Top of the Rock NYC Observation Deck | Best Skyline Views of Manhattan
Take in 360-degree views of New York City.
Believe the hype. Top of the Rock’s three levels of indoor and outdoor observation decks deliver spectacular, unobstructed views of the city skyline. With terraces facing east, west, north, and south, Top of the Rock’s panoramic sights make it the ultimate observation deck in NYC. At the pinnacle of 30 Rockefeller Plaza’s 70 floors, it’s one of the top things to do in New York City.
The Top of the Rock experience is being reimagined and exciting new additions to the observation decks are on the horizon. While we are under construction, you can still expect the same fantastic views, but please note that access to specific areas may be limited while we work hard to bring new features to Top of the Rock.
