Top of the Rock is the observation deck on the upper floors of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the main tower of Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. OpenStreetMap maps it as a viewpoint at 30 Rockefeller Plaza and Wikidata gives a matching point. The operator's websites refused automated reading on 3 October 2026, so no hours, floor numbers or ticket rules are stated here; check the operator before you go. SkyGate tickets on XTOUR admit to it, with some options adding extra attractions.
