We visited at 10pm - a magical time to go and truly really worth it. Great views all round, different levels to explore and some simple effects added in to enhance your experience.

From the Top of the Rock, the legendary observation deck on the top floor of Rockefeller Center, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Central Park, the Empire State Building and the Hudson River. We were up there on June 5th. Seen from a height of 259 meters in the mild evening light - a dream!

Alexander Fuchs | Sep 26, 2017

There is an entrance fee for the Top of the Rock. For children (6-12) it is 28$, adults 34$, seniors (62+) 32$. You'll get a discount with the NY-pass. Book the tickets in advance so you will for sure get up there.

Is it possible to skip the line by purchasing a online ticket?

Martina Clerici | Sep 26, 2018
Karyn Poslick | Sep 26, 2019

No and don't buy the "sunset" tickets if you want to see the sun set. They don't let you up early and the line takes so long you'll miss it.
