It is located in the Rockefeller Center, real state development also in the heart of Manhattan, where you can see the iconic Christmas tree and ice skating rink every year, in addition to NBC studios, shops, and restaurants. Top of the Rock has one of the most iconic and privileged views of the city because it faces the Empire State Building. It is the perfect observatory for anyone looking for nothing less than a classic, perfect view.
The observatory – there are three levels of observation decks to explore at Top of the Rock. The first deck includes the Radiance Wall and the gift shop. The second, featuring the Breezeway, is entirely outdoors, glass-enclosed. The third observation deck, located on the 70th-floor open-air roof deck, is completely outdoors and free of a glass enclosure, making it perfect for photos – but it’s also smaller.
The experience – as it is an observatory with two levels, one with glass protection and the other completely open, the experience is much more intense and exciting. It is one of the most beautiful places to contemplate the sunset in the city – of course, it is also very popular. It is worth remembering that there are no “extras” such as exhibitions or anything like that, as happens at the Empire State. But Top of the Rock delivers what it promises – a privileged place to contemplate New York City from above. In addition, it also has a beautiful view of Central Park.
The Bean - this cool new experience, which opened in December, climbs 12 feet above the observatory, rotating to give visitors unbeatable sights of Central Park and beyond. The Beam recreates “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper” — the famous 1932 photo of 11 ironworkers eating lunch 850 feet in the air during the construction of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Tickets for The Beam can be added to General Admission and Express Pass tickets for $25 while the experience is included in the VIP Pass. Include a digital photo.
