Nestled at the height of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, Top of the Rock’s three levels of indoor and outdoor observation decks deliver spectacular, unobstructed views of the city skyline. With terraces facing east, west, north, and south, Top of the Rock’s panoramic sights make it the ultimate observation deck in NYC.

Explore 9,500 square feet of unobstructed outdoor viewing space, the most of any New York observatory. Soaring 70 floors above Rockefeller Centre, it’s one of the top things to do in New York City. Your adventure starts in the newly reimagined Welcome Gallery, a space where you can capture memories with photo opportunities at iconic Rockefeller Center locations, and marvel at a dynamic 10-foot model of the entire campus. From there, enjoy a multisensory film that brings the history and vision of this beloved landmark to life, before stepping into the high-speed elevator for a thrilling 43-second ride to the 67th floor to top off your visit with breathtaking views from the completely open-air deck on the 70th-floor of Central Park, Empire State Building, One World Trade Center and downtown Manhattan.

Beam Combo: See the best NYC view from 70 floors up at our indoor and outdoor observation decks and be lifted 12 feet above the deck to recreate the iconic "Lunch atop a Skyscraper" photo with the Beam Experience. Guests must be a minimum of 42 inches (~107 cm) to ride the Beam.

SKYLIFT Combo: Explore the three tiers of indoor and outdoor viewing platforms at Top of the Rock, then elevate your experience even further on an open-air lift. This remarkable contraption hoists you almost 30 feet above the 70th floor, offering unparalleled, sweeping vistas of New York City.
