About
Edge at Hudson Yards offers an unforgettable experience high above New York City. This triangular outdoor observation deck extends 80 feet from the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards, making it the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere. Visitors step onto the platform to enjoy 360-degree views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and beyond.
The experience begins with a high-speed elevator ride to the 100th floor, where you'll find yourself standing on a platform with glass floors and angled glass walls that create the sensation of floating above the city. On clear days, you can see for miles in every direction, spotting iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty.
Edge is part of the larger Hudson Yards development, which includes upscale shopping, dining, and the famous Vessel sculpture. You can easily make a day of exploring the area before or after your visit to Edge. The experience typically lasts about 45-60 minutes, though there's no time limit once you're on the deck.
Tickets start at $36 for adults when purchased online, with pricing varying by date and time. It's wise to book in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons and holidays. Weather conditions can affect visibility and the overall experience, so check forecasts before your visit. The outdoor nature of the deck means it may close during severe weather for safety reasons.
Hudson Yards is easily accessible by subway, with the 7 train stopping directly at the Hudson Yards station. The area is also served by several bus lines and is within walking distance of Penn Station and the High Line park.
