A visit to One World Observatory at Freedom Tower is a must during your trip to New York City! Take in breathtaking, 360-degree views of the Big Apple and snap once-in-a-lifetime photos. With a skip-the-line ticket, you will receive priority access to the SkyPod elevators and the Observatory itself.

There was no line. The presentation on the way up to the observatory in the elevator had good graphics. The little show at the top, once you get off the elevator, and the mandatory photos taken of each guest were needless. The observatory itself was roomy and had high ceilings…spacious.

the self guided tour was truly excellent.

Superbe vue. Accueil très sympa. A faire

I was somewhat underwhelmed, mainly because I'd heard the whole experience, especially the ride up in the elevator, was fantastic. It was OK. Great view from the top, but the same as from the first tower(s).

Experience was great Not sure why we paid the “skip the line” option as there was absolutely no line/no queue
