Finding the observatory

The entrance to Edge is on Level 4 of The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards, on Manhattan’s West Side. Take the elevators up to Level 4.

• By subway: take the 7 to 34 St–Hudson Yards and walk south along Hudson Boulevard towards the Vessel, or the A, C or E to 34 St–Penn Station and walk west along 33rd Street.
• By bus: the M34-SBS, M12 and M11 stop a few minutes’ walk away.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• An indoor deck on Level 100 with 360-degree views.
• The Skyline Bar & Café for food and drinks, bought separately.
• An indoor immersive experience on the way up, starting on Level 4.
• No lockers: normal-size bags are fine, but large bags and luggage are not permitted.

Travel light: there are no lockers, and large bags and luggage are not permitted. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

Edge describes itself as fully accessible for all guests, with elevators from the entrance on Level 4 up to the deck on Level 100.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• Strollers are welcome, but must be folded for the elevators and escalators.
• Service animals are permitted; ask observatory staff for assistance during your visit.

Enjoy the observatory thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• There is a security checkpoint, and weapons of any kind, including costume accessories, are not permitted beyond it.
• Outside food and drink, large bags and luggage, and pets other than service animals are not permitted.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

The outdoor sky deck may close for a while in severe weather: follow staff guidance on the deck.

Make time for a pause

The Skyline Bar & Café at Edge sells food and drinks, and The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards have more places for a meal before or after your visit.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Outside food and drink cannot be brought into Edge.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: take the elevators to Level 4 of The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards and follow your ticket’s instructions.
• Dress for the deck: the sky deck is outdoors, so a warm layer and a charged phone make the visit easier.
• Leave space to linger: a full visit usually takes 60 to 90 minutes.
