Experience New York City from 70 stories up at the legendary Top of the Rock. This isn’t just a view; it’s a 360-degree panorama of the skyline that leaves every other vantage point in the dust.
Your adventure starts at Rockefeller Center’s Welcome Gallery, where you’ll dive into the history of this icon before boarding a high-speed elevator. In just 43 seconds, you’ll be swept up to the 67th floor to explore three levels of indoor and outdoor decks. From Central Park to the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty, the photo ops are endless.

Skylift: Take a ride on a glass, unobstructed platform for a true panoramic thrill.

5.00It was lovely. We scheduled for 2 but it was supposed to rain so they let us go early and it was perfect. The weather was great and not very crowded.
Fraud easy using Viator.

1.00I had NO experience with Viator. On 1 day within a 55 minute time frame, I was charged 7 times for purchases via Viator. I'm 80 years old, not traveling across country and made no travel purchases using Viator. I called immediately and was told only thing that could be done was to report the unauthorized charges. I then cancelled my credit card and another charge was attempted , but denied. I've received no contact or charge adjustments totally $627.01 from Viator. I don't call this good service in any way!

5.00This was a bit scary for me but only because I’m afraid of heights. However, my family loved it and my kids went up on the Beam ride that gave them an extra special view (for an extra $20 each) that was well worth it!
