Top of the Rock VIP Pass Tickets
The Top of the Rock Observation Deck VIP Pass with the Beam & Skylift Experience delivers Manhattan's most comprehensive observation deck visit. You'll skip the standard queues for priority access to the 67th, 69th and 70th floors of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, where 360-degree views stretch from Central Park to the Empire State Building. The VIP treatment includes exclusive experiences you won't find on regular tickets.
Your adventure begins at the VIP Lounge on 52 W 50th Street with dedicated check-in and a guide who accompanies you to the observation platforms. Beyond the panoramic city views, you'll experience two unique attractions: sitting on a recreation of the famous 1932 construction worker's beam for professional photos, and ascending the Skylift platform above the 70th floor for perspectives you can't get anywhere else in New York. A complimentary drink at the Weather Room on the 67th floor and 20% off at the gift shop round out this premium experience.
