Top of the Rock Observation Deck Tickets

About this experience

Top of the Rock Observation Deck Tickets Top of the Rock offers some of the finest views in New York City from three viewing platforms on the 67th, 69th and 70th floors of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Your ticket bypasses the standard queues and grants immediate access to both indoor and outdoor decks with panoramic views over Manhattan, Central Park and the Empire State Building. The observation deck features large windows and minimal railings for clear sightlines and photography opportunities. Before ascending, you'll explore the Welcome Gallery at the base, which houses a 10-foot scale model of Rockefeller Center and a five-minute film about the landmark's history. The experience combines classic New York skyline views with interactive exhibits highlighting the building's Art Deco architecture.
