Visiting during the holidays? Make sure you plan ahead and bring your patience - you'll need it.  This was my first time visiting this ice rink. I attempted to get tickets for the Rockefeller Rink. One for me and partner, but people begin to book that one months in advance! It's smaller anyway.  Definitely purchase your timed tickets online and expect to wait a little bit in line EVEN if you have a timed ticket. If your ticket is for 3:00pm, I recommend being there at 2:00pm. They will have lockers once you're in there which are $7. It will be a bit difficult to find one if it's packed, so a nice young lady was kind enough to give us the heads up that she was done with hers. Use your phone for the lockers, it'll be easier.  Other then that, nothing to it. It's a great time. Again, patience is key!

BEST RINK EVER. i am a skating academy member here and i truthfully say that this is the best rink ever. its GIANT and the view of central park is spectacular. i have skated at many many different rinks throughout my carrer but this will always be my #1 staff is so friendly and nice, i hope to work here soon!

Extremely popular ice skating rink that I enjoy going to every year to have fun with family and people all alike from around the city. In peak season lines are long but it moves down relatively fast and it’s worth it once you’re in. In low season there’s less of a wait and you can still have a lot of fun with the really big ice rink.

Wollman Rink is another special area in NYC to visit both in the summer or during winter, especially if you have little kids, particularly in the summertime, as they set up a small amusement park over the rink. During the winter, you get the most amazing backdrop while ice skating in Central Park. It really is an awesome experience!

I think this falls under tourist trap. First, its not cheap! 45$ for a moment on the ice. They also completely overbook the thing. We had a reservation for 19h and arrived at 6h20 to see à HUGE row of people waiting. I'm talking about multiple hundreds. We could see many people resigning and just leaving after a while. No refunds... obviously. We got on the ice at 19h45 after 1h25 of wait time. The ice surface is also quite small. The other important things is to expect MOST people to do ice skating for the first time. It is very dangerous ! Be carefull, people falling, and holding on to whatever they see... not fun. Do not expect to go there and do smooth circles,  its a jungle and you have to stay focus to dodge any incoming threath. Being from Québec, I am good on ice skates, but i had multiple collisions during the hour over there. We had fun skating but man... it comes with a lot of negatives.

really cool place to skate after dark. looked amazing with all the skyscrapers lit up around you. I found it bad tho that a member of staff was walking down the que before you got in saying she could get you straight in for cash and avoid queuing. the guy behind us paid her $50 to skip the que.

PLAN AHEAD to avoid disappointment. Expect to wait 30-40 minutes at least as this is a popular spot. The staff are very friendly, prices are not that expensive if going during off peak hours and skates are in good condition if renting bring thick socks. Tickets can be purchased in person CASH ONLY or online. Great atmosphere during the holidays. Amazing skyline views at nighttime.

We went ice skating at the Wollman rink in Central Park on Christmas Day 2022. Although we did really enjoy, and it's a much bigger rink than that outside the Rockefeller centre also cheaper, it was a bit chaotic getting inside and collecting pre-booked skates and then finding a locker to store shoes etc. Arguably it was probably also a little too busy, but hey, it was Christmas Day in Central Park! Lockers cost 7 dollars and it can be a bit tricky trying to find an empty one when it's busy, especially when trudging around in your skates! Worth noting, they clear the rink every couple of hours for 30 minutes or so to recut / smooth the ice...

This is a great place for tourists and people who have good skill at ice skating. But i do not recommend this place to beginner ice skaters as it is very crowded and there is not that much space to practice. Wollman Rink also gets very loud when they blast music out of there speakers

We had a nice evening on the 25th December 2022. Thank you for all these awesome feelings. A "Must Do" when beeing in NYC during wintertimes
