One World Observatory NYC Tickets Prices and Discounts

Located in One World Trade Centre, the One World Observatory is the tallest skyscraper in New York and the country. The views of southern Manhattan from its observation deck will take your breath away, making it undoubtedly one of the places you must visit on your trip to the Big Apple.

So,how much do tickets to the One World Observatorycost? Here's everything you need to know about the price so you can better calculate your budget.

To enjoy the fabulous views of Manhattan and the surrounding area from the One World Observatory, in the heart of Downtown, standard adult tickets cost around €40 on Hellotickets and give you access to the three floors of the One World Observatory, where you can enjoy wonderful detailed views of the southern Manhattan skyline and breathtaking panoramic views of the rest of the city:

• The World Trade Centre
• The Financial District
• The Brooklyn Bridge
• The Statue of Liberty
• The Empire State Building

Booking a skip-the-line ticket for the One World Observatory includes skip-the-line access and a cancellation option, which is essential to consider when organising your trip, as it will allow you more flexibility when making plans in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

On the other hand, if you need even more flexibility, you can book a ticket to the One World Observatory with flexible hours on the selected date. This type of ticket also includes priority access to the observatory and the Skypod lifts and costs £59.

How much does a combined ticket with other attractions cost?

One way to save time and money is to purchase a ticket for the One World Observatory in combination with other tourist attractions, such as the National Museum and 9/11 Memorial or a tour of New York.

• Booking a guided tour of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum with admission to the One World Observatory costs £95 and includes a tour of Ground Zero accompanied by a local guide and skip-the-line access to both the Memorial Museum and the One World Observatory.
• Another very interesting option is to book a tour of New York with admission to the One World Observatory, which costs £108 and includes a full-day guided tour of New York where you will see more than 15 monuments and attractions such as Times Square, Rockefeller Centre, Grand Central Terminal, and take a waterfront walk where you can see the Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge.

If you are travelling to New York with children and plan to visit the One World Observatory, you will not need to purchase tickets if your children are under 5 years old, as they can enter for free. However, if your children are older than that, they will need a ticket to access the skyscraper, although the good news is that there are reduced rates for them.

If you book with Hellotickets, you can find tickets for children from €38 with a cancellation option, which is very useful as when doing activities with children, unexpected changes of plan can occur.

Discounts for visiting the One World Observatory are only available to members of the United States military, police, fire and emergency medical services. Please note that this is a very popular activity, so discounts and free tickets are not usually available.

For other visitors, there are no discounts as such, but don't worry, because if you want to save a little on your visit, there are reduced rates for certain age groups, such as those over 65 and children between the ages of 6 and 12.

At Hellotickets, you can also purchase discounted tickets for these age groups, starting at €38 for children and €34 for seniors, but with the advantage that they can be cancelled, which is not possible on the One World Observatory website.

By purchasing the :::link|text=New York Sightseeing Pass|element=sc-1-1527::: (from £127), you can go up to the One World Observatory on the day and at the time of your choice to enjoy spectacular views of New York, and you can also take advantage of attractive discounts at restaurants and leisure facilities in the city during your stay.

I recommend it if you want to make the most of New York during your trip and not miss out on any of the fun. With the New York Sightseeing Pass, you can choose between 1 and 10 days of validity to visit a number of tourist attractions, and it also has the advantage of being cancellable.

Why choose the tourist pass?

There are several tourist cards available for exploring the Big Apple, each with its own features and prices, but the great advantage of all of them is that by paying a single "flat rate" you can visit a lot of attractions, which not only allows you to control your budget (New York is an expensive city!) but also saves you time by allowing you to enter places without queuing or by using the fast queue.

If you want to use one of these tourist passes during your trip to New York but don't know which one to choose, I recommend taking a look at the article The best tourist card in New York. It will definitely help you decide!

The fastest and most convenient way to get to the One World Observatory is by public transport, either by underground or bus, with a single ticket costing around £2.50.

However, there is an even cheaper way to get to the skyscraper, which is to walk if you are nearby. Taking a stroll through New York is a delight, there is so much to see!

If you want to know which lines to take or what other means of transport will take you to this impressive viewpoint, I recommend reading this post on how to get to the One World Observatory.

If, after going up to the One World Observatory, you like the views so much that you'd like to stay a little longer, you can always take advantage of your visit to eat at the One Dine restaurant at the One World Observatory, which also has one of the best views of Manhattan.

Prices on the menu range from approximately £12 to £50. You'll find a varied, seasonally inspired menu with exclusive dishes.

However, if you prefer to eat outside the skyscraper and discover other cool places in New York, in the post Where to eat around the One World Observatory you'll find some suggestions near the observatory (probably cheaper) and Ground Zero.
