Eligible residents receive 25% off tickets to the Empire State Building.

This offer is available during the final evening time slots Monday through Thursday.

From the Empire State Building 102nd Floor you can see up to 80 miles on a clear day. That reach covers six states, including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Delaware. The Empire State Building view from the top also takes in Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, the Chrysler Building, the World Trade Center, and the Brooklyn Bridge, with the Hudson River running down Manhattan's western edge.

The Empire State Building stands apart from other decks for its blend of historic significance, immersive exhibits, and iconic observation decks, which include the open-air 86th Floor Observation Deck and the enclosed 102nd Floor Observation Deck. Unlike newer attractions, the Empire State Building Observation Deck offers a full museum experience that showcases its construction, cultural impact, and role in American history. Its observation decks deliver a classic Manhattan skyline experience, while its global recognition and Art Deco design make it one of the most authentic and memorable ways to see New York City.
