Time Out says

Go all the way up to see the solar eclipse at One World Observatory, the highest observation deck in the Western Hemisphere. They're planning to offer an exclusive Solar Eclipse package.

The event will include a designated entrance for those who purchase the solar eclipse package. Limited One World Observatory solar eclipse glasses will be provided, plus you'll get a complimentary drink and some goodies to take home. Activities and photo-ops will be available on the observatory deck throughout the duration of the eclipse.

How much are tickets? 

Tickets cost $94 for adults, $92 for seniors, and $88 for children.

When is the total solar eclipse?

The total solar eclipse is on Monday, April 8, 2024. In terms of exact timing, totality varies from place to place. For New York City, we’ll be able to see the Moon cover up to 90 percent of the Sun at 3:20pm, per the American Museum of Natural History. As for the Buffalo area, the partial eclipse will begin around 2:04pm, with totality running from 3:18pm-3:22pm. NASA's got a chart with exact timings here.

The next time a solar eclipse with grace the skies over the continental U.S. is 2044, but the next time you'll see a total solar eclipse in New York will be 2079. That's why you really don't want to miss it.
