Top of The Rock day or night

In your opinion,Is better to go there at day or night? what about the views in differents hours?

Top of The Rock day or night

We went 9am on a Sunday morning and the view of Central Park was terrific. There was still some color to the leaves and I remember thinking, it would not look nearly as nice once the leaves were gone.

We wanted to go back at night but never did. I can only imagine how spectacular that would be. So may I suggest, do both ! Or, go near dusk and stay through dark !

Have fun.

Go about 30 minutes before the sun sets. You get to see day, as the light changes ans night.

We went at night and it was fantastic.But I did wonder what the day view would be like.The dusk idea is very good-getting best of both day and night.

We just read your GREAT advice. Thanks LarryD, nyc10025 and Trent. Promises that we%26#39;ll remember you at sunset in Top of The Rock.

On my recent trip i went up early morning and at night both amazing fantastic views.

I%26#39;m with nyc10025 on this one. What we did was to go up about an hour before the sun sets. That way you get to see the city during daylight. As there is no time limit to how long you spend up there, you can then watch the lights come on across the city and see the transformation from day to night and get the best of both worlds.

We were there last Thursday at night and it was beautiful. Our plan (and reserved time) had been to be there for the sunset, but 10 inches of snow in KCMO and a malfunctioning jet engine got us into NYC 4 hours late. We couldn%26#39;t make it until after dark, but enjoyed the experience anyway. Be sure to go up the extra set of stairs to the tip-top! No wind breaks up there so you can really get that top of the world feel.
