The Rink at Rockefeller Center

As a tourist you can't bypass skating at the rink, it's an icon! The time is restricted, there're many people queueing. Still I recommend taking the plunge. You're in NY and at the Rockefeller center!

The construction time of the Rockefeller Center started in 1931 and took 9 years until 1940. Christmas Day 1936 in the ice-skating rink at the Lower Plaza was installed for the first time.

If you have not skated at the Rink at the Rock then you haven't lived... BTW get there early to avoid the long queues. Saks has good winter shows displayed on the walls opposite too this year (2012)

The rink just opened today as I leave this comment. If you are here during the winter season , something you need to check out at least once. It is some sight once the tree goes up!

Skating at The Rink is a must do at least once a lifetime in NYC with the iconic Christmas tree and Rockefeller Center as the backdrop.

Want to test out that new telephoto lens and your camera 's tracking focus abilities? Try it at the Rockefeller Center skating rink . Try using your center focus point and panning with the subject.

No place like Rockefeller Center. A bit crowded with tourists , but it a must do if you're in New York- even if it's just once!

This rink needs to be on your bucket list. What a romantic experience. You’ll probably see someone get engaged. :)

Just to watch people skating around during Christmas time in a beautifully decorated place is bliss. Magical Christmas times .

Expensive, but awesome! You can buy the Sky Skate ticket (Top of the Rock + Ice Skating ) for $48

they only open during the winter season … this is a great, fun, romantic place ! let's skate !!!♥

The most famous of rinks is still as cramped as ever. Unless you plan on going early in the morning or between 9am and noon on Thanksgiving, expect a one- to two-hour wait. Read more

In the winter it's the skating rink , in the warmer months, it's a bar and grill! #Cocktails

There is one sign in all of ther plaza that tells you where to go, and it's nowhere near the actual entrance. No security around to give directions either. If you can afford just get express tickets.

It gets a bit crowded on weekends, but it's a romantic must

If you have food with you, the concierge will let you leave it on the ice to keep it cool. Don't forget to tip!

Skating in the snow is the best

I did not skate here, but my family did and they really enjoyed it.

Bring your own skates to save money.

Fall on your arse, get a cheer from the folk in the restaurant

So New York. Skinny jeans and rental skates ! Here w/ my girl, taking it all in.

An iconic New York experience during the winter.

No rink in the summer but set up to eat.

Quite expensive for the value you get. Better walk further and go to Central Park .

Expensive but fun to watch

Great place!!!

So cliche but one of NY must_see! Just like in the movies !

When you come to Clearwater, FL, try Clearwater Ice Arena!

Evening stroll

Tree Time 2015!!!!!

don't miss it!

Photobomb everyone.

Avoid all the Bitchassness

What no Zamboni? What the heck is an Olympia?

É clichê, e também é um passeio que todos devem fazer - caso estejam em NY durante o inverno . Muito divertido e terapêutico assistir as pessoas patinando no gelo ????????????????

Советую купить билет для Вип посетителей, он намного дороже зато инд.обслуживание,нет км-й очереди ,есть место для отдыха ,горячий шоколад ,сладости ,вода ...(Вход с ресторана)Наслаждайтесь...Ваша G.G.

Mucha gente y muy pequeña... no deja de ser una buena postal.

Il simbolo del Natale newyorkese. Se volete pattinare peró occhio...preparatevi a una lunga fila

Aunque no sepas patinar (como yo) hay que ir...y patinar!!!

Melhor que patinar é ficar olhando o pessoal fazer. Que coisa boa.
