LeFrak Center at Lakeside
4.5
Arrive around 10 AM if you want a quieter experience. The place gets super crowded, especially on weekends, and it's way more fun with fewer people around.
I suggest renting skates online beforehand to skip the lines. It only takes a few minutes, and you'll save a good chunk of time when you get there.
I recommend checking their schedule for themed nights or special events. I stumbled upon a fun disco skate night, which made for a great surprise!
My advice is to bring your own water bottle to fill up. The prices for drinks at the café are higher than you'd think, and it helps save a few bucks!
Andrew Stergiopoulos Ice Rink
2.1
I recommend hitting the rink early, like around 10 AM, to avoid the crowds and snag a good rental pair of skates without the rush. I felt so much better skating without bumping into a ton of other people!
My advice is to bring cash for snacks—there's a little cafe inside that only accepts cash and I learned that the hard way. Grab a hot cocoa after your session; it's so worth it
Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers
0.5
My advice is to book your skate rental online in advance if you can. I didn’t, and I had to wait in line for ages just to get my skates. Total buzzkill!
I recommend getting there early, like around 10 am, to avoid the crowds. It was way less hectic, and I had way more space to skate, which made it super enjoyable!
