    Greg & Kathy’s One Times Square Skywalk Experience.

    The One Times Square Skywalk is an astounding and world renowned observation deck and one of the most exciting attractions of New York City!!! Located on the 19th floor of the One Times Square building, this observation deck features the best panoramic views of Times Square, one of the world’s busiest tourist destination and entertainment hub. The One Times Square is a gorgeously designed and well revered building. Located in Midtown Manhattan, the building is owned by real estate firms, Jamestown LP, & Sherwood Equities. Designed by architect, Cyrus Lazelle Warner Eidlitz, it was fully completed in 1904. The building is 363 feet high and has 25 floors. Since 1907, the One Times Square has hosted the famous and annual New Year’s Eve Ball Drop Celebration, a tradition that began with fireworks and a time ball. In July of 2026, I brought and treated my wife and myself for a visit to the Skywalk at the One Times Square, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our experience!!! We both marveled at the many core features of the Skywalk and we were warmly welcomed and well treated by the staff. To get to the Skywalk on the 19th floor, my wife and I ascended upward in a fully transparent and exterior glass elevator. We found this exciting because we had breathtaking views of the city and its many billboard displays during our ride upward. When it came to the Skywalk, we loved that it provided us with an amazing 360 degree, highly enhanced viewing of Times Square and other significant locations in the city. We had fun seeing the massive colorful digital ads and neon signs littered throughout Midtown Manhattan, the Red Steps in Father Duffy’s Square, the city’s majestic skyscrapers such as the historic Knickerbocker Hotel, the Paramount Building and One Astor Plaza, and its very prominent Broadway theaters, such as the Minskoff Theater & the New Amsterdam Theater. We also had great views of both the Harlem & Hudson River. In addition, my wife and I also loved walking over the Transparent Glass Walkway. This walkway is located on the Skywalk and is positioned 19 floors above Broadway. We found that it provided an exhilarating viewpoint of the numerous locations and activities taking place on the street level!!! Last but certainly not least, my wife and I had fun seeing the balls used in prior New Year’s Eve celebrations, and also the one that will be used for the 2027 New Year's Eve Times Square Ball Drop. We learned that the ball is powered by advanced LED modules and can display a palette of over 16 million colors. The staff did a great job on highlighting the history of the One Times Square as well as the annual New Year’s Eve celebrations. Both my wife & and I thank the staff for their great professionalism, kindness and for taking wonderful of us during our visit to the One Times Square Skywalk!!! We highly recommend for everyone to visit and explore this outstanding attraction at an iconic destination!!!

    One Times Square Skywalk Admission Ticket: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.

    How much does One Times Square Skywalk Admission Ticket cost?

    +

    Prices start at $33 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does One Times Square Skywalk Admission Ticket take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.

    Is One Times Square Skywalk Admission Ticket worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule One Times Square Skywalk Admission Ticket?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is One Times Square Skywalk Admission Ticket suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book One Times Square Skywalk Admission Ticket?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does One Times Square Skywalk Admission Ticket start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in New York?

    +

    New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit New York?

    +

    September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in New York?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
