NEW YORK, June 16, 2016 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

   -- Free, Innovative Observatory Experience App and Free Wi-Fi Now Available

The Empire State Building (ESB) Observatory today announced the launch of its

official Empire State Building Observatory Experience App, which guides

visitors through the icon's extraordinary exhibits and views with additional

in-depth information on the building's history. Created by industry leader

Antenna International, the free app is available via the Apple Store (

(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.esbnyc.engtour&hl=en ) and

to each guest upon admittance to the World's Most Famous Building.

As guests travel through the building, the app is designed to ensure visitor

engagement for the entirety of their experience, becoming an audio and visual

companion for four specific areas: the Sustainability Exhibit, the "Dare to

Dream" Exhibit about the history and construction of the building, and the

world-famous 86th and 102nd floor Observatories. Additionally, videos, image

galleries, quizzes, and an "Info" section with maps showing points of interest,

give the user an all-access pass to ESB and its position in pop culture and the

world. The app is available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Mandarin,

Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and German.

"We are expanding upon the already unforgettable experience of visiting our

world-famous Observatory by offering our millions of visitors from around the

world access to our audio tour through their personal devices and free Wi-Fi,"

said Anthony E. Malkin, Chairman and CEO of Empire State Realty Trust, Inc.
