Empire State Building's AM/PM Experience

The Empire State Building AM/PM Experience ticket is valid for one guest and includes two same-day visits to the 86th Floor Observation Deck — once during the day and once at night. It also includes access to the immersive exhibits that showcase the Empire State Building’s history, construction, and cultural significance.

When booking your AM/PM ticket, you will select a specific time for your daytime visit. After your first visit, you can return later that same day for your nighttime experience during the designated evening hours — no additional reservation required.

Evening return hours are generally available starting three hours before closing time, which varies throughout the year based on demand. Please check your ticket confirmation for the most up-to-date return window for your visit.

Yes, all tickets include access to the Empire State Building’s immersive museum experience. Explore galleries on the second and 80th floors which feature interactive exhibits, historic artifacts, and pop culture moments — all included on your journey to the top.

The Express Pass skips the second floor exhibits for faster entry, but guests may still choose to visit them during their experience.
