Rockefeller Center Tour Tickets Overview
Rockefeller Center is one of the great achievements of 20th-century American architecture and urban planning. Built between 1930 and 1940 during the Great Depression, the complex covers 22 acres and 19 buildings of Art Deco architecture in the heart of Midtown Manhattan between 48th and 51st Streets. The development was commissioned by John D. Rockefeller Jr. after the Metropolitan Opera withdrew from the original plan.
The architecture at street level is as remarkable as anything above it. The Channel Gardens leading from Fifth Avenue to the central plaza are lined with seasonal plantings. The sunken Lower Plaza, home to the famous Prometheus statue and the winter ice rink, has been one of New York's most photographed spaces since it opened in 1934. The buildings are covered in murals, bas-reliefs, sculptures and mosaics that were commissioned from the most significant American artists of the 1930s.
30 Rock, the central building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, is 259 metres tall and holds NBC Studios where Saturday Night Live and other programmes have been produced for decades. Studio tours and Top of the Rock access are available from the concourse level. The complex also holds Radio City Music Hall, the Rainbow Room and dozens of restaurants, shops and cultural venues that make it a complete urban destination in itself.
