Meeting Point

Meet in front of the Vessel structure in Hudson Yards. The closest subway stop is 34th Street-Hudson Yards Subway Station on the 7 subway line.

Vessel is located between 30th and 34th streets and between 10th and 11th avenues.

FAQs

We coordinate to get timed entry tickets for you to enter the Edge observatory right after your walking tour. However, times may vary slightly due to availability.
Vessel is the centerpiece of Hudson Yards. This interactive, 150-foot art installation features interconnecting flights of stairs so you see new angles of New York City with every step. It’s currently closed to climbers but is viewable from the ground level.
At 1,100 feet up, Edge has the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere. It offers unparalleled views of NYC through its glass floor, where you can look straight down 100 stories, and its tilted outer barrier so you really can lean over the edge of New York. Unique features include a champagne bar and a corner where one person can stand surrounded only by glass and sky.
There’s 1-2 miles of walking at a moderate pace. If you’re traveling with a stroller or wheelchair, the High Line and Vessel also have elevator access instead of stairs, but we can’t guarantee the elevators will be working. This can be modified for private tours.
We understand plans change. You can always change your tour 24 hours or more before you tour. We offer a 100% refund up to 24 hours prior to your tour start time. Within 24 hours of your tour, we would have incurred hard costs and therefore cannot allow rescheduling or cancellation without costs.
