New York City Ice-Skating Rinks guide

One of the coolest things to do in the city during the winter season is ice skating. It is a little scared at the beginning, I admit, but it’s fun! However, I see that many people who visit the city or even people that live here don’t know about all the options available – yes, the New York City skating rinks are not limited to Bryant Park, Central Park and Rockefeller. By the way, did you know that the most expensive place for ice skating is the rink at Rockefeller? Yeah! Check out the guide that I prepared and see which option is best for you – see the descriptions for more details about prices (they vary by month and day of the week in some areas), the age limit for kids, and dates.
