We planned to go into the tower. After reading trip advisor reviews, we decided to call to see if it was open. Good thing we did....... The tower elevators were closed for maintenance . We were very disappointed.
Tall building... views of downtown. Nothing special. If you're in the area it's okay to visit but not worth a special trip
Cool, but no entry on weekends great place for picture taking. Right next to the egg, across from museum
It's a well designed building. But compared to the Egg and the New York State Capitol, it's nothing.
Great aerial view of some magnificent city architecture!Which made for some great pictures. And it's free!
Just another states office building. The Tower is part of the Rockefeller Plaza and is the tallest building. Visit the Plaza and New York State Museum, but the Tower is only worth a glance.
If you can get here when the Tower is open go on up for a wonderful panoramic view. Trouble is they are generally not open on the weekends, and you need ID to get in.
This is well worth a stop. Although the windows weren't all that clean and clear, the views are phenomenal and the countryside is beautiful.
You will need to show ID but you cannot do something better in Albany for free. If it is clear you can see a looooog way and there is interesting stuff to see.
It is great to go to the observation level and look around the whole area, picking out places you normally drive by. Especially nice when the leaves are displaying their fall colors.
