About this activity

Experience New York City from 70 stories up at the legendary Top of the Rock. This isn’t just a view; it’s a 360-degree panorama of the skyline that leaves every other vantage point in the dust.

Your adventure starts at Rockefeller Center’s Welcome Gallery, where you’ll dive into the history of this icon before boarding a high-speed elevator. In just 43 seconds, you’ll be swept up to the 67th floor to explore three levels of indoor and outdoor decks. From Central Park to the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty, the photo ops are endless.

Level up your visit:

The Beam: Channel the 1932 "Lunch atop a Skyscraper" photo as you’re hoisted 12 feet above the deck.

Skylift: Take a ride on a glass, unobstructed platform for a true panoramic thrill.

All-Inclusive Pass: Get it all—admission, The Beam, and the Skylift—for the ultimate NYC experience.

Don't just see the city; stand above it. Book your tickets now for the definitive Rockefeller Center adventure!
