Good to know

Practical notes before your visit.

TimingThe Rink uses scheduled 60-minute skating sessions. During the skating season, choose the session time that best fits your itinerary and arrive no more than 10 minutes before the scheduled start. Check the current ticket calendar for the operating season and session hours, which can vary by date.
EntranceFor The Rink Ice Skating, use the main entrance on the lower Rink Level from 49th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, next to Kate Spade. Keep your ticket ready on your phone or as a printout; wheelchair users can enter through The Rink Shop on the lower level.
PriceThe official benchmark shown is 28.68 USD for “The Rink Ice Skating.” No partner offer is available for a direct price comparison here; if another seller appears at checkout, compare the final total, cancellation terms, and inclusions before paying.
DiscountsAll guests entering The Rink venue, including non-skating companions, need a valid ticket. Children under 6 must skate with an adult aged 18 or older, and guests ages 7–13 must be supervised by an adult. Children may not be carried on the ice.

Planning your visit

Rockefeller Center spans Rockefeller Plaza in Midtown Manhattan, with 30 Rockefeller Plaza—often called 30 Rock—at its center. The complex’s Art Deco architecture reflects the vision of John D. Rockefeller Jr.; outdoor highlights include the Prometheus statue, the Atlas statue, Channel Gardens, and Fifth Avenue. The address 45 Rockefeller Plaza New York NY 10111 identifies one of the complex’s buildings.

The Top of the Rock Observation Deck occupies the upper levels of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, while Radio City Music Hall, NBC Studios, and the Rainbow Room are nearby attractions with separate access arrangements. The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree appears beside The Rink at Rockefeller Center during the winter season, making the lower plaza especially busy for seasonal sightseeing.

Top of the Rock tickets normally use a timed-entry ticket, and the observation deck opening hours are published as daily 8 AM–12 AM with last entry at 11:10 PM. A Rockefeller Center guided tour runs for 75 minutes; an audio tour guide, general admission tickets, or a VIP Rock Pass should be treated as distinct booking descriptions rather than assumed inclusions.

The 47th-50th Streets-Rockefeller Center station is served by the B D F M subway lines. Top of the Rock’s main entrance is on 50th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, and wheelchair accessible entrances include power-assist doors there; visitor security screening applies to all guests, and food and beverages are not permitted beyond the checkpoint.

Before you buy

Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.

  • The listed product is for The Rink Ice Skating only; it does not include admission to Top of the Rock or other Rockefeller Center attractions.
  • Travel light: large luggage, strollers, and outside food and beverages are not allowed for the skating experience. Small complimentary lockers or dedicated storage may be available; check the current venue instructions before arrival.

Frequently asked questions

The things people ask most.

Can I use a mobile ticket, and do I need to choose a time slot?

The ticket listing does not specify mobile delivery or a selected session time. Confirm the delivery format and scheduled entry time during checkout, because skating sessions run for 60 minutes from the scheduled entry time.

Can I cancel or get a refund for The Rink Ice Skating?

Tickets are generally non-refundable, but reservations may be rescheduled up to 24 hours before the session, subject to availability and any price difference. Severe weather can also lead to a delayed or canceled session with rescheduling available.

Should I buy from the Official site or a partner?

The available The Rink Ice Skating option is sold by the Official site, making it the clearest choice when you want direct venue inventory and the venue’s stated ticket terms. Check the final checkout page for the exact inclusions and cancellation conditions.

Do I need a ticket if I am only accompanying a skater, and what about bags or security?

Everyone entering The Rink venue, including non-skating companions, must have a valid ticket. Rockefeller Center security procedures may still apply, so bring only essential belongings and do not assume a ticket bypasses screening.

What happens if I arrive late?

Late entry is permitted, but the skating session is not extended. The main bottleneck is the fixed session window, so arriving late reduces time on the ice.

Are free or reduced tickets available for children, youth, or other visitors?

The available The Rink Ice Skating listing does not show a free or reduced admission category. Children and accompanying adults should each have a valid ticket before entering The Rink venue.

What is the main capacity issue at The Rink?

The key constraint is the scheduled 60-minute skating session rather than a general Rockefeller Center admission queue. Popular sessions can have limited availability, while late arrival cuts into the reserved skating time.
