Maybe the most singularly iconic ice rink in the world, where you can skate under the masses’ eyes. If you’re looking to admire the rink from a bit aways, the Rockefeller Rink is quite accessible. Otherwise, good luck.

I visited the rink with my friend last week. It really was such a great experience. Everything was very smooth - we came at our slot time and were quickly directed to the skate rental and then the lockers.

I tried going to skate somewhere else but only had apple pay. So I ended up at The Rink at Rockefeller Center. They allowed me to pay with apple pay in person and treated me super nicely. The view of the gold sculpture was beautiful. It’s really spacious so even when there was a lot of people it was comfortable.

•Skating here feels like stepping into a classic New York winter postcard. ❄️ •The rink itself is smaller than it looks in photos, but that just makes it feel more intimate and cinematic. •Surrounded by city lights and that iconic golden statue, the atmosphere is festive and magical, especially at night!
