André CherinDecember 12, 2013Simply incredible. Anytime of the day, the tree is beautiful. There's no way to visit NY and not see the most famous tree of the city.
Brad HagerDecember 31, 2015So beautiful and festive, great music and sites. Great people watching with plenty of Christmas spirit and cheer.
Matt HNovember 30, 2011Always a great trip...but the line for the ice skating can take hours so you might want to get in there early in the day if you actually want to get on the ice
Rebecca BrownDecember 27, 2012"The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear" With Buddy the Elf's love of Christmas, it was only right that he was brought here to see the largest Christmas Tree in NY.
James PittmanDecember 14, 2014Go Monday through Thursday. Less crowded. Or early in the morning before the sun rises to avoid heavy crowds.
Jonny KriegerDecember 30, 2023This city is a madhouse! But this is the place with the best atmosphere for the New Year and Christmas holidays. It's wonderful here.
Hugh WarrenDecember 26, 2019An American tradition. Lots to do in the area. One tip- public rest rooms are few and far between.
A SJanuary 4, 2016As spectacular as always! The Christmas lights show next door was a great addition to all that you can see here.
LuborJanuary 4, 2015Very busy, you can't almost walk...the crowd is one big organism. Kevin would never meet up with mom here at the end of Home Alone 2...they would simply not find each other :).
Adam BakerNovember 24, 2011This is the meaning of Christmas, where the tree gets lit at the most popular place in the world. Rockefeller Center. I can't wait to see the tree light up next week.
NoviDecember 13, 2018Such touristy thing to be there but duhh still amazing and yes body heat will keep you warm 😉😂
Dawn StarDecember 14, 2011Go on a WEEK NIGHT, especially around 10:00 P.M. - so nice! ....YOU'LL HAVE LIKE 70% less people getting in your way!!!!
Scott KleinbergDecember 30, 2016How can you not love the most beautiful Christmas tree in the world?
John SDecember 31, 2015Selfie Sticks should be Banned - We had an amazing night out despite the Morons walking down the Crowded street with these obnoxious selfie stick.
Fatou BahDecember 11, 2014Super crowded even in a snowy NYC night but the view of the tree is absolutely worth it.- J PDecember 6, 2015The grandaddy of all Christmas Trees has become as synonymous with NY at Christmas as Home Alone 2 and dodging shoppers on Fifth Avenue.
ALI ALAMEERDecember 18, 2014To enjoy the scene, come after midnight ... not crowded & relaxed atmosphere
AnnaDecember 26, 2015You can't be in NYC during the holidays and not see the tree no matter how touristy it is
Andrew SpringerDecember 12, 2010It was packed! Best place to see tree without crowds is to approach from Today Show studios/Nintendo World... avoid 5th Avenue!!!
NBC Nightly NewsNovember 18, 2011It's that time of year again... the tree is up! Come to Rockefeller Center and see it now or after it's lit on November 30th. Happy Holidays!
Movie MayorDecember 24, 2010Knowing her son's love of Christmas trees, Kevin McCallister's mom heads straight to the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree to reunite with her lost son in 1992's "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" Read more
It's beautiful and very popular. So come dress warm.
Trevyn GarlandDecember 19, 2011Go inside the NBC Universal studio and go upstairs. Amazing view and there's like 10 people up here!
Syndicate Media GroupDecember 2, 2011NYC [See] The Tree has been up since 11/30, lit up by the President himself and is sparkling brighter than ever!
MC Photo & TravelDecember 15, 2013The tree is not lit 24 hours anymore. It goes off @11 or so at night.
- RoseDecember 12, 2013Lights go out at 11:30! Snap your pics before they pull the plug you late nighters
The New York Daily NewsNovember 30, 2010PHOTO: Check out the crowd that gathered to view the Christmas tree and ice skaters at Rockefeller Plaza back in 1957, at the link! Read more
Sean MolinDecember 26, 2014Pretty, but extremely busy. Ice skating is OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive with long waits.
The Worlds Most Famous Christmas Tree! Literally, The Most Magical Place on Earth!
CioDecember 1, 2011Lights are only on from 4:30pm until 10:30pm nightly. That's right, the lights are not on all night, and the guards don't want to hear that you came all the way from Jersey. And don't blame Obama.- Adam BakerJanuary 9, 2012its the greatest place to spend christmas. looking at the rockefeller xmas.
Ken GlassDecember 26, 2010... prob the best time to visit is after 10pm -- otherwise expect tourist-gridlock !!!
Mike BloombergDecember 9, 2011On 11/30/11, I helped light the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. Happy Holidays, NYC!
