Gabriel M.December 22, 2018Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you the heart of Manhattan. Ditch Times Square to come here, it’s much more fun, especially during holidays.
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019Rock Center has plenty of amazing shops. In the winter you won't want to miss the beautiful Christmas tree and ice skating.
MuratJuly 17, 2017Great location, close to many major tourist attractions. There are shops and restaurants available within the complex. One of the must-see points.
Built in 1933 and designed by Architect, Raymond Hood. Height is 850 ft (260 m). Fact; It was during the construction of this building when the iconic ‘Lunch atop a Skyscraper’ was taken.
EdwulfJune 25, 2015On winter come to see the spectacular Christmas tree and ice rink, on summer have a good brunch on the plaza.
МиленаJune 30, 2013Nice views over Central Park, Manhattan and Empire State Building. It was so great. And we saw sunset. The Top of the Rock is better than Empire.
Concert Ticket AgencySeptember 6, 2012World Famous. Always on the bucket list! Don't forget about the skating rink! Open Oct to Apr! How cool to say that you skated at the Rock!

Eric SmithDecember 1, 2013Get the VIP tickets for the ice rink/Radio City Christmas Spectacular well before Thanksgiving. They sell out quickly but it's a good deal if you want to skate!

Natalia CruzMay 1, 2015One of the iconic guiding of NYC the lobby is pretty amazing, if you wanna go to top of the rock be prepared for wait a lot.
RyanDecember 31, 2012If the queue is long to buy tickets, head downstairs in Rockefeller to Pret a Manger. They have free open Wifi so you can buy your tickets on your smartphone and get a barcode ticket.
Fahad H.May 9, 2015One of the interesting buildings in New York City. Its have a lot of shops and restaurants. 😊

- Katrina KildareJune 26, 2016From top of the Rock to NBC Studios to the ice-skating rink, Rock Center is it when visiting New York City
KKeysJanuary 18, 2013This place is a must see IF you are around Time Square! Romantic, amazing and beautiful basically sum it up!
Camila MattosoJanuary 4, 2015Pretty and very crowded place! The ice skating price is very expensive, and it's not worth! Must go and take some pictures!
John BarnhamDecember 28, 2015It's the place to see the best Christmas tree. Watch the ice skaters and people watch for a jolly festive day out
Janu VanierDecember 18, 2016Come here during Christmas to see the corpse of a majestic ancient tree whose life we've cut a few bundred years short for a month of human enjoyment.
Hot SandApril 11, 2014I loved this place, shame about missing out on seeing the Ice rink but still a nice spot to hang out for coffee or idle around window- shopping👭👭👌
Nicole RovigDecember 10, 2018Beautiful in December, but be prepared on a Saturday evening to encounter crowds so large at times you can’t move at all.
Mary PittDecember 12, 2017Love the Rockefeller Christmas Tree . It is definitely Christmas time in New York.🌲🌲🌲🌲
Go there instead of the Empire State. From the Empire State, you can't see the Empire State. From the top of the Rock, you can. And lines are shorter = Less waiting ;)
Lovely during the winter holiday season. The tree, the ice skating rink, the vibe...it truly is the most wonderful time of the year.
New York HabitatSeptember 26, 2011Go to the Top of the Rock observation deck for magnificent views over Central Park. Also, get there early for the famous “lighting of the tree” in early December!
MEL BROWN STUDIOSAugust 24, 2014Beautiful building. Def worth a visit even as a tourist and if your not going to the observation deck.
Erik MartinezSeptember 15, 2015Definitely a nice place around the holidays to walk around window shop see all the beautiful lights
The New York PalaceMarch 26, 2012Rise early & head to their famous ice skating rink. From young children lacing their first pair of skates to the very experienced skaters attempting their jumps, you’re sure to fit right in.
Swiss In Hong Kong 🇨🇭🇭🇰December 23, 2016Must see place if you're in New York. But also a really crowded place.
Allison KaminskiDecember 16, 2015Go early in the week to see the Christmas tree!! Shorter lines for photos and ice skating
Maribeth RDecember 31, 2013This is the best spot to see the Christmas tree and get a great view of the laser light show on the Saks Fifth Avenue building.
Bill's Bar and Burger on 51st is worth going to RC for as well as Top of the Rock's stellar view of Manhattan and surrounding boroughs. Don't miss Nintendo World on 48th and the Plaza!
mizz linJune 15, 2016They sometimes tape morning shows in the open here so do hang around and look for clues. I was in line for another show but heard groupie screams coming from here- Caio TurbianiAugust 20, 2014You can stay as much as you want so go around 7 in the summer to enjoy the sunset and the city lights at night
- Robert GillingsJune 5, 2017Great venue with lots of history and a great atmosphere! Highly recommend visiting this place.
Jacob ShemkovitzAugust 31, 2013Successful urban planning projects of 20th-century America; changed Midtown Manhattan; originating site of popular NBC television programs Today and Saturday Night Live
Mariana PantalenaJuly 14, 2015Great View of Central Park on top of the rock. Have an ice cream cake and coffee at the central restaurant.
CompassMay 16, 2014Hang around the shopping, dining, and transit plaza where the famous Christmas tree and ice skating rink are open in the winter.
Scott DresmalDecember 30, 2013You haven't lived until you've seen the tree, angels, ice rink, and if your lucky you just might catch it all as the snow falls.
José ParedesSeptember 20, 2018At both sides of the Starbucks the one which is downstairs, you have power outlets for you to charge your phone if it's out of juice!.
Otel.comOctober 31, 2013Several sculptures are spread throughout the complex, including a bronze-gilded statue of Prometheus and a 45-foot tall statue of Atlas.
Sabine (Your Ambassadrice) de WitteNovember 27, 2011The center itself isn't that special, but do go to the Top of the Rock for an amazing view. And from the Dutch Consulate offices you have a great view!
WorldStridesApril 5, 2011Don't Miss :GE Building: This building serves as the focus of Rockefeller Center, rising 850 feet and 70 stories in the air. It is home to the Rainbow Room restaurant, located on the 65th floor, and
