An original architecture for a breathtaking view

The outermost point, The Eastern Point, is only accessible to one person at a time. You find yourself surrounded by air and sky, with the feeling of being suspended in the air. The platform has two glass floors that allow you to see the city 100 floors below and the crowds in the streets.

The more adventurous can lie down on the glass parts for unusual photos. Thrills are guaranteed. Will you try the adventure?

The City Climb: a unique experience in the world

People prone to vertigo should refrain! When you arrive on the platform at the top, you will be able to live a unique experience: leaning and staying suspended in the void. Your friends or family can share this moment by cheering you on during the ascent from The Edge.

When should I visit The Edge?

The Edge is open Monday through Sunday from 10am to 10pm.

When booking, you will need to specify the date and time slot with a standard entrance. Otherwise, you will have to invest in a Flexipass. The visit lasts about an hour, but you can stay longer if you wish. For a more relaxed visit in small numbers, book early in the morning. The best time to see the colors of the sky is at sunset. But this is also the time when the crowds are greatest. Another possibility is to book in the late afternoon to enjoy both the moment and the sunset.

Whichever way you choose to experience The Edge New York, it will undoubtedly leave you with unforgettable memories to share with family and friends.
