To product

New York's famous Empire State Building, a New York City landmark and a national historic landmark, in the heart of the city, soars more than a quarter of a mile into the atmosphere above the heart of Manhattan. 

The observatory located on the 86th floor, 1,050 feet (320 meters) above the city's bustling streets, offers panoramic views (360-degree unobstructed views) from within a glass enclosed pavilion and from the surrounding open-air promenade. 
Since the Observatory opened to the public in 1931, almost 110 million visitors have been thrilled by the awe-inspiring scene of the city beneath them. Due to its ionic status, long lines are very common, pre-purchasing your tickets is highly recommended to avoid those long lines.
