View from Top of the Rock
Heading up to the top, you can enjoy the mezzanine exposition, a collection of photos and artefacts that tell the fascinating story of the Top of the Rock and Rockefeller Center. You’ll have even higher expectations when you’ve seen the exhibition! The ‘ride’ in the lift is spectacular! The lift’s roof is nice, so you can see the lift going up in the lift shaft.
Once at the top, you have a beautiful view over Manhattan, New Jersey, Brooklyn, and Queens! From the viewing area, you can see the Chrysler Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Hudson River. You can also see Central Park on the north and the Empire State Building on the south sides! The observation deck has three levels. On the third level, you have an unobstructed view without a glass enclosure, which allows you to take great photos.
The Beam Experience
The iconic photograph of 11 workers eating lunch on a steel beam, 69 stories high, was taken in 1932. The photo was captured during the construction of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the building that houses Top of the Rock. You can now follow in the footsteps of those builders in The Beam Experience. Buckle up, rise above the deck, and enjoy the views of Central Park. You can buy the Beam tickets as a Top of the Rock admission + Beam combo. Tickets for The Beam Experience are also included in the VIP package.
