Explore 3 floors with expansive, unobstructed indoor and outdoor viewing areas. The breathtaking views stretch for miles in every direction! You will take in views of New York's most famous landmarks including the Empire State Building, Central Park, the Chrysler Building, One World Trade Center, and the Statue of Liberty.

Amazing views and Top was brilliant. Organisation at bottom could have been better. Queuing system confusing outside and then turned into a free for all going into theatre.

Amazing view - cool extras if you want to pay. Rooftop bar. Can look out with no glass on front of you and no roof.

I love the top of the rock. Beautiful views of the city. We ate at the bar. The drinks and food were good. A great experience.

Top of the Rock tour was cool but Beam experience add-on did NOT include access to photos unless you paid an additional $75(!!!). Not worth the price. Better high level observation decks out there for less.

No queue. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lucky in that was a beautiful day. Definitely worth doing. Gift shop reasonably priced.

Amazing views of all around the city - downtown, midtown, there's nothing you cannot see. No queues like others such as Summit (disgraceful place) and a beautiful cafe on the first observation deck floor where they sell hot dogs etc. Amazing, thank you!
