The Empire State Building, a New York City and National Historic Landmark, soars more than a quarter of a mile into the atmosphere above the heart of Manhattan. Located on the 86th floor, 1,050 feet (320 meters) above the city's bustling streets, the Observatory offers panoramic views from within a glass enclosed pavilion and from the surrounding open-air promenade. No stay in New York City is complete without a visit to the Empire State Building! Can you believe that construction was completed in only one-year and 45 days?

There are many reasons why the Empire State Building ranks so high on everyone's 'to do' list. The history, the heights, the movies, the romance, and the view are just some of the reasons why Empire State Building tickets are so popular.

The Empire State Building was conceived and built at the very beginning of the Great Depression of the 1930's. At a time when the entire world's economy was faltering, American business decided that they would build a symbol of America's courage, strength and resilience. The Empire State Building was designed to be the tallest building in the world (and it kept that title for almost 40 years) and was built in record time (14 months) without any of the modern equipment available to today's builders.
