Moving on to the main observatory, floor-to-ceiling windows offer unobstructed views of New York’s most famous landmarks, from Central Park to the Statue of Liberty.

The towering structure—the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere—stands on the site of the original Twin Towers, acting as a beacon of resilience, hope, and unity. As you wander through the observatory, you can't help but reflect on the memories of the past while watching the vibrant city pulsating into the future.
