Do you know what can be a unique and exciting experience in New York City? Let us introduce you to The Vessel, a stunning giant puzzle of staircases, offering breathtaking views and endless fun. Picture yourself climbing its twisting pathways, soaking in panoramic scenes of Manhattan, and feeling like you’re on top of the world! Whether you’re here during the vibrant summer season or as part of our amazing summer school programs, The Vessel is more than just a destination—it’s an adventure waiting to happen.

What is The Vessel?

The Vessel is like a giant honeycomb but made of staircases! Located in Hudson Yards, one of the newest and most stylish areas in New York City, this towering structure stands 150 feet tall (that’s as tall as a 16-story building). It’s not just something to look at; it’s something to experience. With 154 interconnecting staircases, 80 landings, and over 2,500 steps, The Vessel is like a giant playground for anyone who loves adventure.

When you climb The Vessel, you get breathtaking views of the Hudson River, Manhattan’s skyscrapers, and the hustle and bustle of the city below. It’s perfect for snapping photos, relaxing at the top, or simply soaking in the beauty of New York City.

What Makes The Vessel Special?

You might think, “It’s just a lot of stairs, right?” Well, not quite! The Vessel is more than a staircase—it’s an experience. Here’s why it’s so special:

1. It’s Interactive

Unlike a museum where you look at art, The Vessel lets you be the art! As you climb up and down the staircases, you become part of the structure. Each landing gives you a new perspective, making every step feel like a little adventure.

2. Stunning Design

Designed by British architect Thomas Heatherwick, The Vessel’s copper-coloured steel gives it a shiny, futuristic look. At night, it lights up beautifully, creating a magical atmosphere.
