As of today, Edge has completely transformed its indoor spaces into a stunning, light-filled immersive experience.
It is the biggest makeover the iconic spot has seen since it opened in 2020.

Created alongside powerhouse design studios Moment Factory, SOFTlab, and Journey, this multi-million-dollar upgrade brings the magic of the New York City skyline indoors.
The environments actually respond to your movement and shift with the time of day and seasons, meaning no two visits will ever look the same!
Stepping into a kaleidoscopic dream
Before you even step outside to test your nerves on the transparent glass floor, you will journey through seven brand-new, all-weather installations.
Here is what you can expect as you make your way up to Level 100:
- PRISM: Begin your journey on Level 4 by walking through a dynamic prism that refracts iconic NYC imagery into shifting colors and patterns.
- PULSE: An interactive light room where 450 glowing orbs respond to your movement with pulses of electric color.
- SKYRISE: A cinematic elevator ride that simulates soaring 100 floors above Manhattan in less than 60 seconds.
- REFLECTIONS: A two-level space packed with 200 spinning mirrored panels that track your steps and trigger custom light shows.
- KALEIDOSCOPE: The main event features NYC’s largest kaleidoscope. This massive room has four interactive zones where light, color, and original music constantly shift around you.
- CRYSTAL CAVE: Walk beneath a 25-foot canopy of oversized, glowing crystals that scatter rainbows across the floor during the day and host striking light shows after dark.
- INFINITE CITY: Explore 18 massive illuminated columns that reflect the skyline and respond to your presence with waves of color and sound.
Bites, beats, and breathtaking views
Once you finally make it to the top, the experience shifts from visual wonder to world-class hospitality.

And if you are looking to dance above the clouds, the Marquee Skydeck is back with an outdoor nightlife series featuring top-tier DJs.
The celebration kicks off today, and runs through the weekend with live entertainment, DJs, and giveaways.
You can grab your tickets right here to be among the first to see it.
