Where to take the best photos at Top of the Rock
67th Floor
Best for: Photos of the cityscape
With one side facing the Empire State Building and the other overlooking Central Park, the 67th floor observation deck is a great place to take a picture of the cityscape through the glass panels. Also click photos of you peering into one of the various tower viewers on this deck while you’re there!
69th Floor
Best for: Photos of you with NYC in the background
The observation deck on the 69th Floor is much more spacious than the one on the 67th floor. Make use of its vastness and click pictures of you against the urban jungle that is New York. Don’t miss out on clicking a picture with the “I <3 New York” decal on the glass panes along with the ones featuring all things NYC, like the taxis, donuts and a slice of New York-style pizza!
70th Floor
Best for: 360° photos
Come armed with the 360 degree photo features on your phone to this observation deck because it’s one 360° picture you wouldn’t want to miss. The open-air 70th Floor observation deck is surrounded by the best views of Manhattan with no glass panels obstructing the panoramic view.
The Beam
Best for: Recreating an iconic photo
Sit on The Beam attraction at Top of the Rock to recreate the iconic 1932 picture “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper”. Get a picture of you and your friends sitting on the steel beam as it escalates up to 12 feet above the observation deck.
Sound and Light Hallway
Best for: Surreal photos
Capture an Instagram-worthy futuristic photograph that encapsulates the synchronized lighting effects in the Sound and Light Hallway. The visual elements here, with its changing coloured lights that cast intriguing shadows and silhouettes, offer opportunities for creative, abstract, or dramatic shots.
