“There is no place quite like New York to spend the holidays,
and the Empire State Building tops the list of things to do in
NYC,” said Jean-Yves Ghazi, president of the Empire State Building
Observatory. “From photos with Santa to classic film screenings,
guests will make holiday memories to last a lifetime with the best
views in New York City.”
Topped with Tinsel
Every corner of the Empire State Building Observatory will be
adorned in festive holiday decorations with shining wreaths,
lights, tinsel, bows, and a giant menorah at the two-story building
model. As they make their way through the Observatory Experience’s
immersive exhibits, guests can pose for holiday photos in a
dedicated corner of the 80th Floor with Christmas trees,
snowflakes, presents, and a cozy fireplace backdrop inspired by
Santa’s workshop.
Once they reach the iconic 86th Floor Observatory, guests can
pose in a dedicated Ghirardelli corner decorated with a candy cane
arch, holiday greenery, twinkle lights, and Ghirardelli’s
fan-favorite peppermint bark squares.
Guests will conclude their Observatory visit in the building’s
famed Fifth Avenue Lobby – featured in the holiday classic, “Elf” –
that is decorated with classic holiday decorations like hanging
twinkle lights, wreaths, and an oversized Christmas tree. The
iconic Fifth Avenue Windows depict scenes of sleighs full of
elaborately wrapped gifts, teddy bears, and holiday ice cream
sundaes by Ghirardelli Chocolate.
Tenants and visitors who pass through the Fifth Avenue Lobby
from Monday through Friday in the month of December will hear
holiday tunes performed by professional pianists.
The Man with the Bag
On Nov. 30 and Dec. 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, and 20, Santa Claus
himself will spread holiday cheer and pose for photos with
Observatory guests in his dedicated corner on the building’s 80th
Floor. More information on Santa visits can be found at

From Nov. 13 throughout the holiday season, Ghirardelli
Chocolate will reside on the Empire State Building’s 86th Floor
Observatory every day from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. and 5-8 p.m. The beloved
chocolatier will offer their classic hot cocoa and peppermint hot
cocoa to guests as they take in New York City’s best views from the
comfort of the heated open-air Observatory.

Wonderland pop-up experience. Located at the Coffee & Cocktail
