This place is always worth a visit anytime during the year. The center garden display is always updated. a new art exhibit may be there. The farmer’s market during the summer is a treat. The festive time to go is during Christmas for the huge 🌲 tree scene!
MoreNearly 850 feet above street level, occupying the 67th, 69th, and 70th floors, Top of the Rock offers extraordinary 360- degree views. From the observation decks, visitors see the Empire State Building from close up, the whole of Central Park, and even the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge.
• When the RCA Building (now known as 30 Rock) opened in 1933, the observation deck was the first attraction to open to the public.
• Inspired by a luxury cruise liner, it had Adirondack chairs, potted evergreens, and an outdoor refreshment bar to go with the knockout vista — and it became a sensation, drawing 1,300 visitors a day.
• The deck was closed in 1986, and after extensive refurbishing inside and out, reopened as Top of the Rock on November 1, 2005.
• Famous faces have been spotted on the rooftop of 30 Rock over the years… From the early days, you can see Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly singing "New York, New York" in 1949's On the Town. Jimmy Fallon, Jon Hamm, Cameron Diaz, and U2 have all taken in the views.
• When designs for Rockefeller Center were first unveiled, the influential critic and historian Lewis Mumford said they were “bad with an almost juvenile badness.” Yet, as the project neared completion it became increasingly popular with the public, prompting Ira Gershwin to pen “They all laughed at Rockefeller Center, now they’re fighting to get in…Ha, ha, ha! Who’s got the last laugh now?”
• Rockefeller Center received NYC Landmark status in 1985 and was recognized as a National Historic Landmark in 1987.

i had the opportunity to visit the Top of the Rock observatory in Christmas of 2019.the views from the observation deck are excellent and offers spectacular views of Midtown Manhattan, Central Park, and the Empire State Building. A particular treat for those visiting in Christmas is the iconic Rockefeller Christmas tree and the ice rink (though the crowds can get pretty overwhelming).
A nice plaza and open space. In the winter months, there's a skating rink and a lovely Christmas tree. It's also the site of the Today show!
The scenery is very good, the suggestion to bring children is to buy the expensive one without queues, otherwise it will take a long time to queue up for tickets...
The scenery in Rockefeller Center is still very good, tickets must buy that line-free, otherwise it will have to be queued for a long time.
There are outdoor sightseeing places, you can take pictures without glass. It is recommended to go to the scene as soon as possible after purchasing to determine the time of sightseeing. I bought it last time and went to say that the evening was sold out. I could only go upstairs at night and lost the opportunity to watch the sunset.
Not bad. Not bad.
It's good to go up to see the night view
