About Rockefeller Center

Rockefeller Center covers 22 acres of Midtown between 48th and 51st Streets, and its 14 original Art Deco buildings, commissioned by the Rockefeller family, rose during the Great Depression era. The plaza is free to walk, and you can look for the Prometheus and Atlas statues and the bas-reliefs set over doorways on the limestone buildings. Tickets get you up to the Top of the Rock observation decks, onto the ice rink in the sunken plaza, or into Radio City Music Hall.
