Getting tickets to the observatory is a breeze, especially if you take advantage of the great deals on Groupon. The platform is easy to navigate, offering an economical way to enjoy this must-visit attraction.
Upon arrival, you're greeted by a friendly and helpful staff, eager to ensure you make the most out of your visit. Their knowledge about the city's history and the WTC's significance was enlightening. They perfectly balance providing informative insights with letting you enjoy the mesmerizing views at your own pace.
The ride up in the Sky Pod elevator is a marvel in itself. The elevator walls come to life with a time-lapse representation of NYC's skyline development over the centuries. It's a swift yet immersive journey through 500 years of history in just 47 seconds. And the reveal at the end? Absolutely breathtaking.
I highly recommend visiting the observatory's bar area, particularly during sunset. The panoramic view of the city skyline basking in the soft, golden hues is an unforgettable sight. Pair this with a refreshing cocktail from their eclectic menu, and you've got a perfect end to the day.
Despite its popularity, One World Trade Center manages to maintain an enjoyable atmosphere. It's usually not as rowdy as some of the other popular NYC spots, making it ideal for those who wish to soak in the view and the moment in relative tranquility.
All in all, One World Trade Center is more than just a towering structure. It's an epitome of resilience, a historical monument, and an observation deck with unrivaled views. A visit here provides a unique opportunity to learn, reflect, and marvel at the beauty of the city that never sleeps.

My wife and I were lucky. The restaurant seated us without reservations. (near the bar)
We did hear a pianist but didn't see one. By 8pm the music discontinued. The energy dropped after that. We'd suggest the restaurant use Pandora to lift the mood.
The staff was friendly and the 360 degree views were impressing.
Our biggest flaw for the evening was going to the bathrooms. My wife actually asked for one of them to be cleaned. Feel free to view the images I've shared. (when I went into the bathroom) This is why I've rated 4 out of 5.
In conclusion, we'd suggest this attraction to friends and family. It will be a night to remember.

I found the set of steps from the towers, the beams from the towers and the firetruck extremely moving. Take the time to hear the stories and listen to the narratives, I would recommend to plan for at least two hours.
We did not go up to the observation deck since we spent so much time in the museum and at the memorial. The memorial is amazing with extremely impressive fountains they built in place of the original towers.
They do sell an all access pass, otherwise the observation deck is a separate cost from the museum.

One WTC is the&nb.. Read more »sp;tallest building in the United States, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, and the seventh-tallest in the world. The supertall structure has the same name as the North Tower of the original World Trade Center, which was destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The new skyscraper stands on the northwest corner of the 16-acre (6.5 ha) World Trade Center site, on the site of the original 6 World Trade Center. The building is bounded by West Street to the west, Vesey Street to the north, Fulton Street to the south, and Washington Street to the east.The building's architect is David Childs, whose firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) also designed the Burj Khalifa and the Willis Tower. The construction of below-ground utility relocations, footings, and foundations for the new building began on April 27, 2006. One World Trade Center became the tallest structure in New York City on April 30, 2012, when it surpassed the height of the Empire State Building. The tower's steel structure was topped out on August 30, 2012. On May 10, 2013, the final component of the skyscraper's spire was installed, making the building, including its spire, reach a total height of 1,776 feet (541 m). Its height in feet is a deliberate reference to the year when the United States Declaration of Independence was signed. The building opened on November 3, 2014;[14] the One World Observatory opened on May 29, 2015.[15]
On March 26, 2009, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) confirmed that the building would be officially known by its legal name of "One World Trade Center", rather than its colloquial name of "Freedom Tower".[16][17] The building is 104 standard floors high, but the tower has only 94 actual stories.
The new World Trade Center complex will eventually include five high-rise office buildings built along Greenwich Street, as well as the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, located just south of One World Trade Center where the original Twin Towers stood. The construction of the new building is part of an effort to memorialize and rebuild following the destruction of the original World Trade Center complex.
