Frequently Asked Questions

What's the dress code for Starchild Rooftop on July 4th?

Upscale casual to going-out attire. Think rooftop lounge, not backyard barbecue — no athletic wear, flip flops, or overly casual clothing.

Is there a view of the Macy's fireworks from Starchild Rooftop?

Starchild is located in Midtown West, so it does not offer a direct view of the Macy's fireworks on the East River. What you do get is sweeping panoramic skyline views from 27 floors up, which is a show in its own right.

What's included with my Starchild Rooftop ticket?

General admission includes rooftop access and DJ entertainment. Craft cocktails and premium bar fare are available for purchase. VIP and table options may be available for groups.

What time should I arrive at Starchild Rooftop on July 4th?

Doors open at 6pm. Arriving early puts you in position for sunset views over the skyline before the party picks up later in the evening.

Is Starchild Rooftop an indoor or outdoor venue?

Both — Starchild features a retractable glass roof that opens for open-air views in good weather and closes for climate-controlled comfort if conditions change. You're covered either way.

How do I get to Starchild Rooftop?

Starchild is at 305 West 48th Street in Hell's Kitchen. The closest subway is 50th Street (C/E) or 49th Street (N/R/W). Times Square–42nd Street (1/2/3/7/N/Q/R/W/S) is a short walk. Rideshare drop-off on 48th Street works best.

Price increase warning: Fourth of July ticket prices often go up significantly (100% +) the closer you get to the night of the party. Also note that many Fourth of July Events will sell out well in advance of the date.
