Families ride up to the open-air 86th-floor deck, and optionally the glass-walled 102nd floor, for panoramic city views. On the way up, an exhibit floor walks kids through how the skyscraper was built and its pop-culture moments.
An outdoor sky deck jutting out from the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards, where kids can stand on a glass floor looking straight down 1,100 feet. Angled glass walls and a set of indoor light-and-mirror installations make it a good pick in any weather.
Groups work together to crack puzzles and find clues across multi-room themed adventures, with unlimited hints available. The company markets its games as family-friendly for all skill levels, so it works well for school-age kids with a parent.
A multi-floor observation experience above Grand Central where mirrored rooms and art installations surround kids with reflections of the skyline. Visitors can also take Ascent, an all-glass elevator that climbs the outside of the tower.
Three stacked levels of indoor and outdoor decks atop 30 Rockefeller Plaza give kids wide-open views of Central Park and the Empire State Building. Add-on experiences include a rotating open-air SKYLIFT platform and a photo op on a replica steel beam.
The Beaux-Arts train station where kids can spot constellations on the Main Concourse ceiling, test the Whispering Gallery and watch trains come and go. Official 90-minute guided tours explore hidden corners.
