Located in Central Park, this outdoor rink is one of the city's premier ice skating spots, and not nearly as crowded as the one in Rockefeller Center. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed with a stunning view of the New York City skyline, visible through the trees all around the rink. If you don't like crowds and lines, don't go on the weekend. During summer, the rink becomes a classic amusement park called Victorian Gardens, so it's year-round fun!
