A Time-Lapse Elevator To The 102nd Floor
Ride the elevator up One World Trade Center to a wraparound view of the harbor, bridges, and Manhattan grid.
🛗 The ride up
The observatory sits on the top floors of One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. Inside the SkyPod elevator, floor-to-ceiling screens run a time-lapse of Manhattan rising from farmland to skyline as you climb to the 102nd floor in under a minute. A short theater reveal drops away to open the room, and the windows wrap around the harbor, the Statue of Liberty, and the bridges downtown. One Dine handles lunch and dinner a floor below. Clear afternoons stretch the view past the Verrazzano and into New Jersey.
