Top of The Rock Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Nearly 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.

the view from up there is amazing it is so so gorgeous I just wanted to sit up there all night and look at the view but I'm scared of height so I was kind of scared thank
You will really enjoyed the sunset views. Mostly peoples in the sunset time slot paid for the experience and instead of everyone getting their photos and stepping back to let others see many people just camped out in front of the glass making it difficult to take in the full views.
This is my first time coming here. Before, I was very excited and looking forward to trying this place once. It really didn't disappoint me because it was so beautiful and fun. Truly unforgettable, this place will forever impress me. The people here are very friendly and sociable, which is very valuable. I love this place and hope to come back many times in the future. Thanks a lot!!!
I'll never forget that feeling of being on top of the world, surrounded by the energy of New York City. Top of the Rock truly exceeded all my expectations, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in the Big Apple.
Tips: you could see central park much more clear from the top compared to Empire State.Be aware do not go there during peak season because it’s so crowded and will not get any chance to take a photo properly.
Top of The Rock offers breathtaking views of NYC skyline. The observation decks provide stunning photo opportunities, and the interactive displays add to the experience. With shorter lines compared to other attractions, it's a must-visit for panoramic vistas of the city.
Nice view of the sunset. The reception was well coordinated as well. I waited for maybe 15 min or so, it's not bad at all for a sunset time (4:20 pm in January).Very nice view from the very top of the building (you can go all the way to the highest rooftop possible).
