Just go straight to the observation deck. The NY Skyride tour/simulation is not worth the extra time or aggravation. Not to mention their poor organization at running it.
Do NOT spend the extra money to go to the 102nd floor. It is small and lame! There is no open air, and it only takes about 30 seconds to walk around the whole space. No lie!!
Очередь внутри - это что-то с чем-то!! Отстоял на улице 40 мин? Получи бонус - 2*40 мин очереди внутри.. Вид не стоит ни тех денег ни 2 часов в очереди.. Гуляйте и наслаждайтесь атмосферой
Soaring 1,454 ft. (443 m.) above Manhattan, the Empire State Building is the region's #1 tourist attraction & the heart of New York City. Our 86th & 102nd floor Observatories offer the two highest viewing decks in NYC along with unobstructed 360-degree views. On a clear day, you can see five states!
