NEW YORK — Locals carry a certain badge of exclusivity, especially those who call New York City home. Now, one of the most iconic places in the five boroughs plans to reward them for their loyalty.
Rockefeller Center, which also houses the headquarters of NBCUniversal, announced Wednesday that it will offer locals exclusive access to season passes to “The Rink” (the ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center) as part of a partnership with Coach. There’s also a new series of community skate nights for everyone debuting at the iconic ice skating venue. Those skate nights will run through March 2023.
Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace will return in April for roller skating on “The Rink.”
In the meantime, here’s what to expect:
- Unlimited access for NYC residents: For $65 (including skate rental), NYC residents get unlimited access to “The Rink” for the rest of the season. Find membership reservation details here. Please note that proof of residency will be required at your first skating session.
- Community Nights: New Yorkers can enjoy a special rate of $10 + skate rental (per session) every Monday night from 7 pm to 11:00 pm Proof of residence is not required.
- Thursday nights on “The Rink”: This is open to all from 7pm to 11pm. These music-themed nights feature music from a wide range of artists and eras. Here here is the complete list of weekly songs for this season (tonight is Best of Broadway, so if you don’t have tickets yet…)
The ice skating rink has become a renowned New York City landmark that has hosted Olympians. Skaters like Kristi Yamaguchi, Scott Hamilton, Sarah Hughes, and Eileen Seigh have skated at the rink.
