Any visitor to Manhattan needs to take a walk through the complex.

The square was very clean. The flags all around, the lighted trees, the garden in the middle of the walkway, the prominent golden statue, the fountains, the marble, the sky scraper, the restaurants at the bottom - the shops!! There is just so much to see at this centre and it's all so pretty! The only downside is that since... More

This place is great if you'd like to go hang out by yourself, with friends, or with your kids. Lots of shops inside the building and all around. You can take a tour of the building or go all the way to the 'Top of the Rock'. More

Our tour guide Brad was fantastic. I don't think there is anything about Rockefeller Center that he doesn't know! Get Brad if you can. More

The area was small and had no attractions except for the Top of the Rock Observation Deck and Radio City. But I hear that ice skating and a Christmas tree make it excellent to visit at Christmas time. More
