Everything was amazing: the view around the Rockefeller Center, the up and down with the elevators ... it was simple overwhelming!

Once I got there the views were amazing and it was such a clear day which I admit I wasn't really expecting. Would have perhaps needed a bit of snow on the rooftops to get perhaps more impressive photos. I am going to try and get at least one of the photos framed or made into canvas pictures.

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.

Experience the Top of the Rock Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center, a historic site that has been a defining feature of New York City since the 1930s. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the city from three levels of observation decks, including the open-air space on the 70th floor, which stands at 850 feet. This attraction is an essential stop for anyone wanting to capture the iconic skyline and learn about the city's architectural heritage.

Observation decks and attractions

The experience begins on the 67th floor, where visitors can explore interactive exhibits and stunning indoor views. On the 69th floor, additional indoor viewing areas provide comfort while still showcasing impressive sights through large glass windows. The highlight is the 70th floor’s open-air deck, offering an unobstructed 360-degree perspective of New York City’s landmarks, including Central Park, the Empire State Building, and the Statue of Liberty.

VIP Pass benefits

For an enhanced visit, consider upgrading to the VIP Pass. This option includes a guided tour, expedited entry, and access to exclusive experiences such as the private Skylift and the Beam. Guests can also enjoy a complimentary champagne toast at the Weather Room (21+).
