I was disappointed that it hadn't re-opened for climbing yet. We were in the city 3 days late September. I've climbed all up and over it - 2 different visits! It's thrilling and I hope the next time… Full review by SteveAndLisa527

This is worth seeing, if only from outside. I was told it would be re-opening soon as they are in process of constructing safety measures after several people jumped out. It is lovely; my friends wh… Full review by LynnF340

You can check the Hudson Yards website for free reservations. I recommend that you try to book it in advance if you have a particular time/day you'd like go. Otherwise, it can be hit or miss as to how crowded it is and whether you'll be able to get free tickets if you show up and use the kiosks at the Vessel. (The "Flexipass" is the one that costs $10, so if you are looking for free viewing--and no reason not to--then don't choose the Flexipass.)

Given that you'll be arriving within this week, you will have to obtain your tickets there at the kiosk. Expect to enjoy other activities after you've gotten your tickets since more likely than not; your time slot will be several hours later. You've got the beautiful mall in the same complex; TimeSquare not very far, or take the High Line to the Whitney Museum; among other things. Morning hours are less congested but night time is truly special for the sunset and the magnificent night-time views. If you're averse to the heat, nighttime hours are also more comfortable. Enjoy!
