The One World Observatory at Freedom Tower offers expansive 360-degree views in all directions of New York City. Special Sky Pod elevators take you up in just 47 seconds; but, the experience is more than pretty views - it's an interactive visual experience. With a standard ticket, you can skip the hassle of the box office line and proceed right to the top! Your visit includes:
- Dynamically-generated world map that highlights hometowns of visitors
- “Voices” and "Foundations", two programs that describe the building's history and the people who constructed it
- Virtual time-lapse video of the development of New York City’s skyline from the 1500s to present-day
- Sky Portal, a 14-foot wide circular disc in the floor with a real-time high-definition video of the streets below
- City Pulse, a ring of monitors with gesture recognition technology for close-up views and personalized recommendations
