 Top of the Rock Observation Deck Facts:



  • Top of the Rock is a six-level observatory atop the Art Deco skyscraper, 30 Rockefeller Plaza

  • The upper decks are 850 feet above street level

  • Views include some of the city’s most prominent landmarks from the Chrysler Building to the Brooklyn Bridge and from Central Park to the Hudson and East Rivers

  • Observation deck was first opened to the public in 1933

  • Deck was originally designed to evoke the upper decks of a 1930s grand ocean liner, outfitted with deck chairs, goose-neck fixtures, and large air conditioning vents intended to look like the stacks on a ship’s deck


Tips for Visiting The Top of the Rock Observation Deck:



  • During the day, you can get a great view of Central Park

  • During the evening, you can enjoy the glowing city lights, including a great view of the Empire State Building

  • If you arrive shortly before sunset, you can enjoy both the day and night views

  • The security guards can be very helpful in identifying landmarks if you're not sure what you're looking at

  • Be sure to climb up from the main deck to enjoy the view from a slightly higher and better pictures. Otherwise, you have to shoot through glass.

  • There are both indoor and outdoor viewing areas, which is great when it's cold out.
