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.

    We liked it very much. The cherry on the carry was that it started snowing. Picture perfect. But after one hour they closest it due to the light snow! I just can't understand this. Visibility was good, no accidents. Why?? We flew 6500 miles for this number 1 event of hour trip to New York. That's was a real bummer. Got No refund. Too bad...

    While waiting in line in the cold seemed like it was going to be painful, Wollman Ice Rink had outdoor heaters for people waiting in line to stay cozy! Everyone was super friendly from the staff assisting in line to the people handing out skates! Will definitely be coming back to Wollman Ice Rink!

    What a great rink, exceptional views and then it started to snow as we were skating (after Christmas). Parents be prepared for long lines, getting skates, waiting to skate, and leaving the area.

    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.
