Editorial Review for Top of the Rock – by Katie Heffernan
In Short
You'll wish you had eyes on the back of your head for the full-circle views radiating from the 70th story of this New York City landmark. The three-floor experience begins with a glass-ceilinged elevator ride, arriving at indoor observation decks with glass-walled outdoor terraces and then onto the open-air, art deco rooftop with swing-stand binoculars. To combat tourist attraction downsides and preserve the peaceful retreat, a reserved-ticket system keeps lines minimal and admits visitors at intervals.

Insider Tips
Save MoneyThough tickets are timed, your stay isn't. The admission fee grants access for as long as you like. Parties over 20 get group rates.
When to GoGo on a clear day, when sightlines stretch 80 miles and all the biggies are visible--Lady Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State and more.

I recently visiting Top of the Rock after hearing some great things about the views. I have to say that it is magnificent and 100% worth it. Even for someone living in the city, it is amazing to see New York in all its glory.

I wanted to do something different for V-day and i was browsing on the site to see some different options for us to do. This page came up and I was like...BRILLIANT IDEA!! So I took my boyfriend here as a surprise. A Great surprise. It was awesome. Seeing the city like this in full 360 (even in the cold) was totally 100% worth it. I absolutely reccommend the Top of the Rock for locals and for tourists. Really anyone who wants to remember what it is really like to live in New York.
Pros: New York City like i have never seen it before
Cons: rockefeller center (ahhh the people!!)
