Q&A
A: There aren’t any strict age limits for the Empire State Building tours! They’re great for all ages, but keep in mind that the top deck is a bit higher up and may not be ideal for very young kids or those with a fear of heights. The 3.5-hour and 4.5-hour options with transport are great for families since they include convenient pickup and drop-off.
A: The best times to visit are typically in the spring (April to June) and fall (September to November) when the weather is mild and the views are clear. Summer can be crowded and hot, so if you can avoid peak tourist season, do! Also, try booking the 3-hour or 4.5-hour tours in the early morning or late afternoon for a better experience.
A: Yes, you can usually reschedule your tickets if you give notice ahead of time! Just check the specific terms when you book, as they may vary slightly depending on the tour option you choose. Generally, they’re pretty flexible, especially with the transport options.

Thinking of gifting the Empire State Building tour—any thoughts?
I’m planning to give my brother and his girlfriend the 3.5-hour ESB tour with transport for their anniversary! I’ve heard the views are incredible, especially from the 102nd floor. Any tips on how to make the day extra special? Should I include a nice dinner somewhere nearby too?
Just went on the Empire State Building tour—wow!
I took the 4.5-hour tour last week and it was amazing! Skipped the lines, which saved us a ton of time. The guide was super knowledgeable and made it so fun. The views from both decks were just spectacular. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to see NYC from above!
