Top of the Rock Observation Deck

This iconic landmark, part of the Art Deco masterpiece that is Rockefeller Center, provides not just a view, but a visual history lesson, stretching from the Gilded Age to the modern era. For a truly memorable experience, upgrade to the Beam Experience and be lifted high above the deck, capturing a once-in-a-lifetime photo recreating the famous 'Lunch atop a Skyscraper' – an homage to the daring ironworkers who shaped the city's skyline.
