About Empire State Building
The Empire State Building offers a distinctive Midtown Manhattan setting for celebrations, with event experiences tied to its observation decks and dedicated private event spaces.

The building also offers private birthday celebrations with a party room, guided tour, and access to either the 86th Floor or both the 86th and 102nd Floor Observation Decks.
