Amandeep GillDecember 14, 2014If you like art, the tour is highly recommended. Great information behind the art in the Centre
Ramsey MohsenNovember 14, 2012You must go into the lobby and see the "animated" painting/mural. Make sure you ask the security guards how and where you're supposed to walk in order to see it animate.
Sara 🌈⚔🍾December 28, 2015Obviously always full of tourists, but a classic NYC spot. Love that Christmas tree!
Kari OsborneDecember 22, 2015Beautiful at night during Christmas, but be prepared for the long lines and large crowd.

Andreas KanakisApril 3, 2015Classic among classics, one of THE places to go in NYC.

Megan BenderJune 15, 2010NBC tour was fantastic! The SNL studio was nothing I expected and I was astounded by the vast history of NBC. Also, go up to the "Top of the Rock" for the (arguably) best view of New York City. Read more

Ashtyn KarachristosFebruary 13, 2013One of my favorite places in the world! If your a girl, make sure to stop off at the Free People store! Two Stories!
Great views, whenever I'm in New York I always come here, plenty of good coffee shops around too
John WMay 30, 2016So Beautiful with Old Glory flying on all the flagpoles around the ice rink area and on all the buildings leading in to the Plaza
Meg DaileyDecember 23, 2010Look for the photographer in the center concourse where they take a professional photo of you and the tree. They make it look like you are the only ones there. Love it! Done it the last 5 yrs w/ my BF
Arlene MurphyJanuary 3, 2014Always like seeing it during the different seasons. it is truly a spot worth the visit and picture taking.- Murat ONUKAugust 8, 2014Better than going to the Empire State Building. The best place to get a view on New York City.
Lauren McEachranMarch 10, 2013Awesome views, great staff. Loved the 3 different levels of viewing :-)
Thomas VandermeirenSeptember 12, 2015Take a tour with Jonathan as your guide... The neigh-on encyclopaedic knowledge he possesses makes this place come to life.
Go inside 30 Rock and go to the basement. Lots of dining options. With back facing Starbucks, bathrooms are down the hall on the right.
Teddy TheDecember 4, 2018The Rink was a blast. Even though small in size, but it's a good experience for the kids.
Radio City Christmas SpectacularOctober 6, 2011During the holidays, the tree radiates Christmas spirit throughout Rockefeller Center. Whether you’re skating or just watching, the ice rink is lots of frozen fun!
KibooNovember 30, 2012The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree uses 30,000 LED lights. These use only 35% of the energy that traditional lights do.
Andrew BC 翁 ÔNGOctober 3, 2014Wow magnificent view over the Central Park from top of the Rockefeller building

Amina EhsanOctober 4, 2014Hello nyc. You are beautiful. Rockfeller was made with such great innovation and has the best view in nyc. A must see place.
Free wifi from both the Center and Starbucks. Good place to work. Seats can be hard to come by though.
Michael ConstantineDecember 29, 2015In love with this city, the plaza, the shopping, the crowd, just astounding
Todd A WilliamsNovember 24, 2014Go ice skating and then go up to the top of the rock. Great place during the holiday season.
Michelle BuiceDecember 4, 2019We went here a few times as kids. It’s expensive, but worth it for the experience.
- KibooNovember 1, 2012What would the holidays be without ice skating at Rockefeller Center? Go during lunch to skate for only $5 till November. And bring a date ;)
Carola WüstAugust 14, 2014Nice view of Manhattan from the top of the Rock - ask if the sight is good, before you go up!
This is a tourist trap, but locals come here too! Rockefeller Center is a NYC staple.

Camp BroadwayApril 23, 2012Not only fun during the holidays. Go during warm weather or autumn for breathtaking views of Central Park from the "Top of the Rock."
An other landmark of the city. But always busy no matter the season. Don't bring babies, strollers or big bags
Ileana CandelaSeptember 11, 2013The view is amazing!! You should try with your someone ♥ To romantic like the movie " I've Got an Email "
