Sobre
Fatos rápidos: The Edge is the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, sitting 1,131 feet above street level. It features a glass floor section that lets you look straight down to the city streets below for a thrilling view.
Destaques: A sharp triangular platform extends over the building's edge by 24 feet, giving a unique sensation of floating above the city. The glass walls angle outward, enhancing panoramic views and making visitors feel even more immersed in the skyline.
Dicas de quem conhece
- Wear comfortable shoes as some standing and walking are required on the platform.
- Bring a camera but be mindful of reflective glass when shooting photos for clearer shots.
- Arrive right before sunset for dynamic lighting and avoid midday glare on the glass floor.
- Check the weather forecast since the experience is best on clear days for unobstructed views.
