Ceci's Traveller Tip

Keep in mind that buying tickets at the box office has an extra cost. Buy them online to avoid it.

Entrance to The Edge is included in several of the city's tourist passes at no extra cost. This is a very good option if you are going to spend several days in New York and do not want to miss anything. Sightseeing passes open the doors to countless attractions, including the Edge, and usually include skip-the-line access.

If you are thinking of buying a New York Sightseeing Pass, you can read all the information about its price and operation here: New York Sightseeing Pass, Go New York, the New York C3 and the New York Pass. All of them include the entrance to the observatory.

I am traveling with children and want to visit The Edge, how much do tickets cost?

Children under 5 years old do not pay admission. Children between 6 and 12 years old pay a reduced rate, about 30 €.

However, remember that depending on the day you go, if there are peak crowds you will have to pay an additional € 1.5 per ticket and if you want to see the New York sunset with the kids, they also have to pay the additional € 9.

If I book in advance, are the tickets cheaper?

There is no special price for advance tickets. The price of the tickets is the same and increases if you choose a day considered high season or if you want to go at sunset time.

Remember also that the additional options that we want to add to the basic ticket, such as the champagne glass or the flexible pass, also always have the same price increase and do not vary if you buy the tickets in advance.

Ticket prices on peak and off-peak season days

If you decide to buy your tickets through the official website of the Edge or at the box office you have to know that there are certain weeks, weekends and days of the year considered "peak" (peak). This means that there is a greater influx of people and therefore, the price is increased by 1.5 € per ticket, even if you buy them in advance.

You can check which are those periods of high season on the official website of The Edge, but they usually coincide with Christmas, New Year's Eve and summer vacations.
