Rockefeller Center is a large complex consisting of 19 commercial buildings in downtown Manhattan. NBC’s headquarters as well as many other media is located in the building. Columbia University leased the land to the Rockefeller family in 1928 who intended to build an Opera there. Due to Great Depression from 1929, a business center was built instead – the Rockefeller Center. Most famous parts of the building are vantage points on the 67th, 69th and 70th floor – there is an open debate whether the view is better from the Empire State Building or Rockefeller Center.
Whole Manhattan can be seen from the building. We recommend visiting the center during the day because it also offers a beautiful view of Central Park. The famous Christmas tree is placed in front of the building during Christmas and New Year’s holiday. The lookout is a romantic spot, and you should not miss ice skating neither.
The standard ticket price for climbing a lookout is $ 38.
Seniors over the age of 62 pay $ 36
Children from 6 to 12 years old pay 32 $,
Children up to 6 years do not pay the entrance fee.
