Of all the observation decks in New York this one has by far the best views from the top. The view over Central Park is perfect. Highly recommend if visiting NY. Unlike the Empire State Building, the process to get to the top here is very efficient and slick.

Long queues to get into the Rock, but the express pass got us in and up to the top in minutes. So glad we didn't have to queue otherwise we'd have missed the sunset! Definitely worth the extra investment. Elevator was fast, the view from the top magnificent, if a little busy, especially on the topmost terrace. People rather rude, but that's just humans for you. Ice rink at the bottom was open, a beautiful sight all in all.

The rink is ready and the Christmas market huts are up as well. The holiday season is starting up in the big Apple. I always think of all of the famous movies with the Rockefeller center and rink in many RomCom scenes. The rink and center is animated and packed today. It looks nice even during the day here today.

The views from the top were incredible. It was a gorgeous day with bright sun and was very hot for the time of year. I knew we would see the tree lit up but couldn’t even see the tree as all the scaffolding surrounded it.

Rockefeller Center is a must if you are in the city during Christmas time. Unfortunately the tree wasn’t lit up when I went, but it was still cool to see all of the Christmas decorations and the ice skating rink. Overall, I highly recommend!

The Rockerfeller Plaza is quite grand. Located on Fifth Avenue it is the home to NBC and they have a number of studios where you can watch TV shows being recorded. You can also visit their gift shop and get a souvenir from some of their current shows as well as some from the past. There is also a branch of FAO Schwarz here where you can buy a gift for your younglings. One thing they have is a giant piano on the floor so you can recreate the scene from the movie "Big". Don't forget to take your shoes off! There is a really nice open space outside the front of the building and there is a giant sculpture of Atlas with the weight of the world on his shoulders. It's definitely a place worth checking out for some architectural grandeur.

I’ve been here a few times for different reasons, but this trip I wanted to stop by and see the Christmas tree while it’s still up in early January. It’s absolutely gorgeous! We stopped by later in the evening after seeing a show (and it was raining) so it was pretty cleared out. Definitely a sight to see if you’ve never seen it!

Rockefeller Center is a complex that includes 19 buildings and covers several blocks in Midtown Manhattan with "30 Rock" being the central focus. Built in the 1930s by the Rockefeller family, it is an Art Deco masterpiece. Inside is the NBC studios where the Today Show, NBC Nightly News, Jimmy Fallon, and Saturday Night Live are filmed. Top of the Rock is the observation deck on top of 30 Rock. The views are amazing and while the historic skyscraper is not as famous or as attractive as the Empire State Building, I would argue that the views are better including the incredible unobstructed view of the Empire State Building when looking south. This is also where you fill find iconic Rockefeller Plaza with the outdoor skating rink and Christmas tree during the winter months.

Great experience, we attended On a rainy day not expecting much of a view due to it been a last minute booking. Even with the rain it had amazing views. There are two viewing floors and you can pay extra to do the famous picture, which we didn’t do due to the weather. Accessible for wheelchairs and prams, although the toilets in the Rockefeller tower didn’t have changing facilities for babies as the doors where locked to it and knowbody in site to ask to open. Overall good for the view.

My wife and I walked over to Rockefeller Center from our hotel during our anniversary trip to NYC this past summer. We didn’t take the time to do a tour. We just walked around the plaza area and took in the sights. It was neat to see in person what we have seen on television for years.
