One Times Square

One Times Square

A visit to One Times Square includes two experiences: Times Travel and Skywalk.

Even the journey up is a highlight: the glass elevator gives you a unique view of Times Square.

You then travel through its history, ending with its New Year’s Eve traditions. Finally, head out onto the Skywalk for panoramic views over Times Square.

1. Times Travel

Times Travel takes you on an interactive journey through the history of Times Square. You’ll experience highlights from the past century of New York, Times Square, and its New Year’s Eve tradition, and discover how it became one of the world’s most iconic places.

The journey ends in the present with a New Year’s Eve celebration and plenty of confetti. They really do celebrate New Year’s Eve here every day! Highlights include:

• Historic New Year’s Eve balls: the collection includes four balls from past celebrations, including the very first ball and the most recent one used until 2025. You can see them up close, touch them, and take a look behind the scenes.
• Interactive New Year’s Eve podium: after a mini countdown, you can play with an interactive fireworks display.
• The Wishing Wall: write your New Year’s wish on a piece of confetti that will actually float down over Times Square at the next New Year’s Eve celebration.
• New Year’s Eve countdown: a digital display counts down to the real celebration.

2. Skywalk

At the heart of One Times Square is a 360-degree observation deck with direct views of Times Square. You feel right in the middle of the action. The focus here is on experiencing the center of New York, with Times Square directly below you, rather than taking in a distant skyline panorama.

Seeing Times Square from above is incredible, especially at night!

The observation deck also has a section with a long glass floor where you can look straight down.

Inside, you’ll find more elements of the famous Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration:

• The year numerals: perfect for a photo.
• The crystal podium: see what the podium used for the midnight countdown looks like.
• The Centennial Ball: a historic version of the New Year’s Eve ball from 2007.
