Edge at Hudson Yards, the highest indoor/outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, has announced 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, color and motion as they ascend 1,100 feet from street level into the Manhattan skyline. Spanning the entirety of Edge’s indoor footprint, from the 4th floor entry to the 100th floor sky deck, the 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.
The forthcoming installations include Pulse, a fully immersive world of pulsing electric color, light and sound that distills the city’s intoxicating energy; Crystal Cave, a step inside a rainbow of translucent jewels that change color with the movement of the sun as it rises and sets in the skyline; and Infinite City, boundless vertical luminous “skyscrapers” that fragment and reframe the city into a hypnotic series of worlds within worlds, with more to be revealed.
The new suite of visually stunning experiences will float guests in a sea of prismatic clouds, transitioning from the vibrant colors 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.
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, bringing 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 May 1 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.
Edge will remain open seven days a week ahead of the official debut of its new experiences, with more announcements expected in the coming months. Tickets are available now at www.edgenyc.com.
