Top of the Rock at Rockerfeller Center was definitely worth going to. The view was amazing. I recommend doing this during the day, the Empire State at night!
Super cool venue for a show... we had great seats & there is constant action from all sides of the auditorium.
Memories like never before. Get out and visit here you will love it.
This place is amazing. The views from the top of the rocks are incredible. You can see the Empire state building, statue of liberty along with 360degree views of NYC. Can buy tickets online one day in advance looking at the weather. I have also visited the Empire state building and will definitely recommend this one for the views !
I ve been here a million times during the summer, fall, winter and spring and every time it s pretty and packed with tourists. Rockefeller Plaza never gets old. During the winter the ice skating rink opens and it s so much fun ice skating here. And in summer months you can have a nice meal in middle of the plaza. The best time to visit is during Christmas to see the beautiful Christmas tree.
Cool place, but wayyy too many people. Guess I can t expect anything else in New York on christmas.
Historically significant. Beautiful buildings. The famous Christmas tree
Great view of NYC, especially at night! I went here instead of Empire state building as it is cheaper, less busy and you get a view of the Empire state building which is a famous view that you can't get going up the Empire state building.
It s a must visit place in New York City. All sides of Rockefeller center is a tourist attraction spot. Just towards the fifth avenue is sacks fifth avenue where you can watch light show over the building with the beautiful lights through December. It ll begin from second week of November till first week of January. You can use restroom at the basement of Rockefeller building.
Rather than going to the other taller buildings it best to go to the top of this building. Download the view finder app which helps you understand , which building are you looking at. The best view is That sunset, the show at 5.30 pm .
It was nice. For a Sunday it was empty and a good way to walk around the stores. Good and fun. A nice farmshelf display.
What an amazing place for tourist and new Yorkers all together . The tree always amazes my daughter and my husband , its beautiful...its crowded but who cares its amazing .
It's a great landmark to one of America's industry baron. Easily accessible from Saks Fifth Avenue. And it reminds me of the memorable mother & son scene from Home Alone in New York
Easy to see and this place us beautiful! There is every store you could want right here and tons of places to eat & drink. I highly recommend visiting. It is well cared for and kept perfectly clean.
Been doing this since a kid always a beautiful experience
Lovely center for walking around. Lots of shops. Every corner gives another view. You can spend hours here.
It would be a dream come true to work here! Got to see Saturday Night Live which was a dream come true. The building is black and gold and I am obsessed with those colors. staff is very professional and the place is very clean. In the basement there are different shops and food places to eat.
Beautiful place, wish there were more options for places to eat though
Views were spectacular! Place is awesome! Very much a hassle to get up to the top. Have to wait for your turn then have to go through another line then you have to go through a picture spot then through the history of the Rockefeller center before even getting on elevator to go up.
You can take nice pictures and have fun with the family.
Amazing I'm speechless about NY NIGHT LIFE is spectacular
My office is across the street from Rock Center, and I consider myself lucky to have to walk through it as I leave the subway. This place is an architectural and historic gem, with nooks and crannies and hallways and arches and murals and staircases that make you stop and pay attention. Read a little about the history of the building before you walk in- it will make your visit so much better. You can shop there, eat there, ice skate there, hang out there- it s one of the great, classic sites in NYC. Not to be missed.
A picturesque view of 5th Avenue.. which transform its self in the summer from that of winter.. great architectural work on buildings.. The famous NBC studio is there..
I visited when the ice skating rink was first open in mid October and it was simply stunning at night. Everything I pictured in my head that it would be. The crowds were minimal so I was able to walk around easily, enjoy my hot coffee from the food truck, and take tons of pictures. Visiting during the day will obviously involve more crowds and more navigating but overall this was an amazing experience that you shouldn t miss in the City!
Great view from the observation deck. Killed some time in the Rockefeller Cafe before going up. Beers were $8 and menu was pretty pricey but a nice place. It probably took 20 minutes to get to the top from the time we lined up at the bottom. Overall we were glad we went to the top of the rock.
Such a beautiful place to visit during the holidays
Went to top of the rock. Great view . Use NYcitypass or c3 for attractions. Save up to 40percent. Go straight to top deck. There is 3 level on top. Dont waste your time in glass walled level . Open till midnight. Go around 10.30 would be fine
Magic for my little girl. Perfect way to cap off our trip.
Amazing every year this year was extra special I loved it the light show was beautiful.
What a historic man he is, legend. Golden statue, plenty of flags around, tourism at it's best. NY at it's best, I recommend you guys go there and take a lot of pictures, worth going there without a doubt.
Very crowded during the holiday season. If you plan to come before Christmas to do anything in this area be prepared to have an escape route to 5th avenue. Not for the ones who are afraid of small spaces
The rink was a lot smaller than I thought it was. The toy store, Lego store , Starbucks ,Nintendo ,nba store are all here or nearby. I'm glad I took time out of my day to visit this place. I did not go ice skating although I could have. The price is a bit much I thought. The decorations during Christmas time are excellent and so is the experience. It's easy walking distance from time square.
Everything you've always imagined it would be! And more!!! From the iconic sculpture overlooking the crystal clear ice rink; to the massive skyscraper looming overhead, there's a lot to do and see! While here, go inside and find your way over to NBC Studios Store where you can not only purchase some really cool "swag", but, you can take a tour of the NBC Studios! I'm not going to give away all the secrets of the tour, but, I will say this! IT SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF YOUR ITINERARY WHILE IN NYC!!!! Best spent $30 the entire time we were visiting!!!
It's amazing place....great view and looked very luxury. You can play ice skating also here
Sophisticated area situated behind Times Square with Mulberry, Kate Spade, Tiffany's and even a flag ship Lego store! Oh and how could I forget the ice rink!
We decided to go to Top of the Rock instead of the Empire State and we were not disappointed. The amazing views you can see are jaw-dropping. The minus zero degree wind chill couldnt stop us from spending 30 minutes admiring this wonderful city.
I've been to this place so many times and I still can't get enough of it. Love the restaurants around.
Crowded, cold and was raining. Despite all that, it was beautiful and an experience everyone can enjoy. The ice rink was a nice touch.
I visited this center many times in the past mostly during the holiday season. It is a national historical landmark in the heart of New York City and it is a big tourist attraction. You can read much about it on the center's website and many New York City visitors online information outlets. My experience has always been positive when visiting the center. It is safe to visit even so it is one of the most crowded tourist areas in the city due to the abundant presence of security and police department personnel. Also, the fluidity of moving the many visitors through congested sections has been improving over the years. One issue I noted during the 2018 holiday season is that they licensed food trucks to be present in the middle of the alleyway over looking the skating rink. That created more congestion on my opinion and block the views of some nice decorations. Otherwise, it always a delight for me to be there and visit many of the outlets you can see on the center website.
Beautiful place. Great veiw and tons to do or eat around the place.
We visited around NYE time and it was great. Lots of people, beautifully decorated and such a great place all around. The place is very clean despite the millions of visitors it gets. There are clean bathrooms accessible inside the building and the skating rink was great despite the long lines and steep prices. A great place to visit.
It's a must see if you are in NY visiting. Iconic. But still there are fun stores and eateries to experience.
Fun place to shop or just look around. Iconic and beautiful. Low parts flood a little when it rains so watch your shoes!
Place was stuffed with people, but that's what you get the night before New Years Eve. I love this place. It is a homey place that makes you kinda forget you are in the middle of a big city. We will definitely be back, just not right before New Years Eve.
It's a beautiful place but the city took down the Christmas tree a week before the advertised date and that was one of the big things my wife wanted to see during our vacation there.
Good place to see view all of New York. Does get busy on observatory towers and also when you get to the top, just remember it has two more levels you can access by stairs
It's a good place from where the skyline of NY Central can be seen and Enjoyed
There are so many beautiful photos of the Empire State Building taken from Top of the Rock but even they don't do justice to the real, breathtaking view. The top floor is outside and doesn't have any glass, so it's perfect for photos. Just remember to look up from your camera for a while!
I visited the Rockefeller center on my way to the Top of the Rock. The plaza in front of the center is amazingly decorated with flags from around the world and there is also a restaurant. Great place to hang out.
Rockefeller center is a nice place some what smaller than what I pictured. Very beautiful but also very crowded. I can't imagine living in a area so congested. The New Yorkers were very friendly and helpful. There was security every where. God bless the men and women of the NYPD for the jobs they do. I think it is a nice place to visit, especially this time of year.
Beautiful place to visit with many shops and restaurants. Very special during holidays because of the beautiful decoration.
Beautiful view from the top of Rockefeller Tower. It is a busy location so we were happy we decided to go first thing in the morning but I bet the sunset/nighttime view is beautiful.
Always fun to check out. It s beautiful in winter with the Christmas tree and ice skating rink, but also very nice in the summer to sit outside and relax or eat lunch. Definitely worth checking out at least once.
The Rockefeller ice rink was amazing. I do have to say it would've been probably more difficult and colder if we hadn't gotten VIP tickets... they get you on the ice pretty quick and you can shop or sit down stairs in the basement. One *BIG TIP* if you are planning on skating for more than an hour, or even on skating for that matter, wear thick socks, the skates are not forgiving!!! Really, the skates tore up my feet because I was wearing thin socks. It will save your trip if you plan to do this at the begining!! Have fun!
Nice place for tourism and depending on the season there are different events and restaurants to enjoy yourself. It's wheelchair accessible and a nice place to hang out. Love it!
Great location lots to see. Shops such as Tiffany s. Places to eat and drink. Nice place to visit
I love NY and Rockefeller Center at Christmas time is the place to see.
One of the must-see places in New York City. The Christmas tree of course. I would strongly recommend stopping by the Lego store to see there beautiful Lego creations. The FAO Schwartz store has all the latest toys and gadgets, often with people demonstrating them. NBC Studios are there. Other high end stores. The alley leading down to the ice skating rink from 5th Avenue has beautiful landscaping and sculptures. Check out the nearby Christie's Auction House. They often display the items that are soon to be auctioned off. These are often beautiful artwork, jewelry, furniture Etc. It is free 2 come in and peruse. THIS IS WHERE ONE OF THE LAST PRIVATELY OWNED DAVINCI'S WAS AUCTIONED OFF FOR ABOUT 470 MILLION DOLLARS
Was in New York for just a few hours so went to Rockefeller Center to do touristy things. Wish I had more time but the time I spent there was well worth it. Top of the Rock tours were full but we're managed to get in an NBC studios tour which was super cool as it reminded of my years working in broadcast news . Highly recommend the tour. Can't wait to go back someday when I can really explore the city but this was great for a small bite out of the big apple!
A must for every tourist. The famous center, ice rink underneath, shopping centers and the NBC tv shop are all in one place. Proximity to famous landmarks and 5th avenue make it especially nice to walk around.
I LOVE IT HERE! Between FAO Schwartz, Nintendo AND Lego, it's a great place for you to let out your inner child and have some fun!
Pretty place to be. The exposition of the Christmas tree and the decorations is amazing. For me is not worth the waiting time the ice rink unless is something in your bucket list. Instead of waiting in line for hours I would spend the time and money doing some other things around, but definitely a very unforgettable place to be.
Nice view over Manhattan. But not as good as Empire State Building.
Extremely busy this time of year but we had a great time.
Awesome Christmas spirit, beautiful music and lights all over! Very enjoyable experience =) Seems to be quite safe as well, although extremely busy, at this time of year. Keep an eye on your belongings!!!!!
Can be a bit busy during the holidays... or really at any time, but Rockefeller Center is one of the must-see stops if you're visiting Manhattan for the first time. From the Art-Deco architecture to ice-skating in the winter to panoramic views from Top of the Rock, this is one of the primary tourist destinations in NYC.
Love this place, one of my favorite sites to go every time I'm in NY.
As far as I know, this is the best view in the city. I'd come here during the day, and then visit the Empire State Building at night.
Went to Top of the Rock today, it was Amazing, three floors of photo opportunities. Sun was starting to set so lovely pink sky. Went by myself a wife is scared of heights. She really missed out. Absolutely Fantastic
A gem of a place to visit, there is a couple of restaurants to choose from, a gift shop and of course the top floor view overlooking central park and Manhattan, tickets are somewhat pricey but if you take advantage of all the things to do and see it is well worth the price.
How cool is NYC to bring some backyard feel to Rockefeller Center. Loved this! So peaceful amongst the hustle and bustle!
One of the most famous buildings in New York City. There is a observation deck. In my opinion Empire State Building is by far much better, so if you don't have much time go to Empire State instead of Rockefeller Center.
Tallest Christmas tree of USA with beutiful decoration and vibrant atmosphere...must visit in Christmas
A must to visit during Christmas. Always decorated beautifully.
Awesome views for taking in NYC. If you want to see the city skilyline all lit up at night. Top of the rock has the best views at night. Yes the Empire State is taller but if you observe from the Empire State you cannot see that iconic feature.
This got one of the best Christmas Tree of the world during the Christmas time, near by also got a very nice Christmas display at the nearby stores.
A good place for what it is a bar with some happy hour type food. I would have hope for more but I expected about what I got
Beautiful this time of year but I was NOT ready for the overly aggressive people who had problems with kids coming to New York City!!! It wasn't my kids who were questioned but last I checked kids love Christmas tree's & lights just as much as adults if not 100x's more!!
Great views but we were there on a very overcast day, so pics were not very good.
The sites are beautiful especially the Christmas tree but there isn't that much around there to see. There are beautiful lights everywhere though.
First time going was when they lit the tree. Absolutely beautiful! The crowd was a definite pain but worth it for sure. Just off of it is Saks and their windows were lit up as well with coinciding music. So magical!
One of the most happening Christmas attraction in New York. It is always crowded and packed with people during the holidays. It is famous for the Decorated Christmas Tree just outside Rockefeller Center. There is a Skating Rink down there and beautiful lights and decorations around the place. A go to place in New York during festive season and enjoy the lights.
I'm not from New York so I visited a lot of the regular touristy traps. Rockefeller Center was on my list of places to visit. I Loved it! The building is awesome to just hang around outside and people watch but it's going to the top that you're there for. It's $45 to take an elevator ride to the top, which is worth it to go at least once. I went at night and wow! What a view! It's gorgeous from up there at night. It looks both alive with action and peaceful at the same time. When you're up there you're going to take a lot of pics and you should.
Five star New York landmark whether you are visiting near Christmas, in the winter or anytime of year. Be prepared, if you want to go skating, make a reservation, if you want to take a picture next to the tree, you will wait. However, despite living in NYC, we try visit during the holidays.
Definitely a MUST visit if you re in New York City, specially during the holidays. Lots of people, so if you don t like crowds, be prepared for that. Very Magical!
A plaza that is always been dressed up especially during the holiday seasons. The art deco style buildings around are much more interesting than the chain stores reside there. Outdoor seating area is quite limited.
Love coming to see the tree. So many dining Options. And you have the Radisson 5th across the street.
As much as I love the Empire State Building, top of the rock gives you the best of both worlds - as in an amazing view which includes the iconic building of New York.
Been here several times. First to visit NBC's Late night dit Seth Meyers taping. Later to get on top of the Rock. Also offers some great shopping options. Conveniently located near 5th Avenue's shops. Subway station is right under the building.
