Over
Korte feiten: A large complex spans 22 acres between 48th and 51st Streets, featuring 19 commercial buildings. It hosts over 40 sculptures and murals created by prominent artists like Lee Lawrie and José Maria Sert.
Hoogtepunten: During winter, the plaza transforms with a 75-foot Christmas tree decorated with 50,000 LED lights and a giant Swarovski star. The famous ice skating rink below draws over 250,000 skaters annually providing a magical urban winter experience.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking around and standing while admiring sculptures.
- The Top of the Rock deck offers great skyline photos, especially at sunset.
- Avoid weekends and mid-December afternoons for less crowd around the rink and plaza.
- Skip weekday mornings since many shops around are just opening and the vibe is less lively.
