Edge at Hudson Yards Unveils Plan to Transform New York City’s Highest Outdoor Sky Deck into a Multi-Sensory Experience with Indoor Immersive Installations

New York’s iconic sky deck introduces new permanent immersive experiences this summer 2026, combining skyline views with interactive indoor environments, developed with globally recognised entertainment and design studios.

London (7 April, 2026) – Edge at Hudson Yards, the highest indoor/outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, announces a complete reimagining of its defining New York City experience, set to debut in summer 2026.

The sweeping, multi-million-dollar transformation will immerse guests in a kaleidoscopic world of light, colour and motion as they ascend 1,100 feet from street level into the Manhattan skyline.

Spanning across the entirety of Edge’s indoor footprint, from the 4th floor entry to 100th floor sky deck, these new permanent installations invite guests on a multi-sensory journey that uniquely evolves from dawn to dusk, shifting across seasons, ensuring every visit reveals something new.

Hudson Yards Experiences, the company responsible for operating and marketing Edge, collaborated with the strategy and experience design team at multidimensional agency Journey, renowned experiential entertainment studio, Moment Factory, and New York City-based design studio, SOFTlab, to design and install next-generation exhibits throughout the space.

From captivating arrival to cinematic ascent, each new space invites guests to linger in an entirely different world, all before stepping onto the most breathtaking outdoor sky deck in New York City, with its thrilling glass floor and angled glass walls that make one feel as if they are suspended in the sky.

The forthcoming installations include:

• Pulse: A fully immersive world of pulsing electric colour, light and sound that distils the city’s intoxicating energy and puts it at your fingertips
• Crystal Cave: A step inside a rainbow of translucent jewels that change colour with the movement of the sun as it rises and sets in the skyline
• Infinite City: Boundless vertical luminous “skyscrapers” that fragment and reframe the city into a hypnotic series of worlds within worlds
• And more to be revealed

This new suite of visually stunning experiences and content will float guests in a sea of prismatic clouds, transitioning from the vibrant colours of a New York City day to a spectacular sunset, and finally diving into the deep abstractions of the city at night before reaching the renowned outdoor sky deck. With an updated focus on cutting-edge design, Edge will surpass its status as an iconic observation deck and become an immersive entertainment experience unlike anything the city has seen before.

Andrew Lustgarten, Executive Chairman of Hudson Yards Experiences, says: “Situated 1,100 feet above one of the greatest cities on earth, Edge at Hudson Yards will transform what it means to be a New York City landmark. Guests will be welcomed into a breathtaking, kaleidoscopic world before they even reach our thrilling outdoor sky deck.

“The new Edge is driven by immersive design, emotional storytelling and our desire to create experiences that people want to share and return to again and again.”

Among the clouds, guests will enjoy a new level of hospitality at Edge’s reimagined indoor and outdoor bars on the 100th floor. Brought to life by the physical design team at Journey, and curated by Tao Group Hospitality, the all-weather eateries offer unique-to-Edge small plates, handcrafted cocktails and signature refreshments at Edge’s Champagne Bar that bring world-class dining and luxury into every moment of the visit.

After a standout inaugural season, Tao Group Hospitality’s seasonal outdoor nightlife experience, Marquee Skydeck, returns 1 May as a permanent fixture. The venue will feature a lineup of premier global talent, including MK, Benny Benassi, Cassian, Gareth Emery, Kaz James, Layla Benitez, Hot Since 82 and many more to come.

With more to be announced in the coming months, Edge will remain open seven days a week ahead of the official debut of its new experiences. Tickets to Edge are available now at www.edgenyc.com.
