Amazing! Much better than the Edge or Empire. There are three levels that come with the basic entry fee. The first has a nice bar and lounge area with a view, the second is a 360 view with a glass barrier, and the third is a completely unobstructed view that is unbeatable. Even going up to the top is a cool experience, they make a whole production just getting up there. Once at the top there's a couple cool things to do that cost extra, and a nice bar. If you can only do one view in the city this is the one to choose.
Breathtaking Views and Unforgettable Experience at Top of the Rock! We had an amazing sky lift experience which is a 360 revolving experience on 82 floor. We had an amazing time visiting the Top of the Rock Observation Deck. The views of New York City from up there are absolutely stunning — you can see the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the city skyline like nowhere else. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The lines moved quickly, and the elevator ride was fast and fun. That takes you to the highest floor. Whether visiting during the day or at sunset, this spot is a must-see for anyone coming to NYC. Highly recommend booking tickets in advance to avoid wait times. Can’t wait to come back!
The best one in my opinion. You need to book in advance even if you have bought the New York Pass. The experience starts with a miniature version of the building and then they let you inside a small room to watch a brief video about its history. The people who let us in and supervised the queue were very kind, patient and friendly. There are three levels, you can find a bar on the first one with an outside sitting area with nice views towards the Empire State. On the second floor you will be able to seat on a rotating beam to recreate the famous picture of the builders on the beam at an extra cost of 20$. You can also get on a new rotating lift made of glass but you also need to pay an extra amount. I recommend going before the sunset to enjoy day and night views. It is breathtaking to see the city light up at night and I can’t recommend it enough! However, it will be very busy so be very patient and expect to deal with rude people pushing you all the time. The prices of the gift shop are reasonable and the souvenirs are very nice, so do check it out before you leave!
A Beautiful Spot with Great Food and Warm Service We had a wonderful experience at Top of the Rock! The customer service was warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious — we especially loved how tender and flavorful the meat was. And the eggrolls is definitely one you should try! It made our stay extra enjoyable! One of the best parts of this place is the view — absolutely stunning! It’s the kind of peaceful, scenic spot that makes you want to linger longer. The only downside we noticed was that the restaurant could use a little more attention when it comes to cleanliness. There were some areas, especially the wooden floors, that had visible dirt and grime. It didn’t ruin our experience, but it’s something worth improving. Overall, we truly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be coming back. Great food, great vibes, and great views!
Everything was great! I bought my ticket online, and there was hardly any waiting time. The initial experience was quite entertaining. The views from above are simply breathtaking, especially because of their location. During sunset, it is filled with people, from earlier hours who don’t seem to move much. So, I recommend finding a good spot to observe the sunset and staying put, because it can be tough to find another good viewpoint..
