The first line you will encounter is the
security checkpoint. The wait for this line will vary depending
on how many visitors there are that day. All visitors MUST
go through the security checkpoint.

information
The second line is for the ticket booth.
If the weather is really beautiful, it may take longer, but
it is worth the wait.
For visitors with pre-purchased Observatory
Tickets (including tickets purchased online): After passing
through the security check, proceed straight ahead through
the doorway to bypass the ticket purchase line and on towards
the line for the Observatory elevators.
For visitors who have NOT pre-purchased Observatory
Tickets: After passing through the security check, proceed
to the right towards the ticket purchase line. The Observatory
ticket booths accept U.S. currency, all American-based travelers
checks, and all major credit cards except Diner's Club. After
purchasing tickets, proceed towards the line for the Observatory
elevators.
The line to get to the top via the elevators
cannot be avoided, however. This will vary depending on number
of visitors as well. |
