Visitor tip
Purchase timed tickets online in advance and arrive 1 hour before your ticket time to minimize wait times. Even with a timed ticket, expect a queue—arriving at 2pm for a 3pm ticket is recommended.
Best time

Visitor tip
Wollman Rink is NYC's largest skating rink with no time restrictions, making it ideal for families. Staff are friendly and helpful, but arrive early to secure available lockers and avoid difficulty finding one during peak times.
