Views include some of the city’s most prominent landmarks from the Chrysler Building to the Brooklyn Bridge; from Central Park to the Hudson and East River. Before making your way to the top in less than a minute, on an elevator ride you’ll remember forever, especially if you look up as you go. You will have the chance to visit the Mezzanine Exhibit which is filled with fascinating photos, information, and artifacts, that walks you through the planning and creation of Rockefeller Center. A theatre provides a quick video on the history of NBC and Rockefeller Center. Along your journey you will also experience a one of a kind Swarovski crystal display exclusively designed for Top of the Rock, the Joie Chandelier which is made of 14,000 crystals. It soars 3 stories above the Grand Atrium lobby and when you look at it upside down, you’ll see it’s in the shape of 30 Rock. As well as the Radiance Wall which consists of glass panels, blown glass, crystal clusters, and fiber-optic lighting. And if you look closely you’ll find tiny crystal figurines and animals hidden within it.
