Top of the Rock is a popular attraction for tourists and residents alike. One of NYC’s most famous buildings, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, features a breathtaking observation deck on the roof. Top of the Rock is a great place to visit any time of year, though it can get windy and cold during the chilly months. Still, if you’re going to be in Rockefeller Center for ice skating, viewing of the giant Christmas tree, or just to take in one of Manhattan’s most famous destinations, don’t miss out on Top of the Rock.

Oh, and did I mention that this is the same 30 Rockefeller Plaza where the hit TV show “30 Rock” takes place? Yes, I thought you might like that!

Unlike the observation desk at Seattle’s Space Needle or other tall viewpoints, the Top of the Rock observation deck does not feature any dining options. However, a brief swing through the ground-level concourse of Rockefeller Plaza will bring you to more great restaurants than you’ll know what do do with!

Top of the Rock features both enclosed (remember winter?) and open-air observation areas, providing a completely unobstructed view of New York City for 360-degrees. The decks are open 365 days a year, and there is no time limit imposed on visitors wishing to spend time on the observation decks.

At $25/ticket for adults and discounted pricing for children and seniors, this quickly becomes an affordable memory worth making. Tickets can be purchased online or at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

Just don’t look down!
