One Times Square Viewing Deck in New York Tickets
The outdoor viewing deck runs 360 degrees around the 19th floor of the building and offers you views of Times Square and the surrounding buildings. From this height, you can experience Times Square from a completely different perspective.
You will see the famous red steps in the distance, and all the billboards and the people on Times Square will appear as small dots. The surrounding buildings will be put in a new perspective as well. Get a new look at the Paramount Building and maybe catch a glimpse of the office life at Times Square Plaza.
It is important to buy your tickets for the One Times Square observation deck in advance. It is not possible to get tickets on the spot, as there is no box office. The earlier you book, the more options you have.
View from One Times Square
The viewing deck wraps around the floor, making it possible to walk all the way around and enjoy a lot of different views. So, the deck offers an amazing view of 42nd Street, which you can look directly into. This gives you the opportunity for great photos.
Part of the viewing deck has a glass floor. This allows you to look directly down at Broadway, the street running beneath you. If you would prefer not to walk over it, you can also skip this part and walk through the building instead.
Your journey begins with a ride in a glass elevator outside the building, which gives you a sneak preview of the views to come. Access to the lift is included in your ticket, providing a great start to your experience. As you look out, you will see Times Square getting smaller and smaller.
Inside One Times Square
The Times Travel experience spans multiple floors. Each floor takes you through different eras of Times Square. At this museum, you can learn all about the history of Times Square, the building and the annual Ball Drop. The interactive experience will lead you to the open-air viewing deck.
When to visit One Times Square
The One Times Square viewing deck is open during the day and in the evening. For the optimal experience, I would recommend visiting at night. When it is dark, the billboards of Times Square truly come alive. From the deck, you will have an unforgettable sight that captures the energy of New York.
