A New York Christmas tradition that lives up to every expectation. The lights are dazzling and the whole plaza has an incredible festive atmosphere. Don't miss the ice skating rink below!

Iconic for a reason. The tree is massive and the surrounding light displays along the plaza are equally impressive. Highly recommend visiting after dark for the full effect.

Absolutely breathtaking! The Rockefeller tree is even more stunning in person. We came twice this season and it was magical both times. The Swarovski star on top glistens beautifully.

Came all the way from London and this was the highlight of our NYC trip. The lights reflect beautifully off the ice rink. A must-see for any holiday visitor.

Beautiful tree, but be prepared for crowds! We went on a weeknight and it was still very busy. Worth it though — the scale of the decorations is something you have to see in person.
