Travelling to New York City is very great. It is because there are a lot of interesting places there. One of the interesting places is Rockefeller center. In this place, there are many exhibits that we can see. Some of them are:

Channel Gardens

Named after the English Channel because they separate the French and British buildings, the gardens change with the calendar and are lined with glowing angels at Christmas. The six fountainhead figures are by René Chambellan.

Sunken Garden

A skating rink in winter and leafy outdoor café in summer, the Sunken Garden is a bright spot year round. It is surrounded by colorful flags that represent the members of the United Nations.

Prometheus Statue

An 18-ft (5.5-m) bronze and gold leaf statue by Paul Manship presides over the Sunken Garden. The pedestal represents Earth and the circle containing the signs of the zodiac represents the heavens.

Atlas Statue

Sculpted by Lee Lawrie, this 14,000-lb (6,350-kg), 15-ft (4.5-m) figure is perched on a 9-ft (3-m) pedestal. One of 15 works by Lawrie at the Center, it stands at the entrance to the International Building.

G.E. Building

The centerpiece of Rockefeller Center is a slim, 70-story limestone tower. The design features gradual setbacks as the building rises to ensure that no office is more than 27 ft (8 m) from a window

NBC Studios

Backstage tours of a major television network’s studios are popular. Visitors can now buy tickets online or write ahead for shows; tickets may also be available in the lobby of the G.E. building.

Today Show Studio

This morning TV show can be viewed live every weekday morning from the sidewalk in front of the studio. A camera often films the fans watching the show.

Shopping Concourse

A variety of stores are found in the underground concourse, also known as the catacombs, of the G.E. Building, including a branch of the Metropolitan Museum shop.

Radio City Music Hall

Guided tours of this Art Deco masterpiece and former movie palace are a chance to admire the decor, the stage, and the legendary Wurlitzer organ.

Paine Webber Art Gallery

Opened in 1985, this gallery mounts four or five shows a year. Changing exhibits are eclectic, ranging from Mayan art to sports photography.
