What To Expect

Edge NYC is more than just an observation deck – it's an immersive journey into the sky.

Your visit begins on Level 4 of Hudson Yards, where interactive indoor installations inspired by the energy of NYC introduce you to a multi-sensory experience of light, color, reflection, and design. Featured installations include:

• NYC’s largest Kaleidoscope: A dazzling world of shifting color, light, and ever-changing perspectives.
• Pulse infinity room: 400+ glowing, color-changing orbs that respond to guest movement
• Crystal Cave: A 23-foot canopy of responsive crystals that transform with light from morning to night

Together, these spaces turn your ascent into a dynamic, ever-evolving experience before you even step outside.

As you move through the experience, anticipation builds toward the outdoor observation deck, where you’ll reach the highest outdoor sky deck in New York City, suspended over 1,100 feet above Manhattan. From here, enjoy breathtaking 360° views of the NYC skyline.

For those seeking a unique perspective, step onto the thrilling glass floor platform, lean out over angled glass walls, and take in the city from an entirely new angle. Whether you’re looking for an Instagrammable moment or simply a memorable view, Edge offers a range of experiences for every visitor.

No matter what the weather, Edge is designed as an open-all-day destination, combining immersive indoor environments with outdoor views. This makes it ideal for families, couples, and locals looking for one of the most unique things to do in NYC.

Enhance your visit with premium hospitality options, including drinks and light bites curated by Tao Group Hospitality at the Skyline Bar & Café. On select evenings, Edge turns into Marquee Skydeck, a curated rooftop nightlife experience featuring world-class DJs and exclusive events, transforming Edge into a vibrant destination after sunset.
