Radio City Music Hall Tour: Pay Less, Have More Fun!
No visit to New York City would be complete without taking the Radio City Music Hall Tour! Many readers have reported this to
have been one of their NYC vacation highlights. It's so much fun to see how things work backstage on one of the world's largest indoor performance stages (it has 5,933 seats!) Its interior was declared a city landmark in 1978. Fully renovated in 1999, Radio City Music Hall was restored to its original glory from floor to ceiling, with new carpeting featuring the original designs to restored gold leaf ceilings. How large is it? Its Wurlitzer organ has two independently working consoles and its pipes are housed in 11 different rooms on both sides of the building!!
You'll see everything from the great stage to its famous amazing hydraulic elevators, to Roxy's private apartment, and you'll
meet a REAL Rockette (you can have your picture taken with her too!)!! Tour guides are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and great fun! They will explain the history of Radio City Music Hall while you view the beautiful art deco interior, learn about the theater's fascinating history, as well as the long list of famous personalities that have graced its stage. The tour lasts about an hour so it's perfect for even little kids! One of the tour's newest feature is that you can be a part of a Radio City Rockette kick line with an Interactive photo opportunity! I suppose that's as close to being a Rockette that I'll ever come!!
