This is a holiday must do. Family friendly . Long lines to get in. Fun to just watch everyone's antics.

The fact they play music is super awesome when trying to skate and really popular place to be

Cute city rink (Like Bryant Park , NYC). Skates were poorly sharpened (mid January), but we asked to switch them. Polish guy at counter was rude; others super nice! :)

Lee Forkenbrock

Definitely bring your own skates if you can, then it is free and no lines for rental. Only bad part about a nice Saturday is the number of people on the ice. Too crowded for an experienced skater .

Arthur Tam

Bring your own skates , it is free to skate ! Otherwise it is a long wait for $10 rentals, especially on the weekends.

Penny S

Experienced skaters beware: wobbly newbies and tore up ice abound. Lockers take four quarters.

Joe Born

the ice rink is actually cooled, so even if its above freezing you can still skate here
