SQUARESPACE CACHEVERSION=1414528668613Port Authority New York/New Jersey(NEW YORK) — The operators of the highly anticipated observation deck at the top of New York’s One World Trade Center have released new details about pricing and what visitors will experience when it opens in the spring of 2015.

One World Observatory will span 120,000 square feet over three floors, providing visitors with panoramic views of New York City and the surrounding region.

After taking elevators to the building’s 102nd floor, visitors will watch a two-minute video presentation combing bird’s-eye imagery and time-lapse shots of New York City.

The main observatory space on the 100th floor features an interactive skyline “concierge” to help find city landmarks and neighborhoods from 1,250 feet in the air. That level will also feature a Sky Portal, where visitors can step onto a 14-foot-wide circular disc in the floor for a live view in high-definition of city streets below.

One World Observatory will also feature three unique dining areas, including a seated dining area, a café, and a bar.

Admission tickets go on sale in early 2015, with tickets ranging in cost between $32 for adults, $30 for seniors over age 65, and $26 for children ages 6-12.

The Observatory will offer complimentary admission tickets to 9/11 family members and 9/11 rescue and recovery workers. Special discounts will be also offered to active and retired members of the U.S. military.

One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the U.S., opens on Monday, Nov. 3, when media giant Conde Nast formally moves in.
