About

Start your Saturday with early access to the Empire State Building. The Sunrise Ticket, offered only on Saturday mornings, lets you enter the 86th Floor Observation Deck before it opens to the public to watch the sun rise over New York City from 1,054 feet, with 360º views from Central Park to the Statue of Liberty in a quieter setting.

Guests receive complimentary Starbucks Reserve Empire State Building Micro-blend coffee and a selection of Princi pastries.

After sunrise, continue with pre-opening access to the museum galleries to learn about the building’s construction, its appearances in films like King Kong and Sleepless in Seattle, and its place in the city’s culture. This limited-capacity option suits visitors who want an early, low-crowd visit.
