## About

Set against the panoramic skyline of Midtown Manhattan in the southern corner of Central Park, Wollman Rink is an iconic winter recreation destination for families. The expansive outdoor ice rink offers public skating sessions, skate aids for little learners, and a rinkside cafe serving hot chocolate, churros, and warm snacks. Every child admission (ages 12 and under) includes admission for one non-skating adult chaperone, making it economical and stress-free for parents guiding beginner skaters.
