    Manhattan is all about skylines and Top of the Rock is up there with the best.

    You'll hop in a glass elevator and whizz 70 floors up to the Top of the Rock Observatory. Comprising both indoor and outdoor spaces, this 55,000 square-foot area is made up of three observation decks that give you unobstructed, 360-degree views of the city, including Central Park, the Hudson River, and even Connecticut on a clear day. Best of all, the Art Deco building offers something the Empire State Building never will – a view of the Empire State Building.

    You can explore the exhibits and see the short films covering Rockefeller Center’s historic 10-year construction during the Great Depression in the 1930s. Then ascend to the Top in less than 1 minute with a ride up 850 feet (260 m) on the Sky Shuttle. You'll spot icons of New York's famous skyline including the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, George Washington & Brooklyn Bridges, One World Trade Center, and the Statue of Liberty.

    Your pass also includes entry to a multimedia exhibition so you can learn all about the iconic building and the man behind it – John D. Rockefeller. Visit during the day for amazing panoramic views or at night to see the electric city all lit up.
