Top of the Rock Observation Deck

Stunning view from the Top of the Rock! Every time when I'm in town I come to this magical place. A tourist attraction that also attracts locals now and then. Don't miss the free WiFi Access

Make sure to order tickets online so you don't have to wait in line . AND make sure to get a time right before sunset for better pics and stay for night time viewing ! Way better than Empire State view .

Top of the rock is beautiful at night but, you can make it during sunset ; it's perfect! The view is spectacular. I recommend getting a City Pass, which allows you to bypass the long ticket line

Top of the Rock is cooler than the rest of the Rock. The multi-level outdoor Observation Deck at the top of Rockefeller Center is a historic "must see" experience for New York City visitors

Sunset is the perfect time for photos but requires some planning. Buy your tickets online for at least 1 hour before sunset time and stay until 20 minutes after sunset for the perfect light.

Expensive, but awesome! You can buy the Sky Skate ticket (Top of the Rock + Ice Skating ) for $48 - or some other combos, like the Rockefeller Tour , MoMA, etc. for different prices).

when u r up on the observatory deck and the sun shines from south grab your camera on the Northern deck stick your hand through the gap between glass wall and take a selfie photo. U gonna get this:

Most amazing view of NYC! You get the Empire State Building in your pictures which is amazing. You also get to see Central Park . Better than going on the Empire State observation deck for sure.

Amazing place to watch sunset or just to take a look at the city from the top. Try to purchase the tickets in advance. If the weather was bad, you can take a rain check for free.

Amazing view , especially from the south side! Although there are usually long lines to get up and down from the observatory , with VIP tickets (only a bit more expensive ), one cuts through all lines .

Go around sunset time, you'll get NYC at day, sunset and night, all in one visit. Sunsets from here are breathtaking, can't leave NYC without a photo here. You get to see the Empire State building !

Very cool place to see the entire city , I would recommend this over the Empire State Building . Also if you are a veteran with an ID you can get in for half price!

On a clear sunny day you can see ALL of Manhattan...it hands down has the best view of the city ! It's expensive , but well worth it for the photo ops and the futuristic elevator ride!

The best 360degree view of New York is at the top of the rock! Don't miss this place, do the day and stars package that allows you to go twice in one day (day/night)

Amazing views of Manhattan. Visit on a clear day for the best effect. The outdoor terraces are great but vertigo inducing. Look up as the elevator starts its ascent!

A must do in NY. Ten times better than Empire State Building . Incredible view . Wide space to walk around and take photos. Use the roof place to take photos. The best place to see NY.

Love this building, takes you back to a golden period for the city . Great view and style, I prefer this to the ESB, as you can see the ESB from this one ;)

It was incredible and unforgettable to see New York from the top. Also It was awesome to be there near sunset in order to observe both day and night view . You don't want to miss the city lights.

Better than Empire State Building because - Cheaper, you get to see the contrast of Central Park and Concrete, you actually get a great view of the Empire State Building .

Very well worth it! Might have got a better deal buying a CityPass but we’re not doing all the sights this time so don’t regret the spend at all. Lovely staff and tip; we went at 0830 and it was quiet

Great view - Empire state , central park , statue of liberty.. you see it all. The best part is, book your tickets for a specific time and avoid the long queues, typically seen at the empire state .

You must do it at day and night. Best rooftop of all NYC. Forget the Empire State . Here you don't have steel bars to take pictures. Forget to bring your tripod. You can't pass with it.

Absolutely amazing views ! Best time to go is sunset so you see both the city with lights on and off! Pricey but worth it!

Best view of Central Park . Go early morning to beat the crowds and have plenty of space to walk around. Pre-buy your tickets.

It's spectacular night view place in Newyork. Amazing city view particularly the changing colors of Empire State Building . Don't miss.

Spectacular views on each side, both during the day as at night! We had no waiting lines whatsoever, and preferred Top of the Rock over the Empire State Building , where we were 'trapped' for hours.

Amazing views , both of Central Park and the Empire State Building . Only went during the day but can imagine it looking beautiful at night too.

Amazing view of NYC, we went up first thing in the morning to beat the crowds and got some awesome photos. Much better experience than the Empire State Building .

Absolutely amazing view of the skyline . Be sure to stay for blue hour after sunset as the crowd clears!

Best view of the Manhattan better than empire and wtc . There are multiple upper decks and go to the top most view for blockless view

Buy your tickets on the internet to avoid the queues. Gives you that “top of the world” feeling that only NYC can offer.Take a few moments to know about the building’s great past.

The views here are epic. Go during sunset and watch the skies transform as the city lights flickers to life. There is a colourful disco room too. That's what I call it anyway. Hehe.

If you want to take pictures around sunset , make sure you get there at least half an hour before that time. It will be very crowded . Also: mini tripods appear to be permitted.

Best observatory in Manhattan imo, with great views of uptown, downtown and across the East River . If you like modern art get a combo ticket that gives entry to the MoMA too.

You can't leave NYC without climbing a skyscraper . This one is cheaper than the Empire state building and offers an amazing view on central park and the last called building! Worth the money.

Doesn’t matter if you’re a local or a tourist , these views are worth visiting more than once! Nothing beats this concrete jungle’s skyline♥️

once you get your tickets you have to wait for your time slot so get there (40 min) early if you want to see the sunset . It's worth it!

First morning we were in New York, our first stop was Top of the Rock. Best decision ever, because it helps put things into a massive context - you get great bearings and a sizing of Central Park

Less crowded than the Empire State deck it also gives you the chance to shot the city with its famous skyscrapers.Avoid rainy days, otherwise you will not be allowed to reach the second and best deck.

This is an awesome spot to go. You can see the Empire State Building and Central Park and thus you can get great pictures of the iconic spots in New York.

Been to the top of the rock - it's amaing view !! Beats the Empire State Building , no doubt! The intro - a nice video, a good touch. Post drinks in the Rockefeller center will give a perfect finish!!

Just go. Perfect views of the Empire State Building and skyline with WAY more room to enjoy the views than on top of the Empire State Building .

Breathtaking 360 views of Manhattan, including Central Park and Empire State . Get 7 PM tickets and check it out during sunset !

Unbelievable views . Time your visit to catch sunset and stay through twilight. Go straight to the 3rd deck and park yourself right at the south-facing views . Then, simply wait, and be amazed.

If there is one view to be seen in Manhattan thus is it. Pretty steep price to the top but you'll have all your major landmarks in front of you 360 degrees.

If you go for sunset , don't lose your patience and stay till dark, even if the sunset seems bad and foggy, it can turn nice at the end. True story. Come early to get a good spot for taking pics.

One of the best panoramic views of NYC! Not to be missed!

Buy your tickets online and reserve a time that's slightly before sunset . The view from up here is better than the view from the Empire State Building ! Well worth it :)

Beats the Empire State Building for two reasons: 1. Your view of Manhattan now includes the ESB, and 2. The glass around you means an unobstructed view and comparatively better photos of yourself! ;)

Stunning view ! Get the tickets in advance to avoid waiting in line . Try to get there around sunset , the light changes every second and you can get amazing photos!
