About this tour

One ticket gets you into both Edge NYC and the Vessel at Hudson Yards. Edge is an open-air sky deck that pushes out from the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards, about 1,100 feet above the street, with angled glass walls you can lean against and a glass floor that looks straight down. Afterward, head to the Vessel, the honeycomb of bronze-colored staircases next door, where each flight opens up a different view and a different photo. Admission is timed, so pick an entry window and arrive a little before it.

Good to Know Before You Visit Edge NYC

Edge NYC sits on top of 30 Hudson Yards on Manhattan's west side, and the layout moves you through a few different vantage points. The outdoor sky deck is the centerpiece, angling out from the 100th floor over open air, with a glass floor panel where you can look straight down past 100 stories to the street. If the weather turns or the terrace gets crowded, the indoor viewing areas have floor-to-ceiling windows and climate control while keeping the same sightlines.

The views change by direction. Looking east you get Midtown and the Empire State Building, to the north Central Park stretches out, and the Hudson River fills the view to the west. On a clear day you can pick out New Jersey, Brooklyn, and Lower Manhattan in the distance. The deck is open-air and high up, so wind is a real factor, bring a jacket even in milder weather. Getting here is easy: the 7 subway line stops at 34th Street-Hudson Yards, a short walk from the entrance, with buses and ride-share also serving the area. Edge NYC is open daily from 09:00 to 21:00, with last entry at 20:00; hours can shift around holidays or special events.
