Clean signage and open interior at OWO entry

Flow

  1. Ticketing/Security → staff manage queues; keep small items together.
  2. SkyPod Ascent → cinematic intro to the skyline.
  3. Exhibits → City Pulse and Sky Portal for context and fun.
  4. Main Observatory → windows loop by orientation; optional lounge/dining.

Wayfinding Cues

  • Follow clear signage; staff can point you to highlights.
  • Ask about City Pulse timings to catch a full segment.

Tip: Take one slow lap clockwise, then a quick second lap for any missed angles.
