4. One World Observatory – Most High Tech
One World Observatory offers some of the best views of New York City. The experience, which ends at the top of One World Trade Center, starts at its very bottom. As you make your way to the elevators you will walk through a recreation of the Manhattan schist bedrock that makes up the tower’s foundation. The original rocks date back 450 million years. Once inside the Sky Pod elevators, guests are treated to a journey through 500 years of history as the story of New York visually unfolds on enveloping LED screens over the course of the 46-second ride.
Once you have arrived at the observation level there are many ways you can explore the view. The One World Explorer iPad guide lets you choose a landmark and learn more information. Tour guides at the City Pulse Ring will answer any questions you may have. At 1,250 feet above the ground, you gain a whole new perspective of the city. Grab your tickets here!
