NYC: Vessel at Hudson Yards Admission Ticket

7.Vessel at Hudson Yards Admission Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 203 reviews · 1 day · from $13Best value

Book timed, one-time entry to the Vessel, Thomas Heatherwick’s 154-flight sculpture at Hudson Yards. Climb as much of its nearly 2,500 stairs as you like, or ask an Experience Ambassador about the elevator. You’ll get shifting views of the plaza and Hudson River, plus a close look at its reflective copper-colored cladding.

“Visiting the Vessel was very pleasant overall. Due to the cold weather, there was no waiting time, and the staff was very friendly and quick during the security check. The view is unique, and the architecture is definitely something special. It’s probably more enjoyable in the summer than in December, when the weather is warmer. Still, it’s worth seeing at least once when visiting New York.”
