Artyom Karapetov: Bring a nice camera to shoot in low light and come with a few people so you guys make pics of each other. Worth it, especially for tourists! Many figures look real (some not) but overall pretty cool!

Luz Andujar: Do not, DO NOT... Get on the way pf the camera lady ..
B&H Photo Video: Want to test out that new telephoto lens and your camera's tracking focus abilities? Try it at the Rockefeller Center skating rink. Try using your center focus point and panning with the subject.
Daniel Karran: No place like Rockefeller Center. A bit crowded with tourists, but it a must do if you're in New York- even if it's just once!
Lufthansa: The construction time of the Rockefeller Center started in 1931 and took 9 years until 1940. Christmas Day 1936 in the ice-skating rink at the Lower Plaza was installed for the first time.
