Such a neat experience to see the city from the sky! It was hazy the afternoon we went so our visibility was a bit limited, but it was still great! The hot chocolate with rum in the "weather room" was yum!

Once I got there the views were amazing and it was such a clear day which I admit I wasn't really expecting. Would have perhaps needed a bit of snow on the rooftops to get perhaps more impressive photos. I am going to try and get at least one of the photos framed or made into canvas pictures.

Top things to do in New York

Situated in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, soaring high above the city, is 30 Rockefeller Plaza. With an annual footfall of 125 million people—for the Christmas tree, performances in the outside plaza, or to climb up to the observation decks at 850 feet for 360° views of the city—this is one of the must-do visits in New York City.

Sitting on top of the 30 Rockefeller Center is Top of the Rock, a three-floor observation deck with indoor and outdoor viewing decks, offering unrivaled views of the city. This comprehensive guide provides everything you need to plan your visit, including tickets, visitor tips, and highlights.
