Rockefeller, Jr. envisioned a plaza all New Yorkers could visit to experience the city he loved. With the country facing economic catastrophe and the world between two wars, his vision for the center never wavered. Rockefeller Center and the observation deck were his gifts to Manhattan- a place for locals and visitors to marvel at the city he loved. Today, Top of the Rock Observation Deck is the most pristine summit in Manhattan and an unforgettable experience from start to finish: the crown jewel of Rockefeller Center. Upon entry, the cascading Swarovski crystal chandelier, "Joie", greets guests and sets the stage for the dazzling multimedia exhibits on the mezzanine level. Sky shuttle elevators provide a magnificent glass-ceiling light show as they transport our guests to the 67th floor. Once at the top, three stories observation decks await. The 67th floor offers an indoor viewing area from which guests can marvel at majestic structures such as the Chrysler Building, Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge, in any kind of weather. Open-air terraces on the 69th and 70th floors provide breathtaking views and permit all visitors to stand in awe of New York City from 850 feet above street level.
