Top of the Rock Observation Deck NYC Tickets & Tours 2025

General Admission typically starts around €37–€40 and varies by date, time, and demand (sunset and holidays price higher). Combo and VIP tours cost more. Always check your selected date on the product page for live pricing.

Timed entry to floors 67–70, including indoor viewing galleries and the iconic open-air 70th-floor terrace. Some products add guided Rockefeller Center tours or multi-attraction access—read the inclusions before booking.

Enter via the Top of the Rock lobby at Rockefeller Center (30 Rockefeller Plaza). Follow wayfinding for “Observation Deck.” The office lobby is not an entrance to the attraction.

Hours vary seasonally—check your ticket date for the latest schedule. Sunset is the most popular (and busiest). Early morning tends to be calmer and can be cheaper. To see day-to-night, book a slot 60–90 minutes before sunset.

Signature views include a head-on Empire State Building, sweeping Central Park, Midtown icons (St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Chrysler Building, Bryant Park), and long views to the rivers—plus open-air photos from the 70th floor.

Take the B/D/F/M to 47–50 Sts–Rockefeller Ctr. Also nearby: 49 St (N/R/W) and 5 Av/53 St (E/M). Follow signs to Rockefeller Center and the Observation Deck entrance.

Yes, mobile QR tickets are accepted. Keep your screen brightness high or screenshot the code in case of weak signal. Standard tickets are single entry unless your product says otherwise.

Most visits last 60–90 minutes. Expect airport-style security. Large bags/luggage aren’t allowed—travel light for faster entry and smoother movement on the decks.

Yes. Elevators serve the observatory, strollers are generally allowed indoors, and staff can advise on the smoothest routes. Keep children close near terrace barriers and on windy days.

Handheld photography is welcome. Tripods, large lighting, and bulky professional gear are usually restricted for safety. Always follow staff instructions and posted guidance on the deck.

Operations continue in most conditions, but specific areas may close briefly for safety during high winds or storms. Night visits emphasize the city lights and are less affected by cloud cover than daytime distance views.

Some multi-attraction passes include entry, but you may still need a reservation window. Check your pass details for activation rules, blackout dates, and how to secure a time slot.

No formal dress code, but stable footwear and layers are recommended—the open-air terrace can be windy and cooler than street level, especially at night and in winter.

Many third-party tickets include free cancellation up to 24 hours before the time slot; premium/VIP experiences may be stricter. Check the policy on your specific product page before purchase.
