and interactive games. It's the best time to visit with children; the atmosphere is festive, and there are fewer crowds in the morning on the 101st floor.

Local's Take
Léo M. · Urban guide passionate about architecture and secret viewpoints
I've tested all the observation decks in New York, and Edge is the one that gave me the most chills thanks to its open design over the void. Unlike the thick windows of the Rockefeller Center, here you feel the wind and see your own feet 335 meters up. It's a sensory experience that completely changes your perception of the city.
- Aim for the sunset slot: you'll enjoy the golden light on the Hudson River followed by the city lights turning on, without the midday queues.
- If you're visiting with family on a Sunday, take advantage of Family Sundays with the Rock & Roll Playhouse. The atmosphere is festive, and kids love the interactive games offered.
- Don't forget that the last elevator departs 50 minutes before closing. If you arrive after 8:10 PM, you risk being stuck on the ground floor without being able to go up.
- For thrill-seekers, check the opening status of Sky Skate. It's an ice rink suspended on the 101st floor, an unforgettable experience but must be booked separately.
