Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket or is mobile accepted?
Mobile tickets are accepted. Simply present your booking confirmation on your phone at the entrance.
What is the difference between general admission and the express ticket?
General admission joins the standard entry queue. The skip-the-line express ticket lets you bypass that queue and head directly to the elevators, saving time during busy periods.
Can I visit the 102nd floor on a standard ticket?
No. The 102nd floor is only included with the combo ticket (86th and 102nd Floors). It is not accessible on a standard 86th floor admission ticket.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my visit?
The Empire State Building is open in all weather. In severe conditions, the outdoor areas may be temporarily closed for safety, but the indoor exhibits remain accessible. Heaters are provided on the 86th floor deck on cold days.
Is entry free for young children?
Yes. Children under 6 years of age are admitted free of charge.
Which ticket type should I choose for a sunset visit?
Select one of the 'Sunset Hours' ticket options — available for both standard and express entry, and for the 86th floor alone or the combo with the 102nd floor.
