Woolworth Building Exclusive Access - Private Tour
From $45 per person
What to Expect
After a six-year pause, tours of the Woolworth Building have resumed, but public access remains otherwise closed. This is the only authorized tour to step inside its legendary lobby and sub-level vault!
Commissioned in 1910 by Frank W. Woolworth and designed by Cass Gilbert, the building opened in 1913 as the tallest in the world, reshaping Lower Manhattan and redefining the American skyscraper.
Beneath soaring 60-foot vaulted ceilings, discover marble walls, mosaic tiles, gold-leaf detailing, and sculptural ornamentation — including hidden likenesses of Woolworth and Gilbert embedded within the architecture.
You’ll also descend to the original vault level, where historic safe deposit boxes remain intact.
Privately managed and otherwise closed to the public, this rare access experience reveals one of New York’s most extraordinary interiors.
