Traveler reviews
Great experience!
Easy entry, fun NYC attraction. Great photo ops and views of the whole city. Bar, cafe, a gift kiosk at the top. Skylift was a great addition!
Massively disappointed
Worst experience ever. Can't take your water beyond the lift but as soon as your out the lift at the top you can buy one. Packed like sardines. Time booked for 7pm didn't get up till 7.45pm. just wanted up to get a couple of photos, spent 10 mins at top but it took 1.5 hrs between the Q to get in & the Q to get out. Absolute carryon. Wouldn't recommend, was much better at the other viewing decks. So disappointed.
Fantastic views and information.
Very informative. Spectacular views.
Best Views in NYC - great staff!
We had a great experience at Top of the Rock! Professional and friendly staff, great bar and phenomenal views!! This has to be the best view in all of NYC š!
Top of the Rock experience
We had a booking for 3pm, but arrived 20 mins earlier & we were still let in. Very impressed with the service & friendly attitude of the staff. Luckily it was a very clear & sunny day so our view was incredible. Thereās nothing you canāt see from the Top of the Rock! You also can explore the bottom of the rock & the gift shop at the end. Thoroughly recommend this tour.
