“The Empire State Building has always been at the heart of New York’s holiday celebrations. Our fall festivities bring that same energy to the ‘World’s Most Famous Building’ as they blend tradition, creativity, and a bit of spooky fun for all our visitors,” said Dan Rogoski, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Empire State Building Observatory.
Supermodel Heidi Klum, known as the “Queen of Halloween,” visited the building to light the tower and officially launch the festivities. Visitors are invited to tour the Observatory in costume through the Halloween weekend.
Through November 21, New York bagel shop Ess-a-Bagel will operate a pop-up on the 86th-floor observatory deck from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, offering bagel sandwiches, fall treats, and seasonal snacks. Additionally, from October 30 through November 3, runners in the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon will receive a 15% discount on tickets to the 86th- and 102nd-floor observatories upon showing proof of participation.
The 86th-floor observatory also features a fall-themed photo installation inspired by a New York apple orchard, open through November 6. On Halloween night, the building’s tower will be illuminated in orange and green to resemble a giant pumpkin, accompanied by a new hourly “spooky” chime display featuring flashes and strobes from dusk to dawn.
The Empire State Building’s Observatory Experience underwent a $165 million renovation that introduced a new ticket center, interactive museum, and redesigned 102nd-floor observatory with panoramic city views. The attraction has been ranked the number one top destination in New York City for four consecutive years by Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards: Best of the Best Things to Do.
