Ooooh em geee! It could have been a beautiful family outing if it wasn't dangerously crowded. We did however go a few days after Thanksgiving AKA high tourism season. Once we found out where the barricade ended and was able to get into the space, we found a nice little spot that wasn't as crowded and we just took it all in. If you're not into crowds or suffer from claustrophobia, I would recommend going during the day. Best pics are at night when you can truly experience the beauty of it all. Stay safe! Happy Holidays

Word of advice, the beautiful photos I saw on Google reviews must have been taken in the summer. I went in March and definitely didn't see what I expected, everything was still in it'd winter slumber. Even though they're were no flowers the fountains themselves were interesting to look at. Along the plaza are some high-end stores as well like Tiffany's and Kate Spade. Cool place to chill and people watch.

If you happen to be in NYC during Christmas Season then you have to make a stop there. I was there around 11pm and it was still full but not as crowded as during the day. You have a great view of the big Christmas Tree as well as the Ice Skating.

This place is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Beautiful breeze, buildings and right in front of Rockefeller. There's plenty of spots to sit, window shop and walk around. Definitely worth walking through.

The gardens are great to sit in between plants and seasonal decoration to look at the Rockefeller center on one side and Saks on Fifth Avenue on the other side. It’s essentially in the promenade with shops on either side. So get a drink, a salad and a book and enjoy the sights in the heart of city

It was interesting but not really worth going out of our way for, we actually walked right past them at first, looking for them at first, then realized, this is it.

Christmas time is the BUSIEST. You will definitely get stuck in big crowds but the Christmas tree and the light show was beautiful. It’s worth a visit.

I highly recommend visiting this anytime of the year. However, right before Christmas the month of December, the place looks extra special with the Christmas decorations.

It's really a nice place to take some pictures but It was one of the special moments for me at this place, I liked the fact to see where Kevin finally met his mom(the movie home alone2)

Beautiful place to hang out and take pictures. A lot of flower that attracts butterflies. Have benches around to seat and some small business that sell drinks and coffee. More

One of my go to spots for Christmas! So so many people though It’s a fun walk, with so many new things to enjoy. There’s a ice skating ring for some fun times too! …

Cool area

What a great place to visit and watch the people roller skate (vs. ice skate) and observe the interactions between them.

This place is beautiful, but too many people. I heard in December, it's very colorful.

At night, the Christmas lights are spectacular going towards the Christmas tree. My wife and I enjoy the time

They had a lights and sound display outside the building. But it causes high volume of people in the area.

You can just sit down and enjoy the view. There’s a few stores you can’t visit. It’s such a nice place.

One of the touristic places in NY, great place to share with family and friends and take some pictures.

The perfect spot to be at to see that Christmas tree and the Saks 5th show!
