Preview of 1 World Trade Center Observatory

From the top of One World Trade Center, it really does seem as if you can "see forever."

"See forever" is the motto of the center's new observatory that opens May 29, offering spectacular views stretching 50 miles past the Manhattan skyline to the Atlantic Ocean.

But even when the 1,776-foot building disappears into the clouds, there are still plenty of high-tech displays that reflect the optimism of a building and a city that rose from the ruins of the nation's deadliest terror attack.

Visitors will board one of five elevators called 'skypods' that will bring them to the observatory in 60 seconds.
Along with a spectacular view 1,250 feet up, visitors will see a video called 'Voices' about those who built One WTC.

There will also be a virtual time lapse that recreates the development of the New York City skyline and beyond from the 1600s to present day.
And for those afraid of heights, visitors can walk on video screens that show the dizzying view.

The observatory takes up levels 100, 101, and 102 of the building. The main public viewing space is on the 100th floor, with restaurants on the 101st floor, and an event space on the 102nd floor.
Tickets will be $32 for adults and $26 for children ages 6 to 12 and $30 for seniors. Admission will be free for family members of those who died on Sept. 11, as well as those who worked in the rescue and recovery.

Tickets are available at the observatory ticket booth and online.
