Top of the Rock: Admission + SKYLIFT

About this experience

About Top of the Rock: Admission + SKYLIFT Top of the Rock: Admission + SKYLIFT is an observation deck attraction at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in Midtown Manhattan, combining access to three levels of indoor and outdoor terraces with SKYLIFT, an open-air platform that rises nearly 30 feet above the 70th floor. The observation deck opened in 2005 after a 20-year closure, restoring one of New York City's most elevated public viewpoints to the top of 30 Rock, the 70-storey Art Deco tower completed in 1933 as part of the Rockefeller Center complex. SKYLIFT is the headline addition, a mechanised open-air platform that carries visitors upward from the 70th floor to a position roughly 850 feet above street level. The combination of the standard observation deck and SKYLIFT makes this ticket the highest publicly accessible vantage point in the building. What to expect Tickets cover timed entry at a scheduled timeslot, access to all three observation deck levels, and a single SKYLIFT ride. The terraces face east, west, north, and south, placing landmarks including the Empire State Building, Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and all five boroughs within a single unobstructed panorama. The indoor level provides sheltered viewing and interpretive displays about Rockefeller Center's history, while the outdoor upper terraces offer open sightlines with no overhead glass. A photo pass and The Beam experience are available separately and are not included in this ticket. The attraction is fully wheelchair accessible.
