Ramsey MohsenNovember 14, 2012You 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.
Teddy TheDecember 4, 2018The Rink was a blast. Even though small in size, but it's a good experience for the kids.

Lovely during the winter holiday season. The tree, the ice skating rink, the vibe...it truly is the most wonderful time of the year.
Sara CaldwellApril 5, 2013Want lovely night photos of the NYC skyline and Empire State Building? Top of the Rock is the place! Totally worth the $20.
Celina MendozaJanuary 4, 2016Christmas is the best season to come. You get really in a Christmas mood.
Time Out New YorkSeptember 10, 2010Visit the ice rink before Thanksgiving and Christmas to avoid the crowds. On Thanksgiving go between 9am and noon or expect a one- to two-hour wait.
Go inside 30 Rock and go to the basement. Lots of dining options. With back facing Starbucks, bathrooms are down the hall on the right.
This is a tourist trap, but locals come here too! Rockefeller Center is a NYC staple.
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.
D GreeneFebruary 27, 2013This location is one of my favorite places to visit during Christmas to see The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. The tree has been placed here annually since 1933. Great memories!
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.
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.
CeSaintsDecember 22, 2015Always great to watch the lights and music show! Between Dec 18th and 23th it's always on in the evenings
CristinaApril 26, 2013Around the holidays, be sure to go. It'll be packed, but worth it. Otherwise, it's optional.
Ashtyn KarachristosFebruary 13, 2013One of my favorite places in the world! If your a girl, make sure to stop off at the Free People store! Two Stories!
Lauren McEachranMarch 10, 2013Awesome views, great staff. Loved the 3 different levels of viewing :-)
Kirsty WildeJune 30, 2018Absolutely amazing lovely staff and you can spend as long as you like at the top- Murat ONUKAugust 8, 2014Better than going to the Empire State Building. The best place to get a view on New York City.

chicchaimonoDecember 15, 2011Best observation deck in Manhattan to see both Central Park and famous bldgs such as Empire State Building and Chrysler Building.
KibooNovember 30, 2012The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree uses 30,000 LED lights. These use only 35% of the energy that traditional lights do.
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
Keep in mind that nearby St. Patrick's usually closes at 8 pm and that a walk to Central Park really isn't that far if you like to walk!
Great ice skating place, and go downstairs to have a meal there!
Radio City Christmas SpectacularOctober 6, 2011During 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!
Don't just hit the tourist spots - enjoy all of the different shops in the center.
Carola WüstAugust 14, 2014Nice view of Manhattan from the top of the Rock - ask if the sight is good, before you go up!
An other landmark of the city. But always busy no matter the season. Don't bring babies, strollers or big bags
Michelle BuiceDecember 4, 2019We went here a few times as kids. It’s expensive, but worth it for the experience.
El RafaJuly 8, 2016Must go!! Also, if you haven't, you must watch 30Rock on NETFLIX! 😂😂😂 Go to the Top of the Rock!
Jake PearceAugust 24, 2011Good kebab place opposite from 6pm onwards opposite Del Fuiscas - street vendor have the lamb salad with a touch of sauce.
Ozan VuralJuly 10, 2011The best spot to get a picture of Manhattan in the top of the building where the Empire States building seems in the background.
Camp BroadwayApril 23, 2012Not only fun during the holidays. Go during warm weather or autumn for breathtaking views of Central Park from the "Top of the Rock."
Todd A WilliamsNovember 24, 2014Go ice skating and then go up to the top of the rock. Great place during the holiday season.
