It was so professionnal, entertaining and beautifil... magical ! 🤩 My husband is not found of dance and music, but he was very impressed. Our three children (28, 26 and 23 years old) really loved it. Congratulations !!! Sorry but we did not have the right to take pictures.

Top of the Rock is the king of NYC views. Clear 360° panorama, perfect shot of the Empire State, and no annoying fences blocking your photos. Smooth experience, stunning scenery, and instant “main character” vibes. If you want the skyline moment, this is the spot. Totally worth it.

Visiting Top of the Rock was an absolutely beautiful experience. The views from the observation deck are truly unforgettable — you get a perfect panorama of New York City, including a breathtaking shot of the Empire State Building. The whole atmosphere feels magical, especially as the city lights begin to glow. The elevators are quick, the staff is friendly, and everything is organized smoothly, making the visit feel effortless. Whether you’re taking photos or just soaking in the skyline, it’s one of those moments that stays with you. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting NYC — it’s one of the most amazing viewpoints in the city. 🌆✨
