About this experience
High on top of the famous 30 Rockefeller Plaza building, Top of the Rock’s three levels of indoor and outdoor observation decks deliver spectacular, unobstructed views of the New York City skyline. Take your experience to new heights on The Beam, which rises 12 feet above the observation deck and rotates 180 degrees, offering panoramic sights of Central Park and beyond. You will also have the opportunity to recreate the legendary 1932 photograph, Lunch Atop a Skyscraper.

What is the difference between the daytime, sunset, and evening tickets?
