Rockefeller Center Ice-Skating Rink

Ice skating at Rockefeller Center is an essential New York City winter experience. The rink was built in 1936, replacing the complex’s original shopping concourse. Today, more than a quarter of a million skaters enjoy the Rockefeller Center rink every year from October through April.

You don’t need skates or reservations to skate at the Rockefeller Center Ice-Skating Rink.
