NEW YORK — If you’re trying to get one last ice skate at Rockefeller Center’s iconic rink, you’d better do it, now!
Sunday, March 20, will be the last day for ice skating at the famous rink in midtown Manhattan until it reopens in November. But this year, we have something to keep us active during the spring and summer months.
For the first time since a short season in 1940, the Rockefeller Center rink will feature roller skating from April through October. On April 15, the Rockefeller Center rink will be transformed into the classic Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace, the legendary Los Angeles cultural center of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Flipper is being revived by founder Ian “Flipper” Ross’s daughter, Liberty Ross, and will operate through October, with weekly and seasonal programming such as live music performances, children’s and family programming, events in association with Rockefeller Center, a new retail store in Channel Gardens and more.
Admission prices start at $20 for adults and $12 for children under 15, not including skate rentals. Tickets are available for your buy from Tuesday here.
The hours will be from 10 am to 10 pm on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and from 10 am to 12 pm on Thursday and Friday. Weekend hours are 8 a.m. to 12 a.m. on Saturdays and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays.
