On the Manhattan skyline, the Empire State Building is a notable skyscraper. The historically enormous and iconic edifice, dubbed "the World's Most Famous Building," is on many "must-do" and "must-see" lists for visitors to New York City.

The Building's construction began in 1929, and it has since become one of New York's most iconic landmarks and the city's "heart." Visitors can ascend to one of two viewing platforms, from which they can see the entirety of New York. The 86th floor of the Building costs $42 for adults and $36 for children. The second observation deck is on the 102nd level
