There are a number of options when wanting to view the NY skyline. I went to one of the twin towers observatory deck about 30 years ago and so it felt fitting to go to the One World Observatory having returned to New York after all these years. It was poignant to reflect on what has happened since my first visit. We arrived for the 9am booking (the earliest option) which meant there were no crowds and so we pretty much shared the space with about 40 other people. I can see the fuss about going at dusk but the sky was blue and the peace trumped the evening lights for us (if you get the subway at night from Brooklyn that passed over a bridge, the views of the city in the dark are incredible so that ticked that box for us). The trip in the lift was a worry for me as I don't like heights or confined spaces but the video show was brilliant to distract you. One tip would be to record the presentation as you get out of the lift and before you step into the observatory. We didn't and I wish we had! I guess the disadvantage of this observatory over the more mid town ones is that you can't see uptown (e.g. Central Park and beyond). There is a cafe which is reasonably priced - and a restaurant which I suspect gets booked up well in advance. We then followed the visit with a sombre reflection at Ground Zero.

They let us in late after standing in the cold. People were mad and verbal about it. People rushed the line once we got in getting thru security. The company’s layout is VERY unorganized w/ admissions. People were very confused on which way to go due to lack of direction and signage. Getting out was also a nightmare. People crammed in a line to zigzag in hopes to get on a packed elevator to exit. Beautiful views once up there if you can get passed people making out in the window seals. 🫣 Not sure I’d go back. Spend the extra $$ for express entering and exiting. However….once in it was a.m.a.z.i.n.g

We went during the day so it wasn't too crowded. As we had done top of the rock at sunset the previous year, It was nice to see NYC from a different viewpoint and time of day. Also being indoors in November was nice! Great 360 views with the option to pay extra for an iPad with information on when you point it at various places, although we didn't bother with this and were not pressured to by the staff either, it's a great idea. We were lucky to time it around 3pm when there was a presentation, explaining the history of the WTC and lots of interesting facts about New York. The guide made it fun and was happy to answer questions. There are plenty of snack bars and gift shops along the way Overall, I highly recommend this, especially in the winter months, I expect it would be busier at sunset like the other viewing decks but was a lovely experience for the daytime.
