Know before you go

The 86th-floor open-air deck is the classic wraparound terrace — windproof jackets help in winter.
The new museum floor covers King Kong, the 1931 construction race and the building's media cameos.
Tower lights change color nightly; check the calendar for themed evenings.

Tips for group trips

Group entry is through the 34th St entrance with timed tickets — reserve 20+ together.
Coach unloading on 5th Ave side streets; no standing on 34th between 5th and 6th.
Sunset is the premium slot — book it weeks ahead or go early morning instead.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — timed tickets are required; group rates start at 20 people through the official site.

86th or 102nd floor?

The 86th open deck is the classic view; the 102nd is enclosed and higher — worth it on clear days only.
