[2025 New York Attraction] Travel Guide for Empire State Building Main Deck (Updated Mar)

The Empire State Building is an iconic landmark in New York. It was once the tallest skyscraper in the world, standing at 381 meters. Although it has long been surpassed in height, its frequent appearances in numerous films over the years have cemented its significant place in popular culture. The Empire State Building Observatory is divided into three parts: the 80th floor, the 86th floor, and the 102nd floor. General admission or Explorer Pass holders can only access the 80th and 86th floors (the 86th floor has an outdoor area). To reach the 102nd floor, an additional upgrade ticket is required. The Empire State Building is legendary for its rapid construction, starting in 1930 and completing in just 410 days, a remarkable feat in architectural history. The 80th floor is an indoor observatory. Besides taking numerous photos by the windows, this floor also features exhibits and documentaries about the building's construction. While enjoying the night view, take some time to explore these treasured photos.

#VisitNewYork After having the opportunity to get involved with New York for a while, I decided to write this review to gather complete information about traveling to New York so that everyone can travel more easily. In addition to landmarks, there are also tourist attractions, delicious restaurants in New York, and various interesting stories here. 📌 When is the best season to visit New York? New York is different from our home country in that there are 4 seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. Each season has its own beauty, but we have some advice for traveling to New York in each season. 📌 We chose to travel during the summer. It is the period when the weather starts to get hotter, which is very popular with foreigners. Everyone will come out to sit in the sun. It is considered a colorful season, very suitable for traveling because there are outdoor activities and events happening every day (I repeat, every day). Anyone who visits New York during this time can travel both indoors and outdoors. But on hot days, it can reach temperatures of over 40 degrees Celsius. Another advantage is that the days are long, so you can travel to the fullest. The main thing to consider when choosing a place to stay is to focus on being near the subway because if you take the subway, you can easily go anywhere. New York is divided into Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn. If you want the most convenience, stay in Manhattan, but since it is in the middle of the city, the price of accommodation will be a bit expensive. If you stay further away, Brooklyn is a hip area that is suitable for traveling. However, if you have a limited budget, I recommend staying in Queens. It is an area where many Thais live, it is safe, and close to the airport. You can take the subway for $2.90/trip (as many stations as you want). For peace of mind, avoid staying in the Bronx and Harlem.

#2月好地方2025 ✨As the same landmark as "King Kong", the sunset + night view of the Empire State Building is definitely worth the price of your ticket! Here is a nanny-level strategy that I have personally tested. I recommend saving it~ ⏰ Best time: Admission is at 6:45 pm in the summer (5:30 pm in the winter)! You can not only wait to see the sunset 🌇, but also seamlessly connect to the starry night view 🌃, and the ticket price is $10 cheaper than after 19:00! **🎫Ticket Purchase Guide:** 1. Go straight to TB and buy [86th floor + 102nd floor combined ticket] + $30 fast track, saving 3 hours of queuing! 2. On-site tickets require an additional $5 handling fee, and tickets for popular time periods are sold out in seconds! **📸 Must-visit camera positions:** ✅ **86th floor outdoor terrace** (iron railings + warm light) → 360° shot of Manhattan trio (Statue of Liberty/Brooklyn Bridge/Central Park) without any blind spots! ✅ **Indoor terrace on the 102nd floor** (panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows) → Use flash + glass reflection to create a "floating city" movie! **⚠️ Hidden gameplay:** 1. The entrance is at 34th Street 20W, don’t go to 5th Avenue! 2. Tripods/water cups are not allowed through security check, but Polaroid cameras are allowed! 3. Get a free **official commemorative certificate** at the 80th floor "New York City Exhibition Hall"! 4. Bring a hot pack in winter! The wind on the 86th floor was so strong that I couldn't hold my phone steady... **🌭️Nearby food:** After shopping, I went straight to the "Tacombi Mexican Restaurant" next door to eat tacos, and then turned into "Korea Town" to buy milk tea. Perfect! **✨ Easter Eggs:** Look up when the elevator rises → the starry sky is so romantic! **#NewYorkTravel #EmpireStateBuildingStrategy #NewYorkPhotography #KingKingSameStyleCamera #CityNightViewCeiling**

Originally an international student in the US, I went on a solo trip to Manhattan, New York to get some fresh air. Since I have friends who are also studying in New York, I went on a spontaneous 5-night, 6-day trip from Texas to New York while I was studying there🙂 All I ate was tripe and raw fish...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㄱ I went all the way to New York just to eat Korean food and drink... I'm so embarrassed... Happy New Year to everyone and have a great trip😆😆#OverseasTravel #USTravel

I went to New York in mid-February. First, the 9/11 Memorial. I was reminded of the sacrifices of many people and the dedication of many brave people. I bought tickets to the USS Intrepid, the Empire State Building, and the Statue of Liberty all together with City pass, which was a little cheaper. All of the planned visit times require advance reservations, but they were all open at this time of year. The temperature is the same as Sapporo, so it's cold to walk outside, but it gets hot as soon as you go inside the building, so it's hard to control your body temperature. Since I was traveling alone, I walked around. It was an 8-night trip that included Trump Tower, Tiffany's flagship store (very beautiful after renovation), the United Nations Headquarters, Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Center Building, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Museum of Natural History, and Chelsea Market. I left New York for a while and entered Canada on the long-distance bus Greyhound, and saw Niagara Falls. At night, I took Greyhound back to New York, and it's a place you should definitely visit if you visit New York. The sheer force of the water that seems to swallow you up gives you a glimpse of the earth's pulsating motion. Greyhound is the cheapest way to get from New York to Niagara, but by sleeping in the car on both the way there and back, I was able to get there in a flash without spending a night in Canada. It's great value for money, but only recommended for those with plenty of stamina. Outside, it's colder than New York, and it's an icy world. I can't spend much time outside, so I take a break and try my luck at the 24-hour hotel casino (free drinks). I flew with JAL. 70% of the seats on the latest A350-1000 are economy class or higher. Economy class has a wider seat pitch and is more comfortable, but the engine noise is quieter on the B787. There is plenty of entertainment and it's comfortable. It was a great trip to New York, like a movie world, and the impressive Niagara Falls.

I went to the building where King Kong was filmed 🌃 I wanted to see the night view of NY, so I went to the Empire State Building, which was the tallest building in the world for 40 years ☺︎ It was so, so beautiful! The glass of the streetlights and buildings seemed to sparkle and shine through, and it was a mysterious sight that made me feel like I was in a different world ✴︎ I want you to experience those sparkling orange lights that you can't convey unless you see it with your eyes 🫶🏻 The night view in Japan is also very beautiful, but the night view from here made my heart beat faster!! !!! !!! When I was taking a picture of the commemorative object, a security guard appeared in the picture, and at the end we took a commemorative photo together!! !! There were various exhibits, so I wanted to take lots of pictures!! !!! I think there was a souvenir shop too!! !! When I reached the top of the building I was looking at while walking, I felt really strange! I definitely recommend you go⭐︎ It's $44 for adults, $38 for children, and $42 for seniors, but the view was amazing and worth the price!! !!! !!! #ny #newyork #newyorktrip #NewYork #NewYorkTourism #NewYorkTrip #America #AmericaTrip #americatravel

Everything went smoothly, and the beautiful scenery was unobstructed. We booked it at 6:30 pm and saw the sunset 🌄 and night view 🌃, which was very good 👍!

When it comes to the Empire State Building, it reminds people of the city skyline and the protagonists in the movie "Sleepless in Seattle". Love at first kiss in the Empire State Building. A few days ago, I came to the observation deck of the Empire State Building with my friends to watch the sunset and night view. It was really beautiful. It's worth coming once! On the 86th floor observation deck, you can touch the sky up close to the maximum extent. From the pink and blue dusk to the golden sunset, and the lights of NYC under the sunset glow, it's really beautiful enough to make you cry.

#nyinsider #unitedstates #nyc Why is Empire State Building famous? Intended to be the world's first 100+ story building, construction of the Empire State Building began on March 17, 1930. Construction was completed in a record-breaking 1 year and 45 days. Beautiful inside and out, the Empire State Building is an architectural marvel beloved across the world. The vast majority of the building is taken up by offices, however there are 2 observation decks open to the public, offering magnificent views across new york. This is a must when visiting New York. It may appear a bit pricy but it's certainly worth every penny.

In the pre-pandemic days it was rare and always a special thing when major avenues in Manhattan were closed for several hours to traffic. This gave the opportunity to take some pictures as if you were in the Will Smith version of "I am Legend." It's amazing how empty the city feels without the cars and also how much nice it would be as well. #tripaway
