💬 What Visitors Say

🕐Visit on weekdays during off-peak hours for the best experience - reviewers consistently praised minimal crowds, spacious ice, and short wait times on weekday visits
💡Bring your own skates if possible. Rental skates are reported as uncomfortable with poor quality (loose fit, missing ankle straps, worn soles). If renting, bring extra padding and blister bandages
💬At $10 entrance and $10 skate rentals, this is excellent value for NYC skating. Food at Duck Island Cafe is also affordable and fresh (sandwiches $8-9, pizza $5) - much better quality than typical rink concessions
💬Arrive prepared for the waiver process - fill it out in advance or in line to avoid delays. New management has implemented a waiver system that can cause longer entry lines
💡The venue has both outdoor and covered rinks that connect, allowing you to skate between them. There's also street parking nearby, making it convenient compared to typical NYC rink access
