The One World Trade Center is really an amazing architectural marvel. It is an iconic structure and the area surrounding it really dwarfs in comparison. The view from the top is spectacular and a must visit if you are ever in New York. Hopefully once the COVID19 ends we can all plan a trip to NY and soak in the Big Apple !

The architecture is mind-blowing, the whole building is made of mirror glass. While going up with the elevator there is a nice presentation about the history of the building. At the top you get to see a breathtaking scenery of the whole city and further. They have a lovely gift shop as well. Before entering the building I saw the memorial fron one of the Twins building which was nice to see. The ticket price is affordable and definitely would recommend to visit while in NYC.

Astonishing. Not only for what it represents, but also for its impressive engineering and architecture. At the observatory deck views are jaw dropping. The skyline is way below and even air traffic is below the line of site. Also, the show at the elevator in the way up is creative and adds an extra experience to the ride.

Such a cool building! Its amazing to see how the great people of New York came together after 9/11 to rebuild and create such an amazing building and memorial where the twin towers used to stand. I didnt ride up into the tower but maybe next time Ill have to do that.

Beautiful looking building, when your in lower NYC you can see it nearly everywhere you go. A nice spot to check it out from the outside would be right outside of battery park. Here are some of my photos

Not only is this striking and majestic building a symbol of American strength, grit, and perseverance - this place has reverently captured the heart of NYC, immortalized what stood before it, and has paid homage to those many innocent lives lost before. The elevator is one of the most interesting deliveries of info and very creative! The view, that is where the icing is delivered on this cake. Youll feel as if you are on top of the world, taking in a perspective of the greatest city on earth, and many can share their wealth of knowledge and give some great stories and impart memories that you can cherish with them. Well worth the price of admission, I would recommend this be a Must See for anyone traveling into the city for a visit.

Freedom Tower stands strong. Thank [email protected] in Real Estate, Architecture, Interiors, Hotels, Hospitality

The elevators are very fast and if you’re going up you will see an animation of New York and how it developed to a Metropolis. After that you can walk around and see the amazing view of the whole New York and New Jersey. You will also have a little souvenir shops, which are little bit expensive. If you will buy VIP ticket you will get a tablet which will be giving information of the One World Trade Center and other famous/historical buildings. I highly recommend this place. :)

The views from the top are amazing. It takes about 60 seconds from bottom to top in the elevator. Well worth a visit.

I go here to admire the architecture of the building itself, the architecture is exceptional, & just plainly amazing.Also admiring the view of NYC from the 101st floor is purely memorable.

The tallest building I the United States!! 360 degree observation deck view!! Great gift shop! What a great tribute to the rebuilding of the tragedy of 911!! You can see for miles and get some fantastic photos!! Take the time out if your in NYC & pay tribute and visit the memorial as well!

This place is truly astonishing because of its views you could look at the view for hours if you have a window seat, the food was really nice and the staff where friendly

One World Trade Center (also known as One World Trade, One WTC, or Freedom Tower)[note 1] is the main building of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City. One WTC is the tallest building in the United States, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, and the seventh-tallest in the world. The supertall structure has the same name as the North Tower of the original World Trade Center, which was destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The new skyscraper stands on the northwest corner of the 16-acre (6.5 ha) World Trade Center site, on the site of the original 6 World Trade Center. The building is bounded by West Street to the west, Vesey Street to the north, Fulton Street to the south, and Washington Street to the east.The buildings architect is David Childs, whose firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) also designed the Burj Khalifa and the Willis Tower. The construction of below-ground utility relocations, footings, and foundations for the new building began on April 27, 2006. One World Trade Center became the tallest structure in New York City on April 30, 2012, when it surpassed the height of the Empire State Building. The towers steel structure was topped out on August 30, 2012. On May 10, 2013, the final component of the skyscrapers spire was installed, making the building, including its spire, reach a total height of 1,776 feet (541 m). Its height in feet is a deliberate reference to the year when the United States Declaration of Independence was signed. The building opened on November 3, 2014;[14] the One World Observatory opened on May 29, 2015.[15]On March 26, 2009, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) confirmed that the building would be officially known by its legal name of One World Trade Center, rather than its colloquial name of Freedom Tower.[16][17] The building is 104 standard floors high, but the tower has only 94 actual stories.The new World Trade Center complex will eventually include five high-rise office buildings built along Greenwich Street, as well as the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, located just south of One World Trade Center where the original Twin Towers stood. The construction of the new building is part of an effort to memorialize and rebuild following the destruction of the original World Trade Center complex.

It’s worth a visit to get a fine view of the whole city of NY, not only of Manhattan but also of the other counties. With a clear sky you can see many miles away and get great pictures of all 4 cardinal points from the building.The interactive tablet they give you shows you short stories and fun facts of the main landmarks and buildings across the city, which is a cool thing.

Never but plan to go. Its a shame the towers were destroyed... Although I wasnt born when they existed I still regret not seeing them. Also who the hell gives a one star review on the world trade center??? You just went to one of the most iconic buildings in the entire world what the hell is wrong with you????

We were the within the first 10,000 people to SEE FOREVER from the top of One World Trade. Beautiful restaurant at the top. Beautiful sight of the city anytime of the day or night from the top.The TWIN TOWERS MEMORIAL is also a beautiful and sombering sight, right next door to our new ONE WORLD TRADE.Everytime we visit NYC, we park at the Hoboken train station and ride underneath the ocean and come out inside and underneath ONE WORLD TRADE. Its a great way to enter the city.

Me and my grandmother visited the WTC site in November 2014. Unfortunately for us we were about 4 months too early before the opening of WTC tower one. It appeared finished when standing on the ground by the shimmering memorial pools of the original towers. However at this point in time was unopen to the public. The tower itself was impressive, a giant prism of shimmering glass in the sun. A truly wonderful sight to see in person

Amazing experience, the elevator is pretty fun, fast, informative and unique. Best time to go is between sunset and night, you will love the view.

Simply one of the tallest buildings in NY and the USA! Stunning view of Manhattan with a strong historical content!Simplemente um dos predios mais altos de NY e dos EUA! Vista deslumbrande de Manhatan com um forte conteudo historico !I hope everyone that is reading this is having a really good day. And if you are not, just know that in every new minute that passes you have an opportunity to change that.⁣⁣ Instagram ===> @retarophotography⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Standing as a shining beacon for the new Downtown, and a bold addition to the skyline, One World Trade Center is safe, sustainable, and artistically dynamic. Soaring to a symbolic 1,776 feet — it is the Western Hemisphere’s tallest building, and already an iconic New York landmark. Downside, parking. Hard to find parking but public transportation is readily available. A must see if you are in New York City, nice pleasant atmosphere as well with good restaurants, salmon, steak is a must have. A total recommended experience. Enjoy the videos herein and the fast elevator ride up to the observation floor.

This building has so much history behind. I highly recommend visiting when you have a chance, it represents our strength and persistence. Do not give up when life pushes you the opposite direction. If you are in the downtown NYC area you should visit.

Such a beautiful site. There is an eerie feeling when staring at the long list of names of those whom lost their lives on that tragic day, but the monument is beautiful. Absolutely worth a visit. The One World Trade Center is larger than life, its almost hard to get all of it in one picture! Its a great attraction and needs to be on everyones list.

Definitely this was my best experience when I went to New York you can see the entire city from up there . Unfortunately I couldn’t visit the Empire State but this one was similar .Amazing experience the elevator has a time-laps and when you’re going up you can see the city from years ago until now very excited

BeautifulBeen there three times, Ill definitely go again.

Spectacular place to visit! Lot of things you can do around here! You can take pictures, watch people and grab something to eat while watching the view! Great place to hangout with family and friends!

Building does not need review...the way its built amazing and magnificent....should always respect the people worked hard who did that.

Stunning skyscraper one world trade center is a must seen in NYC. This pic was taken from Flaton street

Was a great experience. Got emotional during the end of the museum tour, but going to the top of the building was awesome. 10/10 would definitely do it again.

If you have a MasterCard book the VIP tour, its 90min and the tour guide (I had Megan) will tell you about the history of the building but also new York, I found ten tour really informative and really added to my experience visiting the towerThe tour also gives you $15 per person voucher to spend in the bar or shop, the stuff in the shop isnt worth it, so I used it at the bar (not the voucher doesnt cover tax - but thats only a couple dollars), my only complaint is the bar has nowhere to sit, which is quite different to other observation decks with bars across the world.There are also regular short talks about different topics which are worth listening toI also loved the lift (elevator for you Americans) which played a video of the history of the area

Me and my wife came here on our honeymoon and we were blown away by the sheer elegance and beauty. We were also surprised to see a bar and restaurant up on the viewing decks. We ate there and had drinks while enjoying the view of our lives up to that point. The guided experience with the tablets and the beauty of the city made it our favorite destination.

I feel Sth else while u there, this place is magnificent

The towers were designed as framed tube structures, giving tenants open floor plans, unobstructed by columns or walls. The framed tube design was introduced by Bangladeshi-American structural engineer Fazlur Rahman Khan in the 1960s. The design was accomplished by using many closely spaced perimeter columns, providing much of the structures strength, with the gravity load shared with the core columns. The elevator system, which made use of sky lobbies and a system of express and local elevators, allowed substantial floor space to be used for office purposes by making the structural core smaller. The design and construction of the towers involved many other innovative techniques, such as wind tunnel experiments and the slurry wall for digging the foundation. Yamasaki also incorporated elements of Islamic architecture in the buildings design, having previously designed Saudi Arabias Dhahran International Airport with the Saudi Binladin Group.

It was great!. we went there last year and the food was delicious. the view is absolutely pleasing!

I visited New York when I was going to visit my relatives, and I’ve gotta say, it’s a really busy city! We had scheduled a trip to the World Trade Center and because of the traffic, used a ferry to get there. The tickets to the one world observatory were a pretty penny, but it was worth it. The views at the top were magnificent (see included photos). The first time up there, my jaw dropped. Overall because of the price, I give this experience a 4 star review.

Had a great time as a non-tourist. The elevator trip to the top was quick. A hint: chew some gum or keep moving your jaw to keep from popping your ears because the elevator moves so fast that you dont have a chance to adjust to the height so your ears will pop. Theres a treat at the top. Sit down and enjoy the show because its very informative. They also have a cafe up there so take your time and enjoy the view from up top.

It’s a beautiful place to see and their food is awesome rip to the victim s of 9/11 they did not deserve this

I was fortunate enough to visit the Empire State building a few years ago, which I was really impressed by, but this place makes that look average. Uninterrupted panoramic views over 3 floors, its so well done too. Probably the highlight is the lift (elevator) that takes you to the top. 47 seconds and a seriously cool media show thrown in while you ascend- amazing!

This place is beyond amazing! The views are out of this world beautiful!! It was a glorious and emotional experience! I didnt want to leave! If you want awesome views of the city of New York then this is the place to see the best views. The elevator ride to the top was so cool. It shows you how the city became to be. I will definitely be coming here again

The world observatory very good for everyone! Tickets 42$ for kids free. Very interesting, and have ristorante and beautiful view

Such a great place with nice views and history from 911.

Incredible whet was achieved here... the views are breathtaking and the show is spot on... the iPads are a bit of a gimmick but we live in a world of tech now

FREAKING AMAZING!!! Totally worth the $39 to get in. You can also get a guided iPad tour for $10.The views are incredible, even the elevator ride has a special surprise for you.There is food and and a bar. Plus a gift shop.If you’re nearby visiting the 9/11 memorial you definitely want to give this some time. So worth it.

Prime tourist spot. Its a must visit to understand the vast history of NYC. Yes it will be busy, yes you will need to pay for entry. Parking is an issue, but exercise is always good! Make sure to checkout the memorial next door, its like a very beautiful garden flustered with flocks of people.

Fantastic tour! The everything went smoothly from presenting tickets to our time for the tour.The elevator ride and presentation was next level and very impressive. The reveal after exiting the elevator was even better!Don’t miss this attraction and have a cup of coffee on top of the world

The direction that came many times, but was exciting, and overflowed in entertainment characteristics. History of New York and the present video are spread by a projector, and several minutes. A curtain went up and, at the moment when I was able to see a real view, I was impressed and almost cried.

A must see. Tickets are a bit pricey but worth it. The view from the top is amazing! You will have a 360 view of almost the entire city.

Great place to visit. Fantastic views of New York.Take drinks up with you as $5 for small bottle of water is taking the p@**. 2 gin and tonics and 2 small beers $72! Thought we were buying the bottle!?Staff were friendly throughout. Buy tickets in advance to save some of the queuing.

You know New York is absolutely packed out with places to visit, see, taste and enjoy and on our 3 night visit we had to include One World tower. We has prebooked our tickets online and I recommend you do the same to avoid the frustration of queuing.Once inside you are whisked up at high speed in one of the manned lifts. Once up in the viewing gallery the whole of New York stretches out in front of you with very handy signs on the ceiling pointing out which direction you are looking ( great for tourists) there is also a cafe / snack area and a gift shop. Staff are nice & helpful so overall a great way to spend a couple of hours.Just wish the twin towers were still standing.God bless America.

I gotta say this is the building i want to go to 9/11 was something that really got me and for new york to stay strong and the U.S. entirely this building is awesome go visit its amazing.

It is not only the holder of largest exhibitions in region like Big 5, Arab Health, Gulf Food, Beauty World, Med Lab & Arabian Travel Market

The views are absolutely breathe taking. I highly recommend getting the tickets for sunset and having a drink at the bar up top!!! You wont regret it!!! All the security etc...is worth the wait!

It was a beautiful experience to be able to see city from above from one of its highest tower, when youre up there youre able to see the Statue of Liberty the Empire State building. It was also very touching being able to see Ground Zero from above and imagining that two towers were there before. A very suggestive experience, I recommend everyone to visit the observatory

I see it outside only and it seems amazing. I hope the next time I travel to New York I could entry abd see everything inside. After all it is the representation of hope...of new begginings.

I had an amazing experience visiting the One World Trade Center. When I went, it was around $40 to go to the top. It was worth it for me, but for some it may not be. From the top, you can see for miles out into New York City. It really is an amazing experience to visit the top. Just remember that there is a baggage check so some items you may not be able to bring to the top. As a photographer, I wasn’t able to bring my tripod.Tip: visit here during sunset! It makes an extra beautiful view of the city and make sure to bring a camera!

Amazing, view and experience. Staff were great also

Very long lines in summer, however a very good view and essential after visiting the memorial right next to it

Really amazing building!

Here is a sense of great emotional impact due to its tragic history. It is amazing memory of the past. The architecture is wonderful. It is really about sensing peoples heartache and connection. What happened here will be forever written in our hearts. The museum dedicated to the tragedy of 9/11 is very beautiful. I recommend a visit.

One of the highest places I’ve seen. I could see all the beautiful New York City. Really amazing.

Its a wonder absolutely beautiful brand new feeling to it breath taking just awsome

Just absolutely stunning views! The elevator ride was very quick and smooth, and there was a large element of surprise when the panels showing the video came up and showed the view! However, I must say that tickets are quite expensive ($38 for a standard plus a $4 fee) , and the earliest time available was 2 hours away. Still, amazing spot!

Awesome place, great experience roaming around in that area.

Whenever i see that building i will trow up everywhere! Know about what happened on 9/11 im scared to stand on front of it. But its a beautiful building

Security are rude at the front desk and have no sense of proper hygiene protocol during the pandemic. They touched all your stuffs unnecessarily

Beautiful monument. It was very powerful to visit , even though we couldn’t go inside because of COVID.

Amazing Architecture, David Childs is one of my favorites :). But in all seriousness this is a must go

Should be on your list when your visiting here . A must-go attraction in NYC. No photo or description will be enough to match the experience. Wonderfully built, amazingly thought to entertain. It literally feels like you’re on top of the world. The shopping center is so futuristic!

Were visiting from Florida and this is our first time in New York City! This has been a dream come true experience and one of the best parts of the whole city is the One World Observatory! Absolutely incredible!

Always an emotional visit. It’s so well done. Probably the best museum I’ve ever been to.

It is an impressive emotional historical place and being there fills you with many feelings and reflection. Sorrow and sadness for what happened. It is a place you cannot miss while in NYC. Opens early in the morning and closes around 9pm. Ive only visited the fountains and surroundings at night but theres also a museum and guided tours. You can visit the top of One WTC for the view and its an impressive building

I had an amazing time at the world trade centre memorial, very hard hitting for sure. Well worth a visit

The most beautiful tower in New York City

Unbelievable place to visit. Very well done memorial site.

My family and I visited here in 2018This was awesome to say the least. the whole experience was breathtakingOne place you must visit on your Big Apple trip!!! Brilliant!!

I had a really nice experience here with great views of NYC.We bought tickets for 10.30am online and we’re straight through with almost no queuing. This was on a Saturday in June so I was very surprised and much relieved.The views at the top were spectacular and the whole experience was slick. The lift with its videos playing inside was very cool.

Nice place to visit also there is a mall undeneath the building

First time I went last year. I got the vip ticket which was like $85. Totally worth it. No waiting in line. Just went to security for screening and was on my way up to too. There was a 2 minute presentation when you get off elevator. Then the screen lifts and you see the city. Really nice views and they have iPads where you can scan a building and tells you about it. I didn’t get a chance to try it since a lot of people were using it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Got some souvenirs. Little pricey. Overall, enjoyed the experience. Definitely wanna go again soon.

This is a must visit site as a result of NY history. The 360 degree views from the top of the tower are breath taking.The elevator ride to the top takes you through a visual history of the construction of the World Trade Centers

Fantastic place the lift journey to the observatory is an experience in itself, once at the top you get the best views of nyc, statue of liberty,Ellis island and the Hudson, not to mention all the buildings like the empire state

Incredible buildings and stunning view from the observation deck. Just looking at it from the ground is awesome. Definitely a must do on your New York bucket list. The observation deck is about 42 dollar with taxes.

Visited the twin towers memorial multiple times before, but this was my first time to the top of One World. The entire experience was quality, including the elevator ride up, and then the views were obviously top-notch. Pro-tip: pay $10 extra for priority entry. Itll save you lots of wait time--a group of six of us were able to walk right in on a busy day.

Powerful, emotional and beautiful experience. Well worth the $42. Be prepared to spend and hour or more at the observation floor, its awesome.

This remarkable tower is officially named One World Trade Center.Locals to NOT call it this.Locals call it Freedom Tower and thats the way I will always think of it.If you have problems with heights (like my bride) you may want to pre-medicate well in advance of stepping into the elevator. Its a very fast trip up 100+ floors and a very clever elevator experience. All the walls are digital displays so going up you experience bedrock and then what you would see (over time) on the way up.The observation floor is an amazing view. My only criticism is that there is a massive display blocking the north view of the island. You have an unobstructed view across the river. But the Manhattan view is obstructed.I would change this. I do not need an unobstructed view of New Jersey...That being said...It is a powerful experience to be up there and the memorial installation for ground zero will be an emotional experience you will never forget. If youve never been, I highly recommend you make time for this. You have to book your visit MONTHS in advance so plan accordingly to reserve a slot.

The One World Trade Center is truly a unique place. Nowhere else is this atmosphere of a strong community and sense of exploration. The observatory is absolutely phenomenal. The view is great (as you can see on my added pictures) and the price of 34 bucks is absolutely worth it. GREAT

There are hundreds, if not thousands of things you could see in New York City, if you wanted to see them all from one place, this is the place to see them from. You can see the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building, and Central Park.

This is awesome. You have to come...

Wow. Nicely done. Great attraction! Buy tickets online and save the waiting queue

Love it! Best place to start NYC exploring trip. They have lots of info, really nicely presented. The restaurant on top is such a good idea.We came later in the day, watched the sunset and stopped for wine in the restaurant in the evening. The view of the Empire State while sipping wine is unforgettable!

So amazing , can see NYC from the top of Tower

Tallest and grandest. Worth the wait. Que can take an hour at times. View is one of the best. Sunset especially

The tallest building on NYC and West world. If you notice this building is formed by 6 isosceles triangles. If you stay close to the building on the base of one triangle the building seems infinite! It has an observatory and they say its a cool view over Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Top view of a wonderful city

Wow! Views are truly unbelievable. Its something everyone should do when visiting New York. The only downside was that the windows were grubby from people touching the glass so trying to get a good photo was difficult. Apart from that, loved it so much.

Amazing view on New York City. One of the most amazing thing Ive experienced in my life.
