Rockefeller Center Tour

Rockefeller Center is known as a “city within a city” for a reason. This cultural center comprises 19 commercial buildings spread out over a space of 89,000 square meters! Rockefeller Center has achieved National Landmark Status, and is recognized not only for its entertainment value and commercial use, but for its art-deco architecture and history as a Great-Depression era project taken on by Rockefeller himself, as a gift to his beloved Manhattan.

What’s so great about Rockefeller Center? It houses the following:

- GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, or “30 Rock” as it’s affectionately known. It’s the namesake of Tina Fey’s hilarious sitcom, as well as home to NBC’s New York Studios—where SNL and other awesome late night shows are filmed

- Radio City Music Hall: Home of the legendary Radio City Rockettes and the Radio City Christmas Spectacular

- The Associated Press Building, at 50 Rockefeller Plaza, a hub for much of the world’s international news

- Recognizable works of art such as Paul Manship’s gilded bronze sculpture of Prometheus giving the gift of fire to humankind; The AP’s News by Isamu Noguchi; and American Progress, a huge fresco-style mural depicting the founding of America

- A World-famous, outdoor ice skating rink and Christmas tree (seasonally, of course!)

Bring your family to Rockefeller Center, one of New York’s most-filmed and happening locations for some fun times and to really feel the buzz of the city! Tours of this awesome complex depart from 30 Rockefeller Plaza at the entrance to Top of the Rock.
