Our tips for One World Observatory

  • Check the weather before scheduling your One World Observatory trip. High visibility makes all the difference. Do You Have Any Gum? The SkyPod elevator ride zips up to the top of One World Trade. At that altitude, you might want to bring some gum to help your ears pop.
  • In the Clouds: At the top, it’s just you and the sky! So, dress in dark clothes to avoid melting into the background during photo-ops!
  • Time-saving Tip: Short on time? You can save yourself a lot of time by purchasing your One World Observatory tickets online and bypass the queue for the ticket booth.

Best time to visit

If you want to avoid crowds, the best time to visit is between 8 am and 10 am, before the tourist buses arrive. But, for the most spectacular views during your New York vacation, you’ll want to arrive before sunset. As early mornings are also the busiest time, arrive early to get a spot near the windows. Weather-wise, the best time to visit is any time that the skies are clear. If there are low-lying clouds or rains, you might want to reschedule. Summer and winter months both have their own charms. It might be nice to see the skyscrapers blanketed in snow, but poor visibility could be a dampener.

Getting there

As the tallest building in America, One World Trade is pretty easy to find. But, getting there is another story altogether. Most travellers will likely use the subway. If you choose this mode of transportation, you will need to take the A or C train to Chambers St., E train to One World Trade, the 2,3,4 or 5 train to Fulton St., the 1 train to Rector St., or the R or W train to Cortland St.  Those using the bus system should take the M20 bus towards South Ferry and alight at Vesey St./North End Ave. or the M55 bus towards South Ferry and alight at Broadway/Cortland St.
