Thank you for purchasing this incredible package.  Your day will be packed with the thrill, fun, and excitement of New York City and these two fabulous attractions.

IMPORTANT:  RAIL TICKETS ARE VALID FOR TRAVEL UP TO 14 DAYS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE.

As you can see, you have received two tickets:  a round-trip rail ticket (VALID FOR OFF-PEAK TRAVEL ONLY) and a special event ticket marked “ESB SKYRIDE”.  When you board your Metro-North train, give the conductor your rail ticket.  It will be punched and given back to you. Make sure to hold onto your rail ticket for your return trip home.

To gain admittance to both venues, FIRST go to the NY SKYRIDE ticket window (located at 350 Fifth Avenue, at 34th Street, on the 2nd floor of the Empire State Building).  Convenient access to the ticket window is provided by the escalator on the 33rd Street side of the building, next to the US Post Office.  When you get to the ticket window, present your special event ticket that reads “ESB SKYRIDE”.  You will then receive admission tickets for both the NY SKYRIDE and the Empire State Building Observatory.
