Came to NYC just to see the 2020 Holiday Tree. It was exciting and beautiful as well.NYC will always be my mini vacation spot away from my home DC!

Considering the social distance and mask wearing the Rockefeller tree was still entertaining the atmosphere was lit up Saks Fifth Avenue had a light show that was entertaining and the crowd was fairly. Back to Norma It was a good feel to on the way back to normalcy hopefully 2021 will be even better!

It was amazing as always...I didnt get up close to the tree, but I was still able to take some nice pictures...A bit crowded, but what do you expect...This is NYC..I must say it felt really safe having all these cops around..Keep up the good work NYPD...I cant wait for things to go back to some kind of normalcy...Stay safe folks.

The tree is amazing every year. It was raining on my trip this year but well worth it. It was only a fraction of the people that are normally there due to everything going on in the world right now.

Im not super afraid of covid but that place is pack to the brim with people currently. In the 2020 holiday season

I work nearby and I havent seen it lit yet. The street was blocked off Wednesday night. Tonight when I go home Ill be able to tell you more. I6m sure its beautiful, though.They usually are.

Great iconic landmark location in NYC ice skating rink with Saks 5th ave light show just beautiful

For next year, install a tree made of recycled plastic, use advanced technology such as fibre optic lighting, virtual displays and interactive features....save the environment while making it look cool...!!

Got to see them pre-recording the tree lighting entertainment for tomorrow night...NYC is the best...never know what one will see on a Tuesday night at 5 pm!

Wonderful place where you can see friends and family. Love it. The only downside is the crowds, but hey, this city has 8 million+ people living in it! 5/5 stars.

Visited Rockefeller Center Christmas tree during 2020 covid restricted Christmas Season in New York City. Bittersweet but worth it. I️NY.️

Crazy how ONLY by the Tree and Saks it was Kinda busy. Walk out a block or 2 either Direction and it was Dead. Eerie feeling in the City. Actually nice getting around

The tree was just being put into place so not standing tall with all light kit, yet. But it was fascinating to watch the process of getting it into position ready to be raised. You just dont realize just how tall it is until you walk along the street beside it.

Its not decorated yet but the saks light show is worth going to see while there is no crowding.

Amazing place for a nice walk with the family, the Christmas tree was a good time .

Nice place to walk around, it’s very well decorated with Christmas lights and figures, not many people around so it feels safe during pandemic.

Only thing missing is a Shrine here. Great ambiance and energy.A great place to pay respects to one’s ancestors.

Nov 27, 2020 visit still busy at Rockefeller center tree/ ice rink,Saks exhibit was more to the whole streets, rather than only Windows! I took pics and kept going!

This tree is perfectly symbolic of the year 2020...you can make it what you want... good or bad, we see it perfectly beautiful!

Its iconic. The positives are plentiful: Art Deco architecture, various cafes and eateries both inside Rockefeller center and in the vicinity, a stunning Christmas tree and gorgeous seasonal decor of the entire plaza during the holiday season, a skating rink, lots to please to eye. The negative is that its impossible to navigate during Christmas/NYE season, yet the locals still brave the mad throngs to capture special moments together.

Awesome experience! Super fun for little kids and the tree is glorious. The only bad things are the crowds.

For my first Christmas in NYC, I am waiting for a wow! Christmas tree. Im really disappointed by this poor pine tree : it looks so sad and tired. It lacks ornaments and lights. May be some added colors and lights should bring it (and us) hope and joy

The Rink was great. Very clean I recommend to book the first at 9am

Beautiful Tree. I dont care what twitter says. Its a beautiful Tree

Great experience. Good holiday feel! Pack with people elbow to elbow

Lovely place, safe & great decorations,we were just disappointed that the tree wasnt lit!Next Wednesday is the day at 7pm for the lighting!

This was my favorite place we went in New York. Couple it with skating and its a perfect, dream come true.

They havent decorated it yet. Just a plain pine tree.

I dont like Rockefeller personality:)) but place is good.

Always beautiful. Its family place.

I went to see the Tree Lighting in person about 2 years ago and it was Beautiful.

It was my first time to new York and I would have to say it was beautiful seeing how the building look so different from Miami. Thousands of people are out 24 hrs a day , stores ,food , plays , attractions , lights and the winter made it an amazing place to be at in December. I would love to go again.

There is one rude & stupid security guard here.7 spot to take pictures inside but you can only stay in one spot for 5 minutesYou can not rotate spots.I am not spending a penny here.

Oh so Christmasy. Not too crowded. Festive atmosphere. Wind carried faint pine scent. Great site to behold. Was there after a morning of snow showers, probably kept some of the public at home this evening. Well worth the walk down to this part of town.

Go at night when everything is lit up and the light show plays at Saks Fifth Avenue every few minutes.

Always a wonderful time to visit the Rockefeller center and enjoy the Xmas tree. The ice skating rink is a beautiful addition for the holiday season.This year, there are fewer people than usual and you can get pretty close to the tree. Saks 5th Avenue Christmas extravaganza is great for the kids and the blasting music will make you sing along.A must see area.

Breathtaking location. City overall, poorly run, dangerous and dirty. Avoid!

Love every year go see the Christmas three .....

I am just another person who likes to have fun and watch everyone else have fun

NEVER GOING AGAINI HAD A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE, STAFF WAS TERRIBLE AND FOOD HAD MAGGOTS COMING OUT. I CANT BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE GIVING THIS GREAT REVIEWS NEVER AGAIN!!!

Around Christmas (ie any time in December), this is the place to be in NYC. Streets will be blocked off for special events in the area and the whole population of NYC will be here, but get in there with them! So much fun! The tree is so beautiful, the store displays are imaginative and the people are quite friendly.

Is just xmas spirit the place is awesome

Visitor place and most popular . 24 hours lots of people enjoy there time and play scating. Nice view and all state flag , lighting tree, street food and all r really awesome . long long line today. Lots of visitor so u need to go early. Good security for everywhere. Lots of toyes seller side in d road. U can collect that but its little bit costly. Easy to go anywhere you can take any kind of transpotation.

Great to see this tree in this iconic setting. This year has a star from Swarovski weighing 900 pounds! Also went to the lighting event but its very cold and incredibly busy - if you are early and get yourself a good spot youll be very lucky. Make sure to wrap up though!

Rockefeller center is fine during the day but it comes alive at night. The lights look amazing and so does the tree. Just dont expect it to be quite like it is in Home Alone 2, the place is always busy unless you are there early. Also go to the top of the rock observatory as well but do that during the day so you can see central park. We went to the top of Rock during the day and also top of the Empire State building at night, both great views and also different if you do one during the day and the other at night.

Such an iconic place to visit. Beautiful and the area is quite clean.

The best Christmas tree and a must see when in NYC during the holidays. Usually very busy tourist attraction especially in the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Good atmosphere for family, less.people walking around, due to pandemic, so excellent for photos, but men restrooms doesnt have toilets, unless the building is expanding the restroom but i did not see one... Sorry guys, if you are in the need, go some where else for number 2, before is too late, at least for now maybe on the future they add some or unhiden if they are repairing them. 10/4/2020

This is a different kind of monster, comparing to other part of the city, the energy here is kind of good and nostalgic at the same time. Because the transformation of this place depending the season is different. The metamorphose is not the place it happen in you!

Beautiful and charming. Nice table setting to take your lunch and eat there.

Love the Christmas tree at Rockefeller. Has Swarovski crystal on top. Annual tradition to see it during Christmas holidays. Gorgeous skating rink with Rockefeller tower in background is beautiful to watch. Lights and excellent landscaping. Beautiful angels. Must visit.

It really is a nice huuuge tree. The season vibe was good. You can see the ice skaters. But whats nice is that there are a lot of places to get out of the cold. But be ready to pay a hefty price. We took the little ones toddlers and it was too cold but older kids around us enjoyed it.Its usually really cold so bundle up if you want to visit.Its always crowded so expect the large crowd.

Great place to bring the family. Their is a whole lot to do, and places to see.

Worth battling the good-humoured crowds.It looks spectacular in photos, but nothing beats seeing the Christmas Tree in person.People move on fairly quickly once theyve taken their photos, so youll definitely get prime spot if patient.

Great attraction of NYC during the holiday season. Iconic Rockefeller center holds the massive pine celebrating christmas in the city! Family friendly but if you plan on ice skating be ready to wait on a hours long line

I probably wouldnt attend the unveiling, but Rockefeller really puts on quite the display. Security is plentiful, and you feel safe as you look in awe. If youre in NYC around Christmas, its definitely worth a visit.

Classic New York for Christmas. Don’t miss it. Always good for people watching and better to go at night and catch the Saks Fifth Avenue light show. If you’re lucky you’ll also get to witness a few proposals.

A must see ever since I was a child! Especially durning the Christmas season!! Was really upset to find out they shut the lights off at midnight! Understand it may be a safety issue but definitely a new one!! We arrived at 12:05am to be very disappointed! Thank God we had another city night planned so we didn’t miss it! So plan ahead folks and enjoy this beauty!! PS: This place gets super packed!!! So if you suffer from anxiety I do not recommend!! Especially on Christmas Day!!

Beautiful Christmas area to visit when you are in the city for holidays. Amazing rink to skate and lots of coffee shops to keep you warm!

It is just like in movies here, just not much activity to do. Walk around, take some pictures and thats about it. 4 stars from me.

Because of the covid there were restrictions on space and it made it harder to take pictures

Rockefeller where you want to be during christmasSince I came to the USA, I always try to visit Newyork during Christmas. Its always festive kinda feeling around Rockefeller center-radio city- that red big ball at 6th Avenue. its kind of pilgrimage for us. even when I was in PA-CT-VA, I did visit during Christmas here. coming to Rockefeller, if you want to avoid the crowd, visit before Christmas weekend or visit during weekdaysthe crowd can be bit frustrating and annoying at times. they come in 100s and you wont even have a space for turning yourself away. The rink is open for skating during Christmas. Looking at the tree and purple building at the backdrop, it is such a beautiful sight. In the building, there are 4-5 restaurants to dine and also a few shops for shopping but I doubt you ll get a seat.another great thing not to miss around Rockefeller is lighting show at 5th avenue just in front of the building. on certain intervals ( i guess 10 mins) it keeps repeating and it is spectacular. cant describe in words.in fact, whole 5th and 6th avenue is superbly beautiful during Christmas.The 2018 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree was lit on November 28 at Rockefeller Plaza, between West 48th and West 51st Streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues. The Tree will remain lit and can be viewed until 9 pm on January 7, 2019.

Wouldnt be the Christmas season without a visit to Rockefeller center Christmas tree with the family. Was wary at first because of an article read about aggressive Cartoon characters that were harassing tourists, but thankfully they were not present when we went. Just the usual out of towners, who for the most part were friendly and polite and helped to make the experience fun. Some stops at Lego, St Patricks Cathedral and the statue of Atlas helped make our visit brighter and complete.

Because of COVID this place loke many other places are empty .

Absolutely magical. of course, you have to go prepared to handle the biggest crowd of your life but still a magical experience. so beautiful.

Very nice festive crowd at this place, attracts lots of visitors. The streets across are completely decked up with lightings and decorations. Must visit to feel the festive vibes.

I have good memories coming here as a kid!

2020 Christmas tree preparations

Amazing experience. Saw the large Christmas tree. Light show . Though weather was chilly but with huge crowd around cheering and enjoying you wont feel the weather.Newyork! You rock!

Always a fun NYC experience!I LOVE being a tourist in my own city.Although, the tree looks smaller as you get older, lol.

Rockefeller Center, Prometheus here is following perfectly COVID19 safety measures. NY I love you!

So beautiful. I come here every year. Its the same decor since back when my parents got married in 1977 and helps me remember them.

I come once a year to see the tree and it was magnificent today, as it always is! Christmas time cannot get any better in New York City. Weve had great weather and weve been lucky. This beautiful Christmas tree exemplifies what New York means to the world. Its beauty and its stature mean so much to native New Yorkers and tourists throughout the world. We are thankful as a city that we can be so hospitable to millions around the globe. Please enjoy your Christmas season in New York and have a happy New Year. If you can afford it go shopping and dont forget to visit Saint Patricks cathedral across the street. Light a candle and maybe all your wishes will come true. Enjoy!

Quite the sight to see! It really is the most beautiful Christmas tree that you will see out in public. The crowds are huge, but you will still be able to get a nice picture.

Iconic, massive and beautiful. The tree is a New York and national staple. Is a backdrop that is seen all over TV and classic Christmas. It is at the end of the corridor with angels lining the path and the skating rink below. When in NYC near the holidays, it is a must see and near many other core decor like Saks and their full building and window displays. Great place to people watch. While beautiful during the day, you have to go at night when all lit up.

After a 9 plus hour drive, horrible traffic, toll roads, toll tunnels, crazy insane amounts of people, packed stores, packed restaurants, and walking seemingly forever.....my wife her childhood dream of being at Rockefeller Center looking at that big beautiful tree w/tears in her eyes is just absolutely priceless...Xmas in NYC needs to be on every bucket list and needs to be experienced. It truly is a magical one of a kind experience.

Its amazing this tree!!!happy early Christmas

It was truly a beauty and Im so happy that I was there to see this. Highly recommend anyone whos close by to go and check it out.

A very colorful time of the year and lightings are amazing!

Every year me n my family get together to go see the tree and the rest of the ave .the holidays means a lot to us ...the kids love it so we make sure we take them every year to enjoy the self and the new things they put up...the being a show for free on they ave for everybody to enjoy ...we super love it

Got to love the big tree! Awesome as it always is here after year! I love coming into the city and making the trip to see the tree and the Christmas decorations and just wander around the city for a while.

I loved visiting the Rockefeller Center. If you dreamed about NYC during the holidays, and you were expecting to see people ice skating and getting that extra Christmassy visit, this is the place. Its very crowded but it is amazing and a must see in the city.

You have to go. At least once. We were there after the tree was lit. Perfect. Monday to Thursday, the crowds were moderate and that is when I would reccomend going. You werent bumping into somebody every few seconds. Comfortable crowds. Strong security and police presence. When Friday came around, the streets in and around Times Square and Rockefeller Center were super crowded. If you can plan a trip anytime from Sunday to Thursday, it should be a great experience.

Rockefeller shopping center has amazing food options for anyone from vegan to non vegan. Wonderful shops. And very clean bathrooms. Every store I went in there were lovely people and wonderful things to buy.

Crowds can be crazy but its a beautiful place

Great place to visit

Its such a beautiful place, especially at Christmas time. The restaurants are very good also. You can watch the skaters...

Absolutely beautiful! Always a great time to see the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree! Highly recommend!

So much fun, but the people... sooooo busy! In saying that, the cops seemed to keep all the crowds under control and some of the officers were very helpful with some information...great job by the NYPD..

This was a memorial day. Everyone were friendly. I lived in NYC for 54 years. Coming back to NYC energized me.

Always a favorite annual visit, even for New Yorkers. Since its a popular attraction it can get crowded but its also very peaceful at the right times. Definitely a must see if youre in NY during the holidays.

Great time to enjoy New York landmark place, it much less crowded now.

Amazing Christmas spirit, see everyone so happy make you feel that life is beautiful and blessed. There is something in new york city that make yiu feel in a magical place. There are for every vary loves new york.

Ive gone maybe like 3 times to go see the tree. After the 1st time I have to say its nothing special. Not to mention that the last time I went it was FREEZING! But what can you expect? Its New York. Id say if you live near by, great, go see the tree! But if you live a bit far away like me its not worth it. Maybe like a one time experience is fine. Or if you do go, dont just go see the tree, do some exploring. Find good places to go while youre there

I got to see the tree up, but not yet revealed as it was surrounded by scaffolding for decorating, but thoroughly enjoyed seeing it at this stage.

Christmas season is the best time to visit this place. You would see amazingly decorated giant Christmas tree, enjoy ice skating, however you need pay for it, enjoy amazing Christmas decorations; life-size angels, and so many good stuffs to enjoy. It has everything what New York City has to offer. Entrance is free. Subway train (B,D,F,M trains) station is just one block away; literally less then a minute walk. Take subway train to get there. The highest level of security is provided so that you can feel safe and secure.

We had a great time in Rockefeller center is beautiful. Lots of things to do. We went to see the windows decorated on 5th avenue, we saw the lights show w the music.

A very decorated and well kept place to visit.

The Christmas tree at Rockefeller center is always amazing and the stores in the area always great to visit and now that FAO Schwartz is there and Im a big kid its awesome!

Its been almost 20 years since my last visit here and it still felt like the first time! What a beautiful place and the crowd was even almost bearable. If you have a chance to go., Go!
