The One World Observatory may be coming
in first place for the best tourist spot in the
city, but that doesn’t mean New Yorkers need
to steer clear. The One World Observatory is
a masterpiece of modern architecture while
simultaneously a powerful memorial to those
lost on 9/11 that every resident should visit at
least once in their lifetime. Visitors start on the
ground floor of the 1,776 foot tall, 104-story
building where they are surrounded by granite
walls designed to simulate the bedrock upon
which skyscrapers are built in New York CIty.
As visitors ascend to the observatory in a large
elevator, video screens depict a time lapse
of the city beginning as unsettled lands and
transforming into the city we know today.
