Top of the Rock + Skylift Tickets
Why Buy Tickets for The Top of the Rock and Skylift?
Can you imagine having the Manhattan skyline at your feet? This experience gives you full access to the 3 observation decks at the Top of the Rock, whose terraces are strategically positioned to face all four cardinal directions. From there, you’ll be able to admire world-famous architectural landmarks such as the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty, as well as enjoying the best panoramic view of the vast expanse of Central Park.
The highlight of this experience is the ride on the Skylift, a spectacular circular, open-air platform that rotates slowly as it ascends above the 70th floor. With no glass or railings to block your view, you’ll feel the adrenaline rush of floating above the skyscrapers of the Big Apple.
The entire tour usually lasts between 45 and 60 minutes, but once inside you can stay as long as you like to enjoy the panoramic views.
Skylift: The Best Views at Rockefeller Centre
- You’ll find yourself on a spectacular circular, glass-enclosed platform that rotates slowly 360 degrees as it rises almost 10 m (32.80 ft) above the 70th floor.
- As it reaches its full height, with no roof or railings to block your view, you’ll feel the pure adrenaline rush of floating above Manhattan’s skyscrapers.
- It’s the perfect viewing platform for capturing unobstructed panoramic photos and videos of New York. Make the most of this truly unique location!
