Trying to figure out where to watch this month’s total solar eclipse? How about 850 feet into Manhattan skies at the Top of the Rock Observation Deck? That’s right, you can watch the unmissable celestial event from one of the most iconic spots in NYC!
The Top of the Rock solar eclipse viewing party will take place on Monday, April 8th from 12pm-4pm—just in time to catch peak eclipse starting at 3:15pm. Guests will take in 360° views of NYC while listening to celestial-themed music to get them in them in the spirit. Tickets are $55 per person.
Not to mention, visitors who have tickets to the Observation Deck on April 8th from 12pm-2:30pm will receive some fun goodies from Warby Parker and The Weather Room, including free ISO-certified solar eclipse glasses and an eclipse-inspired black & white cookie. You can also snag yourself a pair of free eclipse glasses here.
Why is everyone making such a big deal about April’s total solar eclipse? It’s because New York is one of the 15 states on the path of totality. Still confused? This means that New York will be one of the regions to experience complete and utter darkness in the middle of the day as the moon passes between the sun and the earth.
