There are three levels of observation decks to explore at Top of the Rock. The first deck includes the Radiance Wall and our gift shop. The second, featuring the Breezeway, is entirely outdoors. The third observation deck, located on the 70th floor open-air roof deck, is completely outdoors and free of a glass enclosure, making it perfect for photos. From the mezzanine exhibit, to the elevator ride, to the interactive Breezeway, there’s a lot to see on your way to the Top. Explore what you’ll see leading up to the view.
