Submitting a request does not guarantee a date.

Yes, Empire State Building school groups of 20 guests or more receive preferred pricing on tickets. NYC Title 1 schools receive additional preferred pricing on select dates and times. Contact the Observation Deck sales team for current rates and availability.

Every Empire State Building visit for a school trip includes the interactive museum and the 86th Floor Observation Deck, 1,050 feet above Midtown Manhattan. The museum holds nine galleries covering the building's iconic history. At the Empire State Building, kids who studied the engineering unit stand inside the World's Most Famous Building instead of looking at a diagram of it.

Yes, the Empire State Building lesson plans follow New York State Learning Standards for STEAM and social studies. They were developed with Bank Street College of Education for the Empire State Building. For students in grades 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12, each subject comes in its own version.
