Before You Go
- Minimal bags; avoid glass containers.
- Digital tickets ready; ID for certain passes.
- Check weather; plan layers or 102nd add‑on for wind.
Prohibited (Typical Examples)
- Glass bottles, large tripods, bulky sports gear, drones.
- Oversize luggage may be refused; verify bag policy before arrival.
On Site
- Security screening similar to museums.
- Lines: ticket check → security → elevators → exhibits → decks.
- Move past elevator clusters for calmer corners on the deck.
Express Pass Flow
- Follow Express signage at ticket/security stages.
- Rejoin general flow post‑screening; time savings are largest at peak hours.
- Stay flexible; staff will direct you during surges.
Time Planning (Guideline)
| Crowd Level | Entry→Deck | Deck Time | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | 10–20 min | 30–45 min | ~60–70 min |
| Moderate | 20–40 min | 40–60 min | ~70–100 min |
| Peak | 40–70 min | 45–60 min | ~90–130 min |
Express buys back queue time; it doesn’t shorten the skyline you’ll want to enjoy.
Bottom Line
Small prep = smooth visit. Travel light, follow the flow, and let the building’s choreography carry you to the view.
