Edge NYC Skydeck Experience

• Highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere
• Suspended glass floor offering straight down city views
• Angled glass walls for a thrilling open air experience
• Located in Hudson Yards with skyline and river views
• Sunset and night views with dramatic city lights

Edge NYC is not just an observation deck it is a bold architectural statement that lets you feel suspended in the sky. Rising over one hundred floors above Manhattan, this immersive experience places visitors on a triangular platform that extends outward from the building, creating the sensation of floating over the city.

Floor to ceiling glass walls angle outward while a transparent glass floor allows you to look directly down at the streets below. Every step forward brings a rush of excitement and a new perspective of New York City.

From the Hudson River to Central Park and beyond, Edge offers a panoramic view that is both thrilling and unforgettable, blending cutting edge engineering with pure adrenaline.

The best time to visit Edge NYC is late afternoon to sunset, when daylight slowly transitions into glowing city lights. This timing offers the most dramatic views and photo opportunities.

Spring and fall provide comfortable temperatures and clearer skies, while winter visits deliver crisp air and sharp visibility. Early mornings are quieter, while evenings feel more energetic and vibrant.

Edge NYC was developed as part of the Hudson Yards project, one of the largest private real estate developments in United States history. Conceived as a symbol of modern New York, the observation deck was designed to push architectural boundaries rather than simply replicate traditional skyscraper viewpoints.

Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, Edge opened to the public in 2020, introducing a new concept where visitors step out into open space rather than looking down from above. The cantilevered platform, angled glass walls, and glass floor required advanced engineering to ensure safety while delivering an unmatched thrill.

Today, Edge stands as an icon of contemporary New York City, blending innovation, design, and experience, and redefining how visitors connect with the skyline.
