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. 🌆✨

I have been to the Top of The Rock in the morning, late afternoon, and now after dark, and every time it has been a magical experience. I was a bit hesitant when our host mentioned that we would have to watch a five-minute video before heading up, but it was actually very enjoyable and I preferred viewing it that way over the old way (in the elevator). Top of The Rock is a must-see experience for anyone's trip to New York as it has the best 360° views, is in a historically significant building in a great location, and you can actually see the Empire State Building in all its glory!

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.

    • See NYC from two incredible vantage points—850+ feet in the air at Top of the Rock and 1,500+ feet above in a helicopter, without juggling separate bookings.

    • Timed entry to the Top of the Rock Observation Deck gets you access to all three observation decks, with sweeping views of Central Park, Midtown, and Downtown Manhattan.

    • Soar above New York on a 15-min helicopter ride and catch aerial views of landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building with live pilot narration through noise-cancelling headsets.
