Top of the Rock Observation Deck New York City Tour

Top of the Rock is one of several observation decks and top things to do in New York City. Located at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in Midtown Manhattan, it boasts a three-level indoor and outdoor 360 degree unobstructed viewing experience of NYC with terraces facing north, south, east and west. While the building opened in 1933, the observation deck didn't open until 2005. Let us be your travel guides as we give you a tour of this popular attraction where you'll get great views of the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, Central Park, Hudson Yards, One World Trade Center, and more. You can even see the Statue of Liberty in the distance. If you're looking for one of the best views in Manhattan and dislike the typical crowding, this observation deck is definitely one of the least crowded, although be wary of coming to Rockefeller Center during Christmas.

Yes I visited "Top Of The Rock" in 2010 when I went to New York with my Best Friend and her Husband to celebrate my 50th birthday 🎈🎂🎈 on 31st October (Halloween 👻🎃👻).
The lift up is extremely fast and you leave your stomach It was a beautiful sunny 😎 day; and although I don't like heights I was very brave and went up to the top observation deck, the views are just amazing. It was truly the holiday of a lifetime and one I'll never

As a NYS resident (upstate) it shames me to say I've never been... your video has encouraged me to go!

This is amazing and to the point! We visited NYC in 2008, but didn’t go here, instead visited the Empire State Building . The 360’ view is amazing, I bet the Central Park will be stunning during fall season. It’s great to hear that it’s less crowded compared to other observatory decks! Great video 👍

We missed so much when we visited NYC in 2018. Can't wait to go back.

Amazing review. Yes you're correct it's absolutely BANANAS during the holidays.

Yes top of the rock is t he best place to get a 360 view of Manhattan for sure and it's worth it since there are no wall or glass in the view. It's one of the best place to take nice skyline pictures. There is a some walking you have to do inside the building since it's pretty huge. Also take a jacket with you all the time since NY weather changes very fast.

It has been many years since I've seen views like that! Fantastic! Bruce and Otis

[GladysandKenny]

When we go back to NY we will be exploring and visit places we have never visited! Great video!!

Been to top of the rock a long time ago. I remember trying to look down at the streets to see how small the cars look

[jankaant]

Nice video ! Very detailed description .

[karnsandhu]

Love your videos. Keep 'em coming.

[RobThielemann]

TOtR is the best! Manhattan hasn’t built up super skyscrapers close enough to block any views. It is well worth it. Truly.

[Prppie]

I love this video! I have a question: if we go up to level 69 or 70, can we still go back down to levels 69 or 67?

[miked]

Thank you for this. Going iin early June. Is the express pass worth or necessary? I really don't like wait times (30min+)

[fitnesschefen]

should you go at evening when its dark or daytime? what is best?

[IlIllllIlIIIIllI]

What time would be perfect to see the sunset in February?

[Nihilanth]

Went at night and took a panoramic picture of the skyline lit like a Christmas tree, best picture I taken out of the hundreds in nyc. Objectively the best view, better than the one with mirrors in the room.
