Nicknamed after the State of New York, The Empire State Building stands a striking 102 stories in the clouds. Breathtaking panoramic vistas of New York City can be seen from its highest viewing point, the Empire State Building Observatory. Coined as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, by the American Society of Civil Engineers, this attraction is one of the most famous spots in town. Open 7 days a week, from 8 am to 2 am, you will get a chance to view New York City in all its glory, under a blue sky or under a starry filled night.
The last elevator goes up at 1:15 AM. Security is very important, so any visitor wishing to enter the building must go through a routine security check. No glass or bottles are permitted and only cameras and camcorders without tripods. Admission price for the ESB Express Pass is $41.25 + $3.48 tax. Observatory tickets for the 102nd floor are available once you're in the building and cost $15 in addition to normal admission passes.
