HISTORY

The trade center's twin 110-story towers, the planet's tallest buildings when they officially opened in 1973, were destroyed in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the U.S.

One World Trade Center is a masterfully designed building and a symbol of resilience and resolve. I'd recommend this site as a follow on to the 9/11 Memorial. It shows first the pain then the triumph

The White House

President Obama reviews the site from the 22nd floor and signs one of the final steel beams that will be added to the tower with the message: "We remember. We rebuild. We come back stronger!" Read more

Absolutely worth it going all the way up if it’s a clear day: can’t beat the view . We’ve also upgraded to the iPad experience, found out some interesting tidbits about the most famous landmarks ????????

Yasaman Mahdian

When you are standing exactly besides it, you will get how freaking huge and awesome it really is! Wow! Just wow!

Don't miss walking around the beautiful subterranean structures designed by Spanish architect Calatrava before his above ground Oculus is completed.

Pamela Benford

WTC is a very special place and it touched my heart and soul when I was there to visit this place for myself. I will never forget about 9/11 and the wonderful people who lost their lives.

Gsus S.S.

Maybe one of the best skydecks in the world, because of the production and view . You can really feel vertigo in the 360 panoramic route. The only negative point? $21.5 for a Jack&Coke... come on!

Renee Budak

The memorial is done very well and quite is quite touching seeing the names of the people who died there. It is an important place to visit when in NY.

Sirus Orndoff

Buy tickets online if you want to skip the first line . Buy directly from venue otherwise. Great experience and views . Everything is neat and clean and organized .

Markus Blatt

Honestly this is great. You really get value for your money, the experience starts already in the elevator and finds its climax on the 100th floor where you have a spectacular view

David Alexander

Truly amazing. You have to see this when coming to NY. Just another level from empire state building. Like Wow. Truly an experience to experience:

HutcH

This place is breathtaking. It's the tallest building in America. The observation deck is set to open in the spring and I can't wait to do it. Amazing building!

Claudio Floreani

If you look at the new 1 World Trade Center building from the center of one side standing at the base, it looks like a very tall pyramid #911memorial

Gabriel Ruas Santos-Rocha

The entire area is undergoing some really incredible transformation, definitely worth checking out not just the building but everything surrounding it!

Nate S

As of 2009, this tower is officially known as One World Trade Center (1WTC), and the name Freedom Tower was retired.

Theresa Roldan

Super strict security....but the building looks fantastic and the office I went to was amazinggg. Beware of fast elevators and ears popping

Martin Jennings

Best thing I've done in new York. Much better view than either the rock or the empire state building

The Corcoran Group

The city 's tallest building will open to tenants in 2014, with publishing giant Conde Nast occupying more than a million square feet. The observation deck won't open to the public until 2015 - Curbed

Guillaume Flandre

The building is great, the all-white subway corridor is worth instagramming, the view is breathtaking, but you'll be behind glass, so photos will likely feature lots of lights reflections

Carlos Altahona

The One World Observatory experience will include a trip up to the building's highest floors, a 1,250-foot climb which will only take 60 seconds in the building's special Sky Pod elevators .

[Princess]

It was truly a fascinating experience. Worth every cent and dollar from the elevator ride to the gorgeous panoramic views of the City .

Thelocaltripper

It really is a beautiful place. I wasn't able to visit the museum bit the two memorials are something to look at.

.

Extremely Amazing building to roam around. The lower ground floor is very huge

Halana Mendonça

Imposing building of Manhattan, you must to go there, It's fantastic! but save money it's expensive haha go in the afternoon to see the city turning the lights on

Liliana Benitez

Nice view from this observatory . Best if you buy your tickets before you came at the website. Save the line .

Paco MD FACS

Architecture is amazing and a landmark of the city

Mariana Pantalena

Worth the visit. The view is stunning and the story of the construction is very unique.

Shawn Ryan Randleman

I’ve ran my business in this building since 2016. I never get tried of the views and the beauty of this building and what it represents to all Americans!

Steffen Michel

What a view ! What a bar ! Express pass only at weekends necessary.

Michael Guzman

The view ???? love this place you can see the entire city is best if you go at nite

Pam & Jay

Get tickets online. Go off peak. A silly system of lining up outside for tickets and then going back outside (in the freezing cold) and getting back in line with your ticket. Seriously?

Esra PRG

Just breathtaking! It was under construction when I was there... It's finished now, so probably even more amazing to see!

Naohiro Watanabe

On Sep 11th 2013, New York marked the 12th anniversary of the 911 attack on the World Trade center. Always remember the ones we lost!

King Reyes

Tallest building on the western hemisphere. Don't forget to stop by 911 memorial and pay respects to 911 victims!

Love seeing the development on this building each day. Taking pictures never gets old. If you are standing by the Weehawken 9/11 Memorial, look in between and you will see Freedom Tower!

Fabian Arvizu

Buy your tickets online in advance. The ride in the elevator is amazing

Michelin Travel & Lifestyle

A memorial park is already open and soon an office tower and museum will follow. - Green Guide Editor

Kathy Beck

Tour and 360 views of NYC are amazing! Fun family activity. They stop serving food at 9pm so make a reservation .

Lina Gonzo

The Tower is being built. Clouds cover the unbuilt portion, so this photo gives a good Gestalt-type idea of what it will look like.

Tatiana Kuzminski

The observation floor experience was awesome!

Greg S.

Amazing view ! Make sure it's a clear day when you go; $32 is a lot to pay if you can't see anything!

Rafael Reed

Don't go to the observatory deck. The Empire State or the Top of the Rock have a better view . Nevertheless it's a great modern building

JoAnne Kao

Sometimes it's fine to stare and smile. We will always survive and rebuild. #nyc Ping me 4> info!

Joao Veloso Jr

Best view of Manhattan. The picture they sell kinda sucks, but if you like, it's cheaper at ground level

Bradley Sacks

Pay the $15 for the AR iPad thing if is well wort it! Do this on your first day in NY!!

Isabela Schlup

I knew the twin towers, and the new world trade it's simple beautiful ! Great way To honor the place.
