Ice Skating New York - run rings around the spectacular Tree at the Rockefeller Center
Alright, buckle up, because it's time for an adventure at Rockefeller Center—where the ice is as slippery as your New Year’s resolutions and the tree is way more impressive than your attempts at holiday decorations.
Gather your group, because this is a "let’s all hold hands and hope for the best" kind of activity. The rink is tiny, but it's perfect for beginners—or anyone who enjoys flailing around in public. Seriously, just stepping onto that ice makes you feel like Bambi on roller skates, but it’s fine. You’re here for the fun, not for Olympic glory. And let’s be honest: no one expects graceful moves here. It’s all about survival. Our DMC in New York can arrange a whole program for you!
Ice Skating New York
Before you hit the ice, check out that massive Christmas tree towering above you. It’s decorated with so many lights, it might be brighter than your future. And if you’re wondering how to spot the tree in a crowd, just look for the giant star at the top—it’s basically the Rockefeller Center equivalent of a disco ball.
Okay, now time to skate (or at least pretend to). Skating rentals are available, and yes, they’ll give you skates that are definitely not custom-made for your feet, so expect a little wobbling and possibly a few near-catastrophes. If you need support, grab a friend and hold onto them for dear life. It’s not cheating if everyone’s doing it. And if you're feeling brave, try taking a lesson—at least then you’ll have an excuse for your lack of coordination.
But hey, after the chaotic elegance of skating, the real fun begins. You can gather your crew, try not to collapse into a snowbank, and stroll around. Maybe grab a hot cocoa and laugh at each other’s epic wipeouts. After all, the memories (and bruises) will last long after the season ends.
So, get ready to glide, stumble, and make some holiday memories. Because nothing says "Christmas spirit" like skating in circles under a tree... and wondering if you’ll ever walk the same again.
Wait, that is not all, here are the other fabulous Ice Skating New York opportunities!
Wollman Rink: Glide across the ice at Wollman Rink in Central Park, a winter wonderland that's nothing short of magical—especially after dark! Experience the dazzling 360-degree skyline views of Manhattan sparkling with lights, while the peaceful beauty of Central Park surrounds you. After your skate, explore the festive Christmas market at Columbus Circle for a cozy holiday experience you won’t forget.
