HISTORYJanuary 9, 2013The trade center's twin 110-story towers, the planet's tallest buildings when they officially opened in 1973, were destroyed in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the U.S.Upvoted Nov 30, 2024
One World Trade Center is a masterfully designed building and a symbol of resilience and resolve. I'd recommend this site as a follow on to the 9/11 Memorial. It shows first the pain then the triumph
The White HouseJuly 3, 2012President Obama reviews the site from the 22nd floor and signs one of the final steel beams that will be added to the tower with the message: "We remember. We rebuild. We come back stronger!" Read more

Alessandro WürglerMay 3, 2018Absolutely worth it going all the way up if it’s a clear day: can’t beat the view. We’ve also upgraded to the iPad experience, found out some interesting tidbits about the most famous landmarks 👍🏻
Yasaman MahdianAugust 29, 2018When you are standing exactly besides it, you will get how freaking huge and awesome it really is! Wow! Just wow!
TingJuly 30, 2015Don't miss walking around the beautiful subterranean structures designed by Spanish architect Calatrava before his above ground Oculus is completed.
Pamela BenfordAugust 23, 2017WTC is a very special place and it touched my heart and soul when I was there to visit this place for myself. I will never forget about 9/11 and the wonderful people who lost their lives.
Gsus S.S.December 20, 2019Maybe one of the best skydecks in the world, because of the production and view. You can really feel vertigo in the 360 panoramic route. The only negative point? $21.5 for a Jack&Coke... come on!
Renee BudakMay 28, 2018The memorial is done very well and quite is quite touching seeing the names of the people who died there. It is an important place to visit when in NY.
Sirus OrndoffMarch 22, 2017Buy tickets online if you want to skip the first line. Buy directly from venue otherwise. Great experience and views. Everything is neat and clean and organized.
Markus BlattNovember 30, 2018Honestly this is great. You really get value for your money, the experience starts already in the elevator and finds its climax on the 100th floor where you have a spectacular view
David AlexanderJuly 6, 2016Truly amazing. You have to see this when coming to NY. Just another level from empire state building. Like Wow. Truly an experience to experience:
HutcHJanuary 3, 2015This place is breathtaking. It's the tallest building in America. The observation deck is set to open in the spring and I can't wait to do it. Amazing building!
Claudio FloreaniSeptember 30, 2013If you look at the new 1 World Trade Center building from the center of one side standing at the base, it looks like a very tall pyramid #911memorial
The entire area is undergoing some really incredible transformation, definitely worth checking out not just the building but everything surrounding it!
Nate SSeptember 11, 2014As of 2009, this tower is officially known as One World Trade Center (1WTC), and the name Freedom Tower was retired.
Theresa RoldanJuly 10, 2016Super strict security....but the building looks fantastic and the office I went to was amazinggg. Beware of fast elevators and ears popping
Martin JenningsSeptember 13, 2016Best thing I've done in new York. Much better view than either the rock or the empire state building
The Corcoran GroupOctober 11, 2013The city's tallest building will open to tenants in 2014, with publishing giant Conde Nast occupying more than a million square feet. The observation deck won't open to the public until 2015 - Curbed
Guillaume FlandreJanuary 15, 2016The building is great, the all-white subway corridor is worth instagramming, the view is breathtaking, but you'll be behind glass, so photos will likely feature lots of lights reflections
Carlos AltahonaAugust 25, 2016The One World Observatory experience will include a trip up to the building's highest floors, a 1,250-foot climb which will only take 60 seconds in the building's special Sky Pod elevators.![[Princess]](https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/user/32x32/U50M5E4J12PXBVYC.jpg "[Princess]")
It was truly a fascinating experience. Worth every cent and dollar from the elevator ride to the gorgeous panoramic views of the City.
ThelocaltripperJune 7, 2015It really is a beautiful place. I wasn't able to visit the museum bit the two memorials are something to look at.
Halana MendonçaMarch 26, 2016Imposing building of Manhattan, you must to go there, It's fantastic! but save money it's expensive haha go in the afternoon to see the city turning the lights on
Liliana BenitezAugust 16, 2015Nice view from this observatory. Best if you buy your tickets before you came at the website. Save the line.
- I’ve ran my business in this building since 2016. I never get tried of the views and the beauty of this building and what it represents to all Americans!
Mariana PantalenaAugust 12, 2015Worth the visit. The view is stunning and the story of the construction is very unique.
Michael GuzmanMarch 10, 2016The view 😍 love this place you can see the entire city is best if you go at nite- Pam & JayDecember 24, 2016Get tickets online. Go off peak. A silly system of lining up outside for tickets and then going back outside (in the freezing cold) and getting back in line with your ticket. Seriously?
Esra PRGAugust 27, 2014Just breathtaking! It was under construction when I was there... It's finished now, so probably even more amazing to see!
Naohiro WatanabeSeptember 11, 2013On Sep 11th 2013, New York marked the 12th anniversary of the 911 attack on the World Trade center. Always remember the ones we lost!
Staff PicksDecember 6, 2016One World Trade Center was one of the more wished for places throughout 2015’s I Want Somewhere holiday campaign. Where’s your somewhere? Enter to win a bucket list experience. Read more
King ReyesApril 21, 2015Tallest building on the western hemisphere. Don't forget to stop by 911 memorial and pay respects to 911 victims!
NY WaterwayMay 2, 2012Love seeing the development on this building each day. Taking pictures never gets old. If you are standing by the Weehawken 9/11 Memorial, look in between and you will see Freedom Tower!
Michelin Travel & LifestyleFebruary 19, 2013A memorial park is already open and soon an office tower and museum will follow. - Green Guide Editor
Kathy BeckJuly 11, 2017Tour and 360 views of NYC are amazing! Fun family activity. They stop serving food at 9pm so make a reservation.
Lina GonzoDecember 2, 2012The Tower is being built. Clouds cover the unbuilt portion, so this photo gives a good Gestalt-type idea of what it will look like.
Greg S.January 31, 2016Amazing view! Make sure it's a clear day when you go; $32 is a lot to pay if you can't see anything!
Rafael ReedAugust 17, 2015Don't go to the observatory deck. The Empire State or the Top of the Rock have a better view. Nevertheless it's a great modern building
JoAnne KaoMay 14, 2017Sometimes it's fine to stare and smile. We will always survive and rebuild. #nyc Ping me 4> info!
Joao Veloso JrAugust 18, 2015Best view of Manhattan. The picture they sell kinda sucks, but if you like, it's cheaper at ground level
Bradley SacksNovember 4, 2018Pay the $15 for the AR iPad thing if is well wort it! Do this on your first day in NY!!
Jason QuarisaNovember 1, 2017Beautiful building. Make sure you check out the Oculus and the shopping centre and station below also.
Isabela SchlupFebruary 21, 2016I knew the twin towers, and the new world trade it's simple beautiful ! Great way To honor the place.
