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. Additionally, enjoy use of the One World Explorer - an interactive visual experience. 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 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

the self guided tour was truly excellent.

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.
