New York: Rockefeller Center Top of the Rock Observation Deck Sunset Admission

Top of the Rock is one of New York's most iconic observatories, located on the 70th floor of the famous Art Deco-style Rockefeller Center building. It resembles the deck of a cruise ship, boasting a grand and massive scale. 

Top of the Rock Observatory offers 360-degree panoramic views, showcasing the metropolis of New York stretching from Central Park to the Empire State Building and the concrete horizon. See with your own eyes the backdrop of the famous photograph of workers eating on steel beams.

Why You Should Visit Top of the Rock

There are several observatories in New York, but here's why you should visit Top of the Rock! You can enjoy unobstructed, open views from the rooftop. Especially during sunset, Top of the Rock offers stunning views of the Empire State Building reflecting the sunset.

Additionally, Rockefeller Center's location in the heart of Manhattan provides the most spectacular views, making Top of the Rock highly recommended. 

Difficult to See Without a Reservation

Top of the Rock Observatory is one of the most sought-after observatories by people all over the world. It's extremely difficult to enter without a prior reservation.

The 67th floor observatory is popular in winter.

69th Floor Observatory:

The 70th Floor Observatory is the Most Popular

Night at the Top of the Rock Observatory. The views of New York are indescribably beautiful. Be sure to see this incredible view from the open 70th floor observatory. Of course, the 67th and 69th floor observatories are also great, but seeing it from the open rooftop is much more romantic than seeing it through glass.

The most popular photo spot is with the Empire State Building directly in front. Keep this in mind!

Introducing the Most Popular Times

Top of the Rock Observatory is always popular, but especially at 5 PM and 6 PM. People enter at this time to secure a good spot on the 70th floor rooftop and watch everything from the sunset to the night view. Rather than visiting at another time because it's crowded, we recommend experiencing the magic hour together. If you visit during sunset time, you can see even more beautiful scenes.
