Top of The Rock Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Nearly 850 feet above street level, occupying the 67th, 69th, and 70th floors, Top of the Rock offers extraordinary 360- degree views. From the observation decks, visitors see the Empire State Building from close up, the whole of Central Park, and even the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge.

• When the RCA Building (now known as 30 Rock) opened in 1933, the observation deck was the first attraction to open to the public.

• Inspired by a luxury cruise liner, it had Adirondack chairs, potted evergreens, and an outdoor refreshment bar to go with the knockout vista — and it became a sensation, drawing 1,300 visitors a day.

• The deck was closed in 1986, and after extensive refurbishing inside and out, reopened as Top of the Rock on November 1, 2005.

• Famous faces have been spotted on the rooftop of 30 Rock over the years… From the early days, you can see Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly singing "New York, New York" in 1949's On the Town. Jimmy Fallon, Jon Hamm, Cameron Diaz, and U2 have all taken in the views.

• When designs for Rockefeller Center were first unveiled, the influential critic and historian Lewis Mumford said they were “bad with an almost juvenile badness.” Yet, as the project neared completion it became increasingly popular with the public, prompting Ira Gershwin to pen “They all laughed at Rockefeller Center, now they’re fighting to get in…Ha, ha, ha! Who’s got the last laugh now?”

• Rockefeller Center received NYC Landmark status in 1985 and was recognized as a National Historic Landmark in 1987.
