Building with a 360° panoramic veranda on the 70th floor with a dazzling view of New York and Central Park.
Fly to the 70th floor of Rockefeller Center for a memorable experience: from the panoramic veranda (360 degrees), the view of New York and Central Park dominated by the silhouettes of the buildings is dazzling! Certainly one of the most beautiful panoramas of the city, at least as much as the one from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building, but without the crowd, as tourists often prefer to climb to the top of its rival. However, from the Top of the Rock observatory, you will have the best view possible... on the Empire State Building!

Members' reviews on TOP OF THE ROCK

Overall very well staffed with an easy to navigate layout.
Tickets can be purchased online ahead of time or on the day. There is a small wooden booth out the front of the rockfella centre. April 2024 it was a light orange colour. Or you can also purchase inside.
The entrance is around the side of the rock, not in the actual building. The entrance is next to the NBC entrance, not heavily signposted or directed so maybe a sign or two out the front or on the lamps could help people find their way.
The experience going up and at the viewing platforms was very enjoyable. The glass was extremely clear and clean. Elevators going up were nicely kept. Staff were interactive, friendly and welcoming. But not pushy, nor overbearing.
I think you can pretty much do with just the general admission, you can pay to do “the beam” also but from what we saw of it, more of a gimmick and not necessarily an addition to any view. :)
