The iconic Art Deco ‘Rockefeller Center’ complex, situated in the heart of Manhattan, was built by the wealthy Rockefeller family during the Great Depression as a means to stimulate economic activity and provide jobs. Today, it still serves as a multifunctional hub, encompassing commercial spaces, offices, shops, restaurants, and the famous live music venue Radio City Music Hall.
The highlight, however, is the atmospheric rink for roller skating (Apr-Oct) and ice skating (Nov-Mar) in front of the main building – great fun for all ages, and a chance to mingle with the locals. At Christmas, you can ice skate in front of the magnificent oversized Christmas tree (featured in Home Alone 2) – go and see it, even if you’re not skating.
