The Empire state building is a 102 story skyscraper in New York City, for more than 40 years it was the tallest building in the world. And has become the tallest building in the world again due to the attack on September 11th, which destroyed the previously tallest, The Trade Center's North Tower.Be sure to be quite as we take a walk through the building, it is very large so stay close to your partner!
Why are we visiting this building you might ask? Well, first of all this building is a National Historical Landmark. The shape is built to resemble a pencil with it's point upward. As well, this is the largest building in the world, making a historical first at the height of 1,250 feet from the ground to the tip!
When we take a tour inside, we will see mainly business offices. Many of which are for rent! People do not live in the building, but it is a tourist attraction and offers views from the 86th and 102nd floors.
Here is an image of inside the Empire State Building, of the main entrance with two large American flags!Since we are visiting Ellis Island next, we are going to be taking another taxi to the dock where we will then catch the ferry, which you will all enjoy :)
