This experience was incredible! I would 100% recommend even if you’re scared of heights! You get the best unobstructed views of the city. The staff were really friendly and attentive. Showtime and Keyur were so kind and helped us massively pluck up the courage to hang off the edge! They are an absolute credit to this experience so thank you so much for making this the best attraction we’ve done in New York!

City Climb at The Edge is an absolute must-try for thrill-seekers! The experience was unforgettable, and the crew made it even better. Wilber and Kavon were incredible guides—professional, personable, and fun. They made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, emphasizing safety as their top priority, which put my mind at ease the entire time. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the adrenaline rush from stepping out onto the platform is like no other. If you’re looking for a unique way to experience New York City, this is it. Highly recommend it and can’t wait to do it again!

What superb, wonderful, encouraging staff! They made this experience totally memorable, especially EMILY, SONNY, CHRISSY. Thank you so much for our everlasting memory. A “must do” in New York.

This was the most funnest experience I ever had! I did it for my husband’s 25th birthday & he was having so much fun! I forgot the name of the person who was taking our pictures but he has a beard & he was very funny & he was making everyone feel very pumped up & excited to do this climb! Our instructor was the guy with the shaved beard (I forgot his name too😭) very fun as well! He was making us feel comfortable & he made the whole process of hanging of the building seem very calm and easy! Which helped us a lot! The group we were with were tourists from Europe & out of state, the instructor & photographer made all of us feel like a bunch of friends during & by the end of it! Another plus is that after The City Climb we were able to go to The Edge as well! So it seemed very much worth it! You get 2 experiences! If you’re a native New Yorker like my husband & I please do it once!! You will look at NYC in a different way! I highly recommend it!!

Great one of a kind experience. Don't let fear turn you away from this. My friend is scared of heights and this ended up being the highlight of the trip for you. You'll get some of the coolest pictures you'll ever have taken of you. The workers go above and beyond in ensuring safety at every turn and also try their best to make it fun for us. Great for thrill seekers, but everyone else as well. Edge itself is set in a fantastic location with views of both the midtown and downtown skylines.
