It's worth braving the crowds.. the picture opportunities are incredible as are the decorations and lights on the surrounding buildings of course the Rockefeller center tree and ice skating rink are great backdrop. Be sure to explore the store Windows as they are artistic creations that must be seen to be believed. Char subway stations nearby. Some of the streets are closed to do traffic which makes it nice to walk around. FAO schwarz is right down the street.

Yep! She's a big building...it's in the photo somewhere. I was gonna get some tickets to go up to the viewing deck but couldn't until 4 hours after purchase. I went down the road to a lesser known building with 4 floors, looked out the window and saw Raymond Burr acting peculiar like. He MADE Ironside.

We visited Rockefeller Center on the weekend before Christmas and it was everything that we hoped for. Of course the crowds were very heavy but everyone was in a cheery Christmas mood. We got lost on our way and people were very helpful to get us back on track.

Such an interesting an iconic place. Always wanted to see this place with the Christmas tree lit up but it was still really cool to see in the beginning of October. Lots of underground shops as well. Public bathrooms are located here underground as well.

Always packed when the tree is up. The tree is impressive, but not much to see during the day since its only lights. Haven't ice skated here, lines are super long and prices are high. Its a great holiday experience though.

AMAZING place, every time we come here it looks different, like a different theme, great place to stop and relax in the city, you are surrounded by LEGO, Nintendo, FAO Schwartz(new) and many other nice stores, every morning the news are broadcast and you can watch live, the restaurants here are nice but very very very expensive

This was a very beautiful and magical place to be on Christmas night! The huge Christmas tree and all the decorations were breathtaking. Their was so many people every where, it would be easy to get lost in the huge crowd of people. Everyone seemed to be content and happy to be there. This is definitely a 5 star place. I recommend going here if you ever have the opportunity .

The historical significance of this place can't be overstated. One before you go here watch the documentary the men who built America. It will give u a better perspective for why this place exist. Two be prepared to see someone famous . My friend ended up see a Baldwin when we were there. Oh read the placard of Rockefeller beliefs and laugh at the hypocritical statements

I love this place. Recommend going at night since the views are nicer (go to One World Trade if you want a daytime experience). They also offer military discounts as long as you have your ID with you (for both active military and veterans).

Fun place to visit and a must see for any visitor. There's more than just the plaza and ice skating rink as there is a whole mall underground and stores all around the area. Lots of things to see and do in the area so be sure to explore!

Very neat place. 3 levels for viewing, so never really felt crowded. Was kind of chilly up at the top but we were protected from the winds by large panes of glass which did not inhibit photos much at all

MAGICAL. Being a new Yorker this was my first time in a few years I actually went here. Even the huge amount of out of Towners and maze of getting from the subway to the plaza can't take away the thrill of the experience. The Christmas Tree looked a little funny imo, but people having absolute fun in the ice rink, skating to New York music and the Saks show takes your breath away.

My goodness. This is a busy and amazing place. Beers are a tad expensive compared to nearby places, so you are paying for the ambience. That's fine. Sit at the bar in the centre for a few minutes before going to Radio City Music Hall ( which we did), or just soak it all up.

Nice area to explore, but it's overrun with tourists. There's no way I'd spend more than an hour around here, but it's cool to check out the sites and NBC stuff. We missed the Today show as we got there about 9 am, so if that's important to you, get your butt up early.

Absolutely worth the work to get to see all the sights at Rockefeller center. Be ready as it is crowded but worth it. We got lucky and there was a rainy night while we were there and very few people were out.

Was there the night before the tree lighting and the night following the tree lighting. It was much busier after the tree lighting but not crazy like it would have been for the big event. Convenient to subway lines B-D-F-M.

Rockefeller Center is amazing during November because you can see the construction of the christmas tree and i went during the veterans day, so there were so many american flags all over the center.
You are really close to NBC studios and to the main church of New York.
Amazing place.

My sister, niece and I went to their Christmas spectacular for the holidays. Boy, was it fun!!! The special effects were amazing. The whole stage came to life. The Rockets were outstandingly synchronized and entertaining but my personal favorite was the falling soldiers. All in all a great show. Talk about capturing the holidays spirit, Kudos!

Rockefeller Center is definitely somewhere you want to stop when visiting NYC as well as locals! We stop there many times just to chill out, dine, have coffee, shop, or skate! It's great during every season. There is,never a bad time to visit!

Restroom available location perfect for family and friends to meet. Skates are offered for a fee. Ice is kept clean and hard. Interesting place to spend time on vacation. Coffee availability

Ever seen a tree? Well, this is a big one. Plus knock-off Elmo and tour groups from Racine, Wisconsin and Kankakee, Illinois. Worth the price of admission though, but only because it s free. Bah, humbug.

Big colorful tree , but whole lot of people. Like a lot . Really. If you are not big fan of huge crowds, or just don t like people- don t go there
Short people may not survive after 4pm , because everyone trying to step on you

It has been my dream to see the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree it was just hauled in the night before I was there. It was also nice that for Veterans Day they put up American flags all around the ice rink to help honor the veterans. I never knew that ice rink was that small, it always seem bigger on TV.

It's an interesting place to visit in NYC as a tourist, you can snap a few photos of the seasonal decorations. It's nice to observe or participate on the ice rink, and there are enough food trucks nearby to satisfy any palate. It's definitely a tourist destination, worth putting on the list.

I didn't go at the top of the Rockefeller, as many of my colleagues told me WTC has much better view. However i just made a quick visit and there is nothing much to see around it. There is a very old church close to it with amazing structure. You can hardly spend 15-20 minutes here.

One of the most iconic place in New York, every one comes here for the Christmas tree and the ice skating rink besides places like St Patrick's cathedral and the atlas statue are all located on the same location

Excellent, from shopping, dining, skating and the most famous Christmas tree. Top of the Rock is my favorite observation deck with a beautiful backdrop of the Empire State Building. Rockefeller Center is an icon in NYC.
