In my opinion, Top of the rock is the most beautiful observation deck in New York. If you come at 4 pm you have a chance to see the city at dawn and at dusk! The view is breathtaking. In addition, a ride in the high-speed elevator to the 67th floor is an additional experience worth experiencing ! I recommend because to be in NYC and not see it is like not being there !

All of the views! As a native New Yorker I got to see NYC as a tourist and fell in love with the city. I needed a reminder of how spectacular NYC is.

I had trouble booking through the official website due to multiple error messages. So, I switched to New York Tickets, and the process was much easier and cheaper. I highly recommend using New York Tickets.

It was my first time flying. This was on my bucket list. I flew with my son. It was a beautiful experience. The flight was very smooth. The pilot played us music that made the experience even better. The staff are very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend it.

Top of the Rock Observation Deck

Ascend to the Top of the Rock in the Sky Shuttle, which is worth every bit of adrenaline! Reach the observation decks, and enjoy the unobstructed, sweeping views of NYC's iconic skyline.
