Have you ever wished that you could fly over the city of New York all at once? Picture yourself on one of the highest vantage point of one of the tallest structure in the western hemisphere and watching the horizon as far as the eye can reach. If that sounds like a scene from a movie, then it’s time to make it your reality by visiting One World Observatory – the crown jewel of New York’s iconic skyline.
Why One World Observatory Should Be on Your Bucket List
This observatory is not just a view point on the top of One World Trade Center; it is a soul of New York. If you have never been to New York or if you are a local, there is nothing quite as spectacular as watching the city rise from the ground as you are 1,250 feet in the air. Not just an observation of flattened territories or guided tourist walk – it is a dedication to the city’s rebirth, spirit, roots, and potential.
Reach New Heights: Unrivaled 360° Views
Suppose you find yourself over a hundred floors above the ground in the middle of New York City with full-height glass windows around you. Regardless of whether you are watching the sunrise, the city lights after sunset or just the skyline, every angle is like a picture postcard. The observatory is completely indoors, so it does not matter what the weather is like outside when you visit, you will be able to see everything clearly.
Are you interested in finding out how to get that perfect shot for your Instagram? It is recommended to go during the golden hour when the buildings of the city look even more beautiful.
SkyPod Elevators: A Ride Like No Other
Be prepared for a vertical ride that you have never been on before. The SkyPod Elevators will lift you up 102 stories in only 47 seconds! While climbing, see how New York City has changed over the years with the help of stunning time-lapse effects. You’ll observe the evolution of the city from an open plain to the skyline that they have today. It’s not just a transportation, it’s a time travel, creating the context for what is to follow.
See Forever® Theater: The City in Motion
If the elevator ride does not dumbfound you, the See Forever® Theater will do so. This is a high energy audiovisual display that has been synchronized to the beats of New York, the energy capital. The grand finale? That first stunning moment of the skyline at its best. It is the right crescendo before getting to the main observatory deck.
