Why you should go…
No skyline shot says New York like the view from this Art Deco legend. The 86th-floor open-air observatory delivers jaw-dropping panoramas in every direction, and the immersive museum floors tell the story of the building King Kong made famous. Go at sunset and watch the city light up beneath you.
