No. If you're using our pass, you don't need to make a separate reservation. Simply present your pass at the rink when you arrive and you'll be given a ticket for next available time slot. Availability is subject to the rink's operating hours and capacity.

The wait time to skate at The Rink at Rockefeller Center is generally 15 to 45 minutes for check-in and getting your skates, providing you already have your time slot ticket. Wait times can vary depending on how busy the rink is and the time of day. Weekends and holiday peak periods tend to be the busiest.

Both offer a different experience. Rockefeller Center is ideal if you want the classic New York Christmas atmosphere, with the rink surrounded by skyscrapers and the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. Central Park offers a more scenic setting, with views of the park and surrounding Manhattan skyline.

Prices vary depending on the date and time. General skating tickets currently start at $22, with prices increasing during busier periods. With one of our passes, you don't have to worry about individual ticket prices.
