Take in 360-degree unobstructed views of New York City from 70 floors up on three indoor and outdoor observation decks.

Believe the hype. Nestled at the height of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, Top of the Rock’s three levels of indoor and outdoor observation decks deliver spectacular, unobstructed views of the city skyline. With terraces facing east, west, north, and south, Top of the Rock’s panoramic sights make it the ultimate observation deck in NYC. Soaring 70 floors above Rockefeller Center, it’s one of the top things to do in New York City.

Perched 70 stories above Rockefeller Center, take in a 360-degree panorama of New York from 850 feet (260 m) in the air at the Top of the Rock.
