You've seen the Empire State Building in movies, postcards, and probably from halfway across Manhattan. This time, you're starting at the top.
Your experience begins at the Observation Deck, where you'll take in the skyline from one of New York's most famous landmarks. From there, clues on your phone lead you back to street level and through Midtown, where each stop adds something new to your picnic spread.

Along the way, you’ll uncover stories behind the building’s fame, film history, Art Deco details, and the human effort it took to create a tower that still stops people in their tracks. Your day ends beneath the Empire State Building, where you’ll unpack your picnic, enjoy games and conversation starters, and look up at the landmark you just stood on top of.
