Description

Join a unique tour of the Rockefeller Center that runs daily. Dive into the rich history and breathtaking artistry of New York's most famous Art Deco landmark.

Learn about John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s vision for a cultural center in Midtown Manhattan. Discover the great works of art and architecture that comprise the Rockefeller Center today. A fun, expert guide will lead the way through the famous streets, buildings and artworks that make up this wondrous “city within a city”. Hear the guide clearly via a Bluetooth speaker as you learn the inspiring stories behind these sights.

Unveil the treasured and inspiring stories behind them. Follow your guide and listen with your own personal headset to ensure that you have a clear, uninterrupted experience. This closed-circuit connection makes the tour unique amidst the hustle and bustle of New York City. With such a wealth of ground to cover, it would be impossible to see it all in just over an hour, therefore each tour differs slightly from the next.

Every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30am, you can experience the Rockefeller Center Tour Jr., a kid-friendly version of the Rockefeller Center Tour.

Tour Highlights:

- World-famous skating rink at the heart of Rockefeller Center
- Sculptures of Isamu Noguchi, Michio Ihara and Paul Manship including his iconic Prometheus statue
- The heroic statue of Atlas, just steps from St. Patrick’s Cathedral
- The Channel Gardens, offering cool fountains in summer and dramatic views from 5th Avenue of the majestic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in winter
- The Eastern Airlines Building, current home of the Today Show Studio
- The International Building with relief sculptures by Lee Lawrie, Gaston Lachaise, Attillio Piccirilli and Leo Lentelli
