We booked into the first visit to Top of the Rock, which was the best decision we made. It was a beautiful, fresh morning and the view was beautiful! We really enjoyed being able to see the Empire State from Top of the Rock. It was also great that in photos we didn't have a wire fence in the background as it's surrounded by glass.

We visited 11th January at 2pm. Easy access and quiet at this time of year. Great views of the city and obviously the Empire State building. It got busier as we waited for the sunset, but still able to get great photographs without being squashed up! Very enjoyable way to pass a few hours in an iconic venue!
