I'm being a typical tourist and want to go on the 86th Floor Observatory "tour". Does anyone know how much time I should put aside for this. I'm going on a Wednesday or Thursday in July if that makes a difference. Thanks.

It sort of depends on what time of day you go and whether you want to pay for express tickets or not. I'd reserve two hours from entrance to exit.

I'd also plan to go earlier in the day rather than later....better to beat the crowds than join them.

Different thought -- go to the top of the RCA/GE building instead. You get a great view of the city, the park and the Empire State Building. And smaller crowds.

Smaller crowds -- NOT!
