Skating at Rockefeller Center
This complex of Art Deco buildings and plazas between 47th and 50th Streets and 5th and 7th Avenues exemplifies the culture and identity of New York City. In addition to world-class architecture and art, the Center is home to NBC Studios, a giant X-mas tree every winter and a famous ice-skating rink.

Rockefeller Center was built in the Great Depression. A walking tour of the Center gives visitors a chance to learn about this complex’s fascinating history while getting a look at the many works of art it contains. The nearby Radio City Music Hall is another storied Art Deco masterpiece visitors may tour, with a good chance of seeing the world-famous Rockettes. Family friendly tours of the NBC studios allow guests a behind-the-scenes look at the Today Show, Saturday Night Live and much more. Additionally, Rockefeller Center is the home of year-round dining and shopping fun.
