This qualifies as the most beautiful building in NYC --- from the outside. The lobby security kept me from even seeing the gorgeous interiors. CHECK , if you want to view the lobby.Full review by giannih2014

I’m a big fan of the Art Deco architectural style, so was really excited to see the lobby of the Chrysler Building - and it didn’t disappoint! It’s free to enter, you can’t go anywhere else in the bu…Full review by Gioia R

Long term dream to gaze up at the Building and explore the foyer, I wasn't disappointed. Gleaming at it, I couldn't have ask for better weather to accentuate the colors.Full review by ralf s
There is no viewing deck at the Chrysler building; currently, the best panorama of the New York City skyline is The Top of the Rock at Rockefeller center high above the skating rink; it costs around $28 dollars for adults to stay as long as they want; it is without question the best view in New York........

The viewing deck at the Chrysler Building has been closed for decades, so get your Manhattan views either at 30 Rock or the Empire State, or the magnificent One World Trade observatory downtown. BUT, don't miss the Chrysler Bldg...the others are just high views; this building is pure art, like nothing else in the world. The very coolest introduction to it is a short old BBC Documentary hosted by actor John Malkovich. It online on YouTube. Search for BBC documentary, Chrysler Bldg, Malkovich. You'll see the unforgettable lobby with its 30 elevators, the largest ceiling mural in the world (for its time), and the decor that was the absolute peak of the Art Deco style. Malcovich takes you up to the top, and you see the world famous eagle-headed gargoyles up close, and the original private quarters of Mr. Chrysler. Wildest of all, there is old film of the architect wearing a hat in the shape of the famous spire of the building at the opening celebration in 1929/30, and a group of dancers dressed as "Machine Men" prancing around the parapets. Best of all, you'll see the absolutely stunning array of pointed windows culminating in the sharp spire...with great shots of it all, by day and by night.
Is their a ticket which covers the viewing platform and a meal in the centre.

Bear in mind that any building you go up will not have that building in the view, so I would recommend going up the rock or one world, as you'll want the Chrysler or the empire state in your view. And eat somewhere else entirely as you'll be paying well over the odds at any of those buildings.

Admission to the Chrysler Building is free, but only to the lobby because the building is used for business - it's not just a tourist attraction. The art deco is amazing and worth the trip, especially if you're in the vicinity.
Hi, Curious to those who mentioned going to the top - how do we go about getting tickets? We'll be there in late September? Thanks in advance, Lisa

Sadly you can only go into the lobby as it is a working building. The lobby, however, should not be missed. It is a truly spectacular example of Art Deco design, the Jazz Age at its finest. You can see the beautiful mural on the ceiling, the clock and the beautiful elevators, each with their own custom design on the doors. The lobby is open Monday through Friday, from 8am to 6pm. The nearest subway is the 4, 5 and 6 trains at 42nd Street Grand Central.
