The Rockefeller Center is a historic landmark in New York City built during the Great Depression. It consists of 19 commercial buildings over 22 acres, including 30 Rock (the GE Building) and Radio City Music Hall. 30 Rock houses the Top of the Rock observation deck and NBC headquarters. The observation deck offers panoramic views of Manhattan and was the site of a famous 1932 photo. On the plaza level is the Atlas statue supporting the heavens.

2. With construction
taking nearly 10 years at
the forefront of The Great
Depression, The
Rockefeller Center holds
important historical
landmarks of time in each
and every one of the
buildings on the 22 acre
stretch. Among the 19
commercial buildings
within the Rockefeller
Center are The G.E.
Building – also known as
30 Rock – and Radio City
Music Hall, two of the
most well-known buildings
in the complex.

3. With the comical musings of Tina Fey’s famous prime-time
television show, 30 Rock, many tourists already know the G.E.
Building is home to the Top of The Rock Observation Deck, and
the NBC Headquarters. Occupying their floors on a condominium
based contract, NBC is home to some of America’s favorite
television shows like; The Dr. Oz show, Saturday Night Live, and
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. NBC has also held contracts with
shows like Late Night with Conan O’Brien, still maintains The
Tonight Show – which included Johnny Carson and is now hosted
by Jay Leno – and aired Friends and Will & Grace.

4. The Top of The Rock
Observation Deck was built
in 1933 and underwent a 75
million dollar renovation in
2005. The deck is 20 feet
wide and located on the 70th
floor, the same location that
the momentous photograph,
“Lunchtime atop a
Skyscraper” was taken by
Charles C. Ebbes in 1932.
On ground level of 30 Rock,
within the plaza stands the
notable Statue of Atlas – a
forty-five foot bronze statue
with Atlas supporting an
armillary sphere to
represent the heavens –
sculpted by Lee Lawrie with
the collaborated help of
Rene Paul Chambellan.

5. While visiting Manhattan, a tourist will find themselves a mere 8
blocks away from The Rockefeller Center when sightseeing
Times Square. It’s a convenient location to see and a great way
to get an outstanding view of Manhattan. You’ll be able to see
the Rockefeller Center with us on the New York City See It All!
Tour, the New York City See It All! Premium Tour, and the New
York See The Lights! Tour! During the summer, when in season,
