Top of the Rock
A 360 Degree View
Back to Top of the Rock
Most tourists will go to the Empire State but they're wrong! They should go to the Top of the Rock. It offers a great view. You can take a pic with the empire state in the background. The whole building was very classy with clear glass unlike the Empire State. The best thing was the elevator! It has lights and it goes directly to the top unlike the Empire State, you have to take like 3 elevators! Go to the Top of the Rock is way better than the Empire State.

We had a wonderful time visiting the Top of the Rock. It was a beautiful day in NYC… one of those magical days that you could "eat with a spoon". We visited the Empire State building on our previous trip. That was memorable but the the view from the Rockefeller Center, I felt, was better as you could see the Empire State building. Also, less crowded... I hate crowds. We bought our tickets online through http://www.trustedtours.com/store/New-York-C88.aspx and save a few bucks. If you go, it's not a bad idea to take a sweater or wind breaker. If it's in the winter, I'm sure you'll want something MUCH heavier. Have fun!

It is definately a view to remember. On a clear day you can see for miles. On one side you have an amazing view of Central Park. On the other side you have an amazing view of the Empire State Building with lower Manhattan behind it. There were no long lines to wait in. You can be up there as long as you want. I would say best view in NYC. I highly, highly recommend a trip to the Top of the Rock.

The night I was asked will you marry me? and presented with an engagement ring happened at the Top of the Rock, after saying I will, he had a reservation for dinner at the Rainbow Room, the most romantic night of my life, the strolling minstrels played a love song requested by my new fiancee. Oh! what a night to remember. Think about that guys, what a way to propose to your special some one.

Went up around 10pm on a clear October night. No waiting and very few people visiting at that time.

We hadnt bought tickets beforehand. There wasnt any rush to get the tickets either, when we got there. But it was a very foggy day and staff quite honestly discouraged every1 from going up there. Tickets already bought were refunded. Those (like us) who came to buy tickets were given a discount coupon to be used for the net visit. Nice hospitality.

The view was beautiful. It was pretty inexpensive, and there was a small museum that added to the experience. Right inside NBC studios. I loved it!

It is almost like begin on Top of the world. This view is much better then going to the Empire State Building. Even though you can see everything there. It is much better her. Plus the elevator plays video on the celing, it is really cool. Also good history as well.

I don't want to give away the secret to how fabulous the "Top of the Rock" is. The view is breathtaking... so much more pleasant then visiting the Empire State Building due to the crowds,lines and heat while waiting to get upstairs. When you get in the elevator look up at the little show on the ceiling.
