Great experience. We really appreciated the opportunity to reschedule the visit because, due to snow, the day we booked would not have been possible to see the view. We give 4 stars just because ice was not possible to climb to floor 70.
Amazing city views!

Great views of the city. Was crowded and hard to get to a place to take pictures because of rude tourists who wouldn't move as they were watching sunset. We did the beam photo as well which resulted in a good picture but you pay for the picture to be taken and then have to order and pay for the picture. It was a great experience but a bit pricey for what you get.
Very good

Not worth the money. We used our Go City pass, had a bit of a wait to get in to watch a film then go up in the lift. Yes the views are good, but similar to the other observation decks ( except Central Park view is unique) however, we paid $25 for the chance to ride on the beam, no phones allowed, decent enough but lasts around 90 seconds at most. Then you get your photo taken and a code to scan to get the photo. Sadly when we logged in, the photo was $40 dollars and only two choices! Absolute shocking price!! The best bit of the whole experience was sitting out on the patio talking to the other tourists with a glass of wine (that you pay for) Just don’t waste your money.
Fantastic

It’s a pretty expensive attraction, like most views in New York, but the Top of the Rock is definitely worth it. It offers a different and very complementary angle on the city, with an absolutely impressive overview. In my opinion, it is one of the best observatories in New York, thanks in part to the dual perspective: Central Park on one side and the Empire State Building on the other, which is quite unique. We went with four teenagers and young adults, and they all loved the experience. The terraces allow you to enjoy the panorama and take great photos. Despite the price, it is a memorable visit that I definitely recommend, especially for a first discovery of the city.
