One World Trade Center
has revealed ticket pricing for its
One World Observatory
deck that will take over
the building's 100, 101, and 102 floors
when it opens to the public in 2015. Adult admission to the deck, which will obviously become the highest in the city because it is on the top floors of the city's tallest building, will
cost $32
. While it may sound like a hefty price, the cost is in the range of classic observation decks throughout the city like
Top of the Rock
which asks $29, and the
Empire State Building's
which
costs visitors from $29
(all the way up to $67.) One World Observatory will even face new rivals when
One Vanderbilt's
and
Hudson Yards' observation decks
open to the public in the not-totally-distant future.
Along with unveiling the observation deck's price, operating company Legends Hospitality has also
revealed the attraction's logo
which, as per a press release, includes the building's silhouette "outlined in multiple hues of the color blue, representative of the vast skyline that surrounds the space on all sides. Angles, reflections, strength and sky all combine in the mark to
incite emotions of stability
, balance and optimism."
The One World Observatory experience will include a trip up to the building's highest floors,
a 1,250-foot climb
which,
may we remind
, will
only take 60 seconds
in the building's special Sky Pod elevators. The tour will begin with an exhibition that shows visitors first-hand
accounts of the rising tower
as well as some of the bedrock on which it's built. Once visitors reach the top of the building, they will be ushered to view an interactive video whose
screen draws back to unveil the real-life views
from the 102nd floor. Visitors can then visit the observation deck's
other amenities
, like its restaurants, bar, or retail area, or its City Pulse station where docents will be available to
tell guests about the views
. Confused? Good thing there's this video to depict everything the attraction will offer.
