Rockefeller Center is known as one of New York City’s most iconic attractions and where the famous Christmas tree is illuminated. Rockefeller Center’s jaw-dropping views and Deco sculptures are a true gem of urban planning, as well as the ice skating rink under Prometheus eyes.
At the Plaza, you’ll have a wide choice of things to do and see from television (NBC TV studios), shops, dining, and the Art Deco complex full of impressive sculptures and works of art. The Channel Gardens, named after the English Garden separate La Maison Française and the British Empire Building, are changing with seasonal arrangements from picturesque flowers, angels, and lights as well as sculptures.
WHAT TO DO WITH KIDS
Many of the Rockefeller Center’s buildings have mythical figures to spot, and it is an entertaining thing kids like to guess. Statues like the iconic “Atlas” holding a globe, the “Mankind Figures” (Maiden and Youth), and the golden “Prometheus” above the ice skating rink are some of the best known. The statues are found on Fifth Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets
Some of the most iconic kids and adult stores like Lego, American Dolls, Nintendo, Saks, and many more are within walking distance
