About Top of the Rock
The legendary Rockefeller Centre, spanning 22 acres, is an iconic symbol of the American dream. Top of the Rock offers a sweeping panoramic view of how America has achieved this dream in its bustling center of commerce, New York. The 70th-floor observatory will keep you captivated with its unparalleled view of the bustling city below.
In contrast to many Art Deco skyscrapers of the 1930s, the 30 Rockefeller Plaza was uniquely built as a slab with a flat roof. Since 1933, it has served as the location of the Rockefeller Center's observation deck, known as the Top of the Rock.
The Observation deck was originally designed to emulate the upper decks of a 1930s grand ocean liner. It was supposed to be furnished with deck chairs, gooseneck fixtures and large air-conditioning vents that would make it look like a ship’s deck.
Top of the Rock offers you a captivating audio-visual experience crafted by Andrew Giugno and Ray Kunimoto on the mezzanine level. Encounter a fully immersive soundscape as you walk toward the elevators, offering a glimpse into the future of Rockefeller Center and New York City.
