Winterland Rink: Skate the Manhattan Skyline

“It’s the only outdoor ice-skating rink on a rooftop in New York City,” says rink expert Kristin Egan, a former hockey player and figure skater who designed the rink.

The engineering of the attraction took 300 tons of refrigeration and technical precision in construction that guarantees the best skating experience, says Egan. The Rooftop rink at Pier 17 offers instructional programming and special events hosted on the winter fairytale scene all winter long.

Winterland Rink: Food & Fun

Away from the touristy Rockefeller Rink, the Seaport District is the place for family fun, romantic skating, and social events with the most sensational sight on the edge of New York — the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and of course, the Manhattan skyline. The icy arena is surrounded by warming huts, food and beverage outlets, and pop-up options that make it easy to enjoy a whole day out with children and friends.
