The Rockefeller Center Tour
Discover the stories behind the creation of Rockefeller Center! A Rockefeller
Center Historian will be your guide as you travel through the buildings, gardens
and spaces that make up this wondrous "city within a city." Join us as we unveil
the treasured, historical, and inspiring stories that only the world-renowned
Rockefeller Center has to offer-from John D. Rockefeller's true vision of what
the center should be, to what it is today. There is a story for each story that
has been built, a story for each amazing Art Deco work of art, and a story for
guests of all ages. You will be treated to an uninterrupted account of this
marvel as each tour guest follows along with his or her own personal headset.
This closed circuit connection to the tour guide makes this tour unique amidst
