[API TEST] New York Rockefeller Center Top of the Rock Observation Deck Ticket

New York's iconic Rockefeller Center,
And Top of the Rock Observation Deck

Top of the Rock is one of New York's representative observatories and is located atop the 70th floor of the Rockefeller Center building, built in the famous Art Deco style. This place is grand and huge, resembling the deck of a cruise ship.

The Top of the Rock Observation Deck boasts a 360-degree panoramic view, showing the metropolis of New York stretching from Central Park to the Empire State Building and all the way to the concrete skyline. This is the backdrop for the famous photo of workers eating on steel beams, so see it for yourself.

Why we should go to Top of the Rock

There are many observatories in New York, but why should we go to Top of the Rock? This is because you can see an open view from the rooftop without any obstruction. Especially during sunset, also known as magic hour, you can see the beautiful Empire State Building reflected in the setting sun at Top of the Rock.

Another reason to recommend Top of the Rock is that Rockefeller Center is located completely in the center of Manhattan, offering the best views.

It's hard to see if you don't make a reservation in advance.

The Top of the Rock Observatory is the observatory that everyone around the world most wants to visit. Because so many people visit, getting in without making a reservation in advance is a breeze.

So, I recommend making a reservation in advance through WAUG. You can purchase it cheaper than on the official website!

Introducing the charms of the observatory on each floor.

The Top of the Rock Observatory consists of three floors.

67th floor observatory:
There is a spacious indoor space and an outdoor terrace on the north and south sides.
The 67th floor observatory is very popular in winter.

69th floor observatory:
If you take the escalator up from the 67th floor observatory, you can see a larger outdoor terrace.
Although it is open, there is a glass window in the Anzen fence.

70th floor observatory:
You can enjoy a completely open view without a fence.

The 70th floor observatory is the most popular.

Night at Top of the Rock Observatory. The view of New York is so beautiful that it is difficult to describe in words. Be sure to see this amazing view from the panoramic 70th floor observation deck. Of course, the observatory on the 67th and 69th floors is nice, but it is much more romantic to see it from the open rooftop than through glass.

The most popular photo spot is a photo taken with the Empire State Building in front. Please note in advance!

Introducing the most popular times

The Top of the Rock observatory is always popular, but it is especially popular at 5 or 6 p.m. I plan to enter at this time, grab a good spot on the 70th floor rooftop, and enjoy everything from the sunset to the night view. I recommend experiencing the magic hour together rather than visiting at different times when there are too many people.

Visiting the Top of the Rock is a must, not an option, if you are traveling to New York. Buy discounted admission tickets from WAUG and be sure to see amazing views of New York!
