I suggest checking out their website for any special deals or discounts before you go. I found a coupon that saved me a decent chunk of change on rentals.

I recommend getting there right when they open at 9 am. The range gets crowded fast and I snagged a better spot by being an early bird

I suggest arriving right when they open around 1 PM on weekends. It tends to get super crowded later, and you’ll have more skating space to enjoy. Plus, you can snag some great deals on rental skates early!

if you’re planning to take a break, there are picnic areas around. bring some snacks and drinks, so you don’t have to buy everything there. it’s a nice way to recharge without breaking the bank!

My advice is to bring your own skates if you have them. Rental prices can add up, and having your own pair makes for a more comfortable experience—trust me!

My advice is to take public transport if possible. Finding parking can be a hassle and the shuttle from the train station was a breeze.

Jack December 3, 2024

Make sure to visit the team store before the game starts. It gets super crowded right after the event, and you'll want to snag some merch without the hassle.

Don't forget to download the Prudential Center app! It really helped me navigate the arena and find my seat quickly.

Ronald November 10, 2024

If you're looking to save some cash, definitely check out the food options near the arena instead of inside. Found some great local spots just a few blocks away.

If you're planning to park there, buy your parking pass in advance online. I paid way less than those who just showed up on game day!

Lucas December 2, 2024

Download the stadium app. It has live updates on what’s happening inside, plus maps and food choices so you won’t miss kick-off while wandering around!

Justin November 20, 2024

Wear comfortable shoes! You’ll do a lot of walking, especially if your seats are at the top of the stadium. Trust me, your feet will thank you later.

Lisa October 30, 2024

Plan your exit strategy! I waited an hour just to get out of the parking lot after the game. Pick a spot away from the main exits if you can.

Matthew March 19, 2025

I recommend coming on a weekday afternoon. It's way less crowded than weekends, and you might actually get more time on the track!

user avatar
Adam January 15, 2025

If you're planning to axe throw, wear closed-toe shoes! I saw a few people in flip-flops and it was just awkward. Plus, the shoes add to your grip and stability.

user avatar
Andrew December 9, 2024

Don't forget to take breaks between karting sessions. I felt like I rushed through it, but taking a breather really enhances the experience!

user avatar
Jason November 27, 2024

Bring your own snacks if you can. The food options there aren’t the best, and I ended up grabbing fast food afterward anyway!

I recommend booking your flight in the morning for the best visibility. We went at noon and it was a bit cloudy, which spoiled some views.

Mary February 9, 2025

If you're looking to save some cash, check for any combo deals with other local attractions. We ended up saving a bit by doing that!

Samuel October 16, 2024

I suggest bringing a light jacket – it gets a little chilly up there even in summer, and trust me, you’ll want to be comfortable for those stunning views.

Don’t forget to bring some cash for the snack bar! Their prices were pretty reasonable, but they only take cash for some stuff

user avatar
Jane November 26, 2024

My advice is to bring your own skates if you can. Rentals are okay but they aren’t the best quality. Plus it saves money in the long run!

Barbara November 11, 2024

I think arriving around 5 PM on a Friday is great; it’s less crowded, and you can snag a good spot for skating without the huge late-night rush.

Make sure to download their app for live updates on events and any last-minute changes; it saved me from missing out on a race I wanted to see!

Try to time your visit around one of the racing events; the atmosphere is electric and worth the extra crowds.

James December 3, 2024

Check the schedule in advance for track days; some are open to the public and can be super exciting to watch.

Tyler November 18, 2024

I suggest wearing comfortable shoes. You'll be walking around a lot, and some areas can get pretty muddy after rain.

i suggest booking your parasailing trip in the morning, like around 9 am. the winds are usually calmer then, making for a smoother ride and better views!

Brian January 10, 2025

I recommend wearing a swimsuit underneath your clothes because you might get a little splashed when the boat takes off. Just a heads up!

Barbara November 17, 2024

If you're prone to seasickness, I think you should take some motion sickness pills at least an hour before your trip. It helps a ton, trust me!
