My children truly like the 'Lego' store there. He even asked me to bring him there during Christmas for choosing his Christmas Gifts. The lego store is great, got lots of legos. My son is crazy for legos. We'd spent $$$$ for Legos already!

Any visitor to Manhattan needs to take a walk through the complex. In addition to the skating rink (in the winter) and all the outdoor stuff, the art deco interior of the main buildings are from a time when art was as important as function.

The square was very clean. The flags all around, the lighted trees, the garden in the middle of the walkway, the prominent golden statue, the fountains, the marble, the sky scraper, the restaurants at the bottom - the shops!! There is just so much to see at this centre and it's all so pretty! The only downside is that since... More

If you visit during the winter you can go skating on the ring, while during the summer the space is open with cafes and small shops.

This place is great if you'd like to go hang out by yourself, with friends, or with your kids. Lots of shops inside the building and all around. You can take a tour of the building or go all the way to the 'Top of the Rock'.

Our tour guide Brad was fantastic. I don't think there is anything about Rockefeller Center that he doesn't know! Get Brad if you can.

No matter what time of year you visit NYC - a stop at Rockefeller Center never disappoints! Beautiful setting, plenty of shops, and all located in the middle of New York. Who doesn't want a photo taken at this famous locale? Say cheese...
