    If you like art, the tour is highly recommended. Great information behind the art in the Centre

    You must go into the lobby and see the "animated" painting/mural. Make sure you ask the security guards how and where you're supposed to walk in order to see it animate.

    Classic among classics, one of THE places to go in NYC. The underground shops can be improved, though.

    NBC tour was fantastic! The SNL studio was nothing I expected and I was astounded by the vast history of NBC. Also, go up to the "Top of the Rock" for the (arguably) best view of New York City. Read more

    Look for the photographer in the center concourse where they take a professional photo of you and the tree. They make it look like you are the only ones there. Love it! Done it the last 5 yrs w/ my BF

    The Rink was a blast. Even though small in size, but it's a good experience for the kids.

    During the holidays, the tree radiates Christmas spirit throughout Rockefeller Center. Whether you’re skating or just watching, the ice rink is lots of frozen fun!

    The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree uses 30,000 LED lights. These use only 35% of the energy that traditional lights do.
