Timed ticket, flexible ticket or a tour

Edge prices vary by date, time and ticket type, and rise closer to the visit date. In October 2026 General Admission starts at $42 for a set date and time, Flex Admission at $73 (date and time changeable up to 2 hours before), and Priority Access at $88 with the priority elevator. Each adds a $2 processing fee. An Advance Saver ticket saves up to 35% when booked 14 or more days ahead, and New York, New Jersey and Connecticut residents have their own rate.

Admission on Viator

The NYC Edge Immersive Observation Deck at Hudson Yards Admission is the most reviewed product on this page: from $43 on Viator in October 2026, rated 4.04 from 2,342 reviews. Its options mirror Edge's own: timed, flexible-time, skip-the-line with priority elevator, champagne (21 and over), Sunset VIP, and a Vessel and Edge combo. The Combo Ticket Edge NYC Observatory and Whitney Museum (from $60, no reviews yet in October 2026) is exchanged at Edge's 4th-floor box office for a date and time; the Whitney needs no reservation. The NYC Adventure Pass (from $119, 4.38 from 26 reviews) adds The Beast speedboat and RiseNY, valid 30 days from the first activity.

Tours that end on the deck

Two walking tours sell Edge as an upgrade, so their "from" price is the tour without the deck. High Line, Chelsea and Hudson Yards Tour with Edge Entry Option (from $29 on Viator in October 2026, 4.84 from 38 reviews) walks from the Whitney along the High Line and, with the Edge option, ends at the entrance, where the guide hands over the ticket. The Private Hudson Yards Tour With Optional Edge Upgrade (from $170, 4.83 from 497 reviews) adds Vessel, Edge or both as options. Tours with the ticket included: The Edge Observation Deck and 3hr Manhattan Walking Tour (from $142, 4.5 from 14 reviews) walks from Wall Street to the Flatiron, then guests visit Edge on their own; the Early Access New York Edge to Little Island Pier Adventure Tour (from $95, 5.0 from 2 reviews) is guided through Edge, past Vessel and along the High Line to Little Island.

What the visit looks like

The visit starts on Level 4 of The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards, 30 Hudson Yards, with seven indoor installations. A 52-second elevator then rises to Level 100, which has an indoor deck and the outdoor sky deck at 1,100 feet: a glass floor, glass walls angled outward and skyline seats (October 2026). Edge is open 9 am to 10 pm on 25 October 2026, last entry one hour before closing. The 7 train stops at 34 St-Hudson Yards.

Rules that bite

Sunset slots sell out first, and Edge advises arriving at least an hour before sunset (October 2026).
