Since OUE Skyspace LA is the tallest observation deck in the city, you can enjoy an unbeatable, 360-degree panorama across Los Angeles. You can learn all about LA on the interactive displays, visit indoor and outdoor viewing decks, and check out the time-lapse animation on your ride up.
To visit Skyspace, plan to prebook tickets online or try your luck with same-day entry. General admission offers timed entry to the decks, while upgraded tickets include extra perks like complimentary drinks, a Skyslide ride—that whisks you down an all-glass surface to the 69th floor—plus gift shop discounts. You can stop by after an architecture tour, or visit while exploring the sights around Pershing Square.
*Time your visit carefully to avoid hazy weather, which makes for lackluster views. *Download the Skyspace app to enjoy an augmented reality experience, plus special offers. *The attraction is wheelchair-accessible, and even the Skyslide can accommodate visitors in wheelchairs.
Located in the US Bank Building in Downtown Los Angeles, you can always drive to OUE Skyspace LA, though expect to pay for parking; Westlawn Parking Garage offers discounts with validation. You can also avoid the hassle of driving if you take the metro. The purple and red lines run to nearby Pershing Square.
It's best to visit OUE Skyspace LA when the sky is clear, and the sun's shining. Since winter in LA may bring rain, and summer can be hazy, plan to visit in the late spring to enjoy clear skies. Though daytime visits offer the best views, Skyspace Nights—the venue's ticketed weekend happening—means drink specials, great views, and DJs spinning live tunes.
