The observatory atop the 1,776 - foot World Trade Center at last open up next week . But the view from the tallest building in the US ( for now ) is not the only stunning vista that will recognise visitors .
Although there are plenty of observatory in supertalls , 1 World Trade features some nerveless technical advances that aid orient visitors once they reach the 101st floor . For example , the view is so wholesale that visitors canpick up tabletsinstead of binoculars which help to charge out notable watershed below .
The other two tricks for take in the landscape are actually optic illusions . We ’d previously find out a peek at the lift in the pillar , which play a515 - year timelapse of the citygrowing up and out before your very optic .

And today ’s photograph reveal that there ’s yet another way to see the urban center below . In the lookout , visitor can step out over what looks like a breadbasket - rolling platform that protrude out over the West Side Highway .
But it ’s not athick ice story a la the Willis Tower in Chicago . That ’s simply a video recording screen you ’re take the air on , with a live feed of the ground below .
The WTC lookout station unfold to the world on May 29 . A trip to the top is only $ 32 and there ’s also a steakhouse you may dine at up there — if you pay the admission fee on top of your repast . Perhaps you’re able to prepare for it by walking through theworld ’s most expensive hallwayto get there .
