Amazing views of all around the city - downtown, midtown, there's nothing you cannot see. No queues like others such as Summit (disgraceful place) and a beautiful cafe on the first observation deck floor where they sell hot dogs etc. Amazing, thank you!

While it was very windy the views and experience was amazing! I especially enjoyed the history presentation of rockerfeller in the beginning.

A must do especially if you have a sunny day, like we did..whole experience was amazing but tad expensive. We went later in the day when it wasn't so crowded and avoid weekends.

Going to the Top of the Rock, an iconic location, a few weeks before Christmas, was very cool. The TOTR offers amazing views of the entire city, from downtown to the top of Central Park. Entry with our tickets was easy and the staff were very friendly. One individual, Nankoo, was especially helpful and friendly. We could tell he loved his job interacting with tourists. Thank you Nankoo!

Amazing views of Manhattan! Top of the Rock offers a perfect close-up look at the Empire State Building and a great mix of indoor and outdoor areas. Smooth entry, plenty of space, and absolutely worth the visit—especially around sunset.
