Journey to the Top
Joie Chandelier
Made of 14,000 crystals, the Joie Chandelier was created by Swarovski exclusively for Top of the Rock. The largest of its kind, it soars 3 stories above the Grand Atrium lobby. And when you look at it upside down, you’ll see it’s in the shape of 30 Rock.
Mezzanine Exhibit
Filled with fascinating photos, information, and artifacts, the Mezzanine Exhibit walks you through the planning and creation of Rockefeller Center. And our theatre provides a quick video on the history of NBC and Rockefeller Center.
Beam Walk
The iconic photo of construction workers taking a lunch break high above Manhattan was taken right here. And with our interactive Beam Walk, you can follow in their footsteps, and even take your own tribute photo.
Sky Shuttle
It takes less than a minute, but it’s an elevator ride you’ll remember forever, especially if you look up as you go. You’ll be heading 850 feet (260 meters) above sea level to your destination at Top of the Rock.
Radiance Wall
Another Swarovski creation exclusively for Top of the Rock, the Radiance Wall consists of glass panels, blown glass, crystal clusters, and fiber-optic lighting. And if you look closely you’ll find tiny crystal figurines and animals hidden within it.
Indoor and Outdoor Viewing
Enjoy three levels of unobstructed views––from the 67th and 69th floors, and on the 70th floor open-air roof deck.
70th Floor Open Air Roof Deck
The 70th Floor, which has no metal or glass enclosures, is perfect for photos. Take incredible skyline pictures. Or use the skyline as a backdrop for photos of you and your friends and family.
