A quiet moment above Central Park — the view is breathtaking. New York feels loud, restless, and alive from below, but from the Top of the Rock, there’s this calm perspective that makes you fall in love with the city all over again. Absolutely worth it !

It was open even on Sunday, and the guidance was smooth. The view was amazing — I could see almost 360 degrees without any fences or obstructions. I’d definitely recommend it to my friends.

We had a great time. Eat before you go in. Cafe is pricy. Plan on being there at opening to have ample time and avoid a crowd for an hour or two. Sooooo much to see so plan a second visit and wear comfy shoes.
