5.00This was an amazing experience. It was my first time ever in New York and I wanted to see something from a skyscraper. The tallest building in Ireland is around 15 storeys high so being on the 70th floor at the observation deck was a huge thrill. We signed up tot he Rockefeller centre email newsletter and had 10% off so we used the discount and for two people it worked out at $108 which was about €93 which was good value for what it was. There was no time limit and the experience was great. We would certainly do this again and it is worth it.

5.00Very beautiful views. An immersive view. My newlywed wife and I enjoyed the 360 degree view of the New York City area. You get a true sense of scale.

1.00Absolute chaos. Arrive 10 minutes early. Came for sunset with 4:20 tickets. Line cutters… absolute chaos. Still in line with no end in sight. If you want to stand in line forever…. By all means, have fun. This is an absolute crush of humans, even for NYC.
Fantastic views

5.00Highly recommend. The views were amazing and not too crowded. I don't recommend The Beam; it's very underwhelming.

5.00We loved our visit to Top of the Rock. This was one of our first attractions to visit in NYC. Arrived early to beat the queues. There is an interesting presentation on your way to the lift. When at the top, the view was amazing. Gives you a good perspective where all the major attractions are located. Nankoo one of the guides was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out the locations. Thank you Nankoo, you were great😀
Wonderful
