General

The Top of the Rock is an iconic observation deck located at the top of the Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan. It offers breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of the New York City skyline from its three observation levels on the 67th, 69th, and 70th floors.

The Observatory

The main draw is the 70th floor outdoor observation deck, which provides unobstructed, open-air views of famous landmarks like the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the Brooklyn Bridge. The 67th and 69th floors have indoor observation decks with floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

The Experience

• Immersive multimedia exhibits showcase the history and construction of the Rockefeller Center.

• The "Beam Walk" lets you virtually experience the daring work of the ironworkers who built the skyscraper.

• The "Sky Shuttle" elevator ride simulates a vertical journey through the city with multimedia displays.

• Dining options include the Rock Cafe and the highest rooftop restaurant in the city.

Tips

• Purchase tickets in advance online to skip the ticket lines.

• Visit in the evening to catch stunning sunset views and city lights.

• Dress warmly, as it can get windy on the outdoor observation deck.

• Arrive early or late to avoid peak crowds and long lines.
