This was my first visit to Top Of The Rock. I enjoyed seeing the sights through the eyes of my 10 year old guest. I am sure this visit, linked with his annual visit to FAO Schwarz, will be the prime topic of his back-to-school conversations with his friends.

Our visit to the Rockefeller Center with Headout was an unforgettable experience. Everything went smoothly without any issues, and we could always access the tickets quickly through the app. Highly recommended.

Our visit to the Rockefeller centre Top of the Rock experience was fantastic able to view the amazing skyline's of New York. It was great seeing the views and going out on the beam and having our photos taken. It was quite an experience for our 20th Wedding Anniversary , and we loved seeing another young couple tying the knot!

This basic Top of the Rock ticket is a great experience. Amazing views. Spent extra on the "beam experience" - definitely not worth it- couldn't take photos (had to pay for theirs, which didn't turn out)...are up on the beam for about 2 minutes, up around and down.

The Summit is beautiful and well worth it. Top of the Rocks, on the other hand, is not—I definitely wouldn't recommend it! Plus, it was raining, and at Top of the Rocks they made us leave right away without giving us a refund: money down the drain.

Smooth end to end. The QR ticket scanned right away and we were up on the deck within minutes. Timing it for sunset was the best decision, golden light over the whole skyline, then the city lighting up. Worth every penny.

Skip waiting in ticket lines and ascend to the Top of the Rock for sweeping 360° views of NYC—from Central Park to the Empire State Building.

Start your visit in the Welcome Gallery, which features a 10-foot model of the Rockefeller Center campus and plays a 5-minute immersive film about the origins of Top of the Rock.
