Top of the Rock
Welcome to top of the Rock™ Observation Deck
TOP OF THE ROCK™ is an experience in history and scenery that culminates with unparalleled views of New York City from the newly opened Observation Deck on the 70th floor of 30 Rockefeller Center, in the heart of midtown Manhattan. Visit during the day to see the splendor of the city unfold beneath you or visit at night and see the city sparkle.
There’s a certain peace at 70 stories above the city, and TOP OF THE ROCK™ Observation Deck was conceived with the express purpose of keeping that peace uninterrupted. Panels of fully transparent safety glass — the only thing between our visitors and the city — are crystal clear for unobstructed, open-air viewing. Our reserved-ticketing system is designed to ensure the deck is easily accessible and the experience is always amazing.
The view itself is unique and astonishing. Unobstructed for 360 degrees from the 70th floor, the breathtaking landscape stretches for miles in every direction. It includes a panorama of Central Park and the northern half of Manhattan that cannot be found anywhere else. New York’s other landmarks are visible as well, including the Chrysler Building, Times Square, the Hudson River, the East River, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Statue of Liberty. It is, quite simply, the most spectacular view in New York City.
TOP OF THE ROCK™ Observation Deck, open 365 days a year, is the ideal perch to watch the seasons unfold or simply to take in an amazing sunset.
DESIGNED FOR GUESTS OF EVERY AGE
TOP OF THE ROCK™ is more than just a pretty view. In addition to the exhibits on the mezzanine level, the stunning views at the summit can be enjoyed by everyone. And, to remember the trip, our TOP OF THE ROCK™ shop features exclusive merchandise ranging from vintage photographs of the construction workers building 30 Rockefeller Center to trendy fashion accessories not found anywhere else.
HOURS OF OPERATION – 8:00 a.m. to midnight, 365 days a year with the last elevator going up at 11 p.m.
SWAROVSKI & TARGET® BRING THEIR UNIQUE STYLES TO TOP OF THE ROCK™
There’s a genuine excitement at TOP OF THE ROCK™, inspired by our sponsor partnerships with Swarovski, the world’s leading brand for cut crystal, and Target®, the most dynamic and innovative retailer in the U.S.
To celebrate its partnership with TOP OF THE ROCK™, Swarovski has created two spectacular pieces of art that are as dazzling as the views from our Observation Deck: “Radiance”, a massive crystal geode wall on the first level of the Observation Deck, shimmers with 600 custom glass and crystal panels spanning a width of 180 feet; and “Joie”, a stunning crystal waterfall chandelier that is the centerpiece of TOP OF THE ROCK’s™ entrance on West 50th Street.
Target® adds its own cool and imaginative style to the Observation Deck with the Target® Breezeway, a cutting edge, interactive multi-media experience that puts a human touch on motion-detection technology, using the movements of our visitors as its catalyst. Target® has also designed a number of exclusive, Target®-branded products for the TOP OF THE ROCK™ shops. The Target® merchandise includes personal, business and travel accessories, as well as a collection of cashmere hats, gloves and scarves.
