Explore Rockefeller Center and Top of the Rock Observation Deck
This famous plaza is home to numerous shops and eateries, along with stunning sculptures, a sizable skating rink, and a fishbowl view of the NBC Studios. Even though there will definitely be large crowds, this is an experience that must be had at least once. A lit Christmas tree and skaters skating over the ice make the plaza shine during the winter holidays. But don't worry if your trip to New York doesn't happen to be during the winter. There is a lot to do all year round. Planning ahead will allow you to see a filming of the "Today" show in the morning, explore the city from the Top of the Rock Observation Deck in the afternoon, and attend a performance at Radio City Music Hall in the evening.
The Top of the Rock, according to tourists, gives some of the best views over Manhattan and is well worth the price of admission. The combo ticket, which includes admission to the observation deck and a tour of the building, is highly recommended by visitors.
