Loved the experience, except for the part of getting the skates and getting a locker, that whole process is just crazy due to the amount of people! And there was no network inside I was lucky to see worker who helped me connecting to the wifi, as it's the only way to get the locker working, to pay for it... etc!

The most thrilling part of my adventure was honestly the staff. They were so nice and helpful even after closing the rink at 9, they weren't in a rush to kick people out! Also loved the view while skating and the rink is pretty big!! Would definitely recommend

We loved skating in Central Park - wonderful views, not too crowded! The only things I would change would be PLEASE sharpen the rental skates...it's more dangerous to have people sliding around on butter knives than it would be to just SHARPEN the skates even a little bit. The other would be that they didn't have Christmas music playing and we were there the day before Christmas Eve so that was a little surprising. Otherwise is was a wonderful experience and we had a lovely time :)

I really enjoyed my 1st experience ice skating. Doing it in Central Park was a dream come true. Reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there were just too many people when you 1st go in to get your skates. There was no where to sit to change into my skates as well as no lockers left to store my items. Also, as a 1st timer, I would of loved some sort of support like they gave for the kids. Not sure what they are called, but the cages that supported them while they skated.

Easy to buy tickets with HeadOut. Do not spend hundreds on Rockefeller Center when Wollman's is much better and a third of the price. Get the earliest entry possible, the first hour is not very crowded. Fast and easy access to skates and locker (which you can open and close many times). Food and drinks available. Lovely atmosphere. The kids skated for over 2 hours and I got to enjoy a hot coffee watching them.

Visiting Wollman Rink in Central Park was a magical experience for our family traveling from Greece. My two kids (8 and 12) absolutely loved skating surrounded by the iconic New York skyline and winter atmosphere. The rink was well organized, staff were friendly and helpful. A perfect winter activity for families visiting NYC and a memory we will cherish.

    The best part was teaching my girlfriend how to skate! The rink wasn't that full so I could enjoy it a lot, the staff was nice and the food was great.

    Lovely setting but my grandsons (16&17) found the skates 'rock hard' (they skate at home) and the ice busy and cut up.

  • Skate across Wollman Rink, one of New York City’s most iconic winter destinations in the heart of Central Park.

    Getting started

    Head to Wollman Rink’s main entrance inside Central Park, located near 59th Street and 6th Avenue. Show your booking confirmation or ticket at the counter, pick up your skates (rentals included in your ticket), and get ready to hit the ice. Staff members are available to help you with skate fitting and any equipment rentals you might need.

    What to expect

    Once you step onto the ice, take in the beautiful setting surrounded by Central Park’s trees and the glittering Manhattan skyline. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned skater, Wollman Rink offers a welcoming and lively environment for all ages. You can skate at your own pace, take photos, and even warm up with a cup of hot chocolate from the rink café after your session.

    Features

    • Iconic location: Skate at one of New York’s most famous landmarks, featured in films like Serendipity, Love Story, and Home Alone 2.

    • Skyline views: Enjoy unmatched views of the Manhattan skyline and Central Park’s winter scenery as you glide around the rink.

    • Inclusive experience: Wollman Rink welcomes everyone, with skate aids, lessons, and accessible facilities available.

    • On-site amenities: Take a break with snacks and warm drinks from the rink café, or rent a locker to safely store your belongings while you skate.

  • What to bring

    • Dress warmly and comfortably since the air on the ice can get quite chilly, especially on breezy Central Park days.

    • Pack some cozy essentials like gloves, a hat, and thick socks to stay comfortable while you skate.

    • Keep your booking confirmation or ticket handy to show at the entrance when you arrive.

    What's not allowed

    • Outside food and drinks aren’t permitted inside, but don’t worry, the rink café has plenty of snacks and warm beverages to enjoy.

    • Pets aren’t allowed on the ice for safety reasons.

    • Large bags can’t be brought onto the rink, though lockers are available to store your belongings securely.

    • Service animals are permitted throughout the venue.

    Additional information

    • Wollman Rink operates seasonally, typically from late October through mid-March, depending on the weather.

    • Tickets are valid only for the date and time slot you’ve booked, so it’s best to arrive a little early.

    • You can rent lockers, skate aids, or even book lessons on-site for an added fee.

    • If you’re new to skating or visiting with kids, you can rent a skate aid at the rink for extra balance and confidence.
