Top of the Rock: NYC's Best Viewpoint

Located on the 70th floor of Rockefeller Center, right in the heart of the Big Apple, Top of the Rock is one of New York City’s most iconic observation decks. From here, you’ll get breathtaking views of landmarks like Central Park and the Empire State Building.

At 850 feet (260 meters) above ground, the observatory features three terraces facing all four directions, offering unbeatable panoramic views of New York’s skyline. You’ll literally have the city that never sleeps at your feet!

From its viewing platforms, you can capture stunning photos of Lower Manhattan, One World Trade Center, and other iconic spots across the city. It’s the perfect way to see Manhattan like never before.

What’s Included in the VIP Experience

Your VIP ticket gives you access to an exclusive experience. It all starts at the VIP Lounge, which means no waiting in line! You’ll get priority access to the elevators that take you up to the top floors of the Comcast Building, a striking Art Deco skyscraper from 1933 that’s part of the Rockefeller Center complex.

In just 45 seconds, you’ll reach the 67th floor, where a guide will lead you on a 75-minute tour across the three levels of the Top of the Rock Observation Deck. Along the way, you’ll learn about the Rockefeller Center’s history and take in New York’s most impressive views.
