This was an amazing experience. It was my first time ever in New York and I wanted to see something from a skyscraper. The tallest building in Ireland is around 15 storeys high so being on the 70th floor at the observation deck was a huge thrill. We signed up tot he Rockefeller centre email newsletter and had 10% off so we used the discount and for two people it worked out at $108 which was about €93 which was good value for what it was. There was no time limit and the experience was great. We would certainly do this again and it is worth it.

Very beautiful views. An immersive view. My newlywed wife and I enjoyed the 360 degree view of the New York City area. You get a true sense of scale.

Highly recommend. The views were amazing and not too crowded. I don't recommend The Beam; it's very underwhelming.

We loved our visit to Top of the Rock. This was one of our first attractions to visit in NYC. Arrived early to beat the queues. There is an interesting presentation on your way to the lift. When at the top, the view was amazing. Gives you a good perspective where all the major attractions are located. Nankoo one of the guides was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out the locations. Thank you Nankoo, you were great😀

Book either an early entry time or a late evening time to beat the crowds. Book plenty of time in advance. Great views of Central Park, the Empire State Building, the Hudson River and the East River.

We did the Top of the Rock with Skylift and it was amazing. The only way to truly see NYC is from above. The Skylift experience topped it all off with amazing views and pictures. This was the only observation experience we did while in NY, so it is hard to compare, but I cant imagine beating T of the R. Leave time to explore everything in Rockerfeller Center.
