Four tiers, and the difference that matters is not the food credit. It is that only the All-Inclusive ticket lets you arrive whenever you like. Standard and Combination are bound to the time printed on the ticket, and late arrivals are fitted in only if there is room.
| Tier | From | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $44 | Floors 100, 101 and 102. Fixed time slot. |
| Combination | $54 | Priority security, elevator and exit lanes, digital guide, $5 credit. |
| All-Inclusive | $64 | $15 credit and arrive any time on your day. |
| VIP Tour | $74 | Escorted entry and a 60-minute guided tour. |
All are starting prices and move by date. Add $3.50 processing per ticket plus tax. Tickets are non-refundable, though on genuinely poor-visibility days the observatory has issued 14-day vouchers.
Open daily 9am to 9pm, no closing day. Allow 45 minutes to an hour. After 8pm there is a Late Night package at half price, and groups of four or more get 20% off.

Sammie O publishes Germ Trips, a travel guide covering hotels, restaurants, airport transfers and chauffeur services. The guides aim for practical detail and a clear recommendation rather than an undifferentiated list. Where a town has no good option, the guides say so and point to the nearest one that does. Guides are AI drafted. A small number have been checked against official listings, and those say so on the page.
