Great ice skating rink ! Not too busy on the weekends. Stay in Brooklyn and don't make the trek all the way into Manhattan for skating . Two admission tickets plus skate rentals were under $30.

Ronni

The admission ticket booth is behind the skate rental place, don't accidentally stand on line for skates before getting tickets. You'll need to get a locker for your shoes . Lovely rink though :)

Dominique Hernandez

The rinks themselves are beautiful and fun - it's so nice to have 2. Need improvements in administration - waited about an hour for tickets on a Sunday and 30 mins for two hot chocolates and fries .

Eli Grimes

Skating rentals and concessions will will be open on Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday and Saturday between 9 a.m. and 10 p.m., and Sunday 9 a.m. to p.m.

David Nelson

Look for stick and puck sessions. Best place to get some hockey time in throughout NYC, and it's outdoors.

Joshua Maw

Ice skating in the winter, sprinklers/fountains and roller skating in the summer. Great place to hang out. Cafe is quite expensive

Marc Mayer

Watching people fall while skating is almost as fun as actually falling while skating . Check it out!

Chris Petescia

FYI: The largest skate size they have for men is size 13! I'm a 14 sneaker and was able to cram my foot into the 13 rental but it was pretty tight.

Tracy Balzano

Bring your own hot chocolate . The cafe was making them one at a time. We waited 45 minutes. The other snack counter RAN OUT, yes, of hot chocolate . We got there at 10:30 though so no wait for the ice.

Benjamin Healy

Splash Pad (what the ice skating is in the summer months ) is a great spot for little kids to cool off.

Eli Grimes

After the holiday week, when the café will be open daily through Jan. 1, its standard will be Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Eli Grimes

Seasonal sports will include ice skating and ice hockey (November through March), Roller skating (April through October) and water play for children and families (May through September).

Chris Petescia

Whining staff gets old: why did you take this job if you "want to go home" because you don't like the cold? Walkie talkie guy sucks but rinks themselves are great!

Joy Mielke

My daughter had a great time at a birthday party that was hosted here last winter. Hope to give her some iceskating lessons this year.

Charles Petkanas

Bluestone Cafe is excellent. Great hot chocolate !

Shaba

Check out the new side of the park this side year round fun !!

Ashley Velazquez

Love the ceiling! Pricing is a little much though.

Carmen N

I'm so happy this opened. Another great section of Prospect Park . The restaurants not bad, either.

Byron Wong

Clean bathrooms . Bluestone has a nice upstairs area too

Jen B

Great vibe. Beautiful design. Fun performances (looking at you, Synchronettes).

Margot Mazur

Come in the early morning to skip the lines . Woo-hoo!

Ray Rodriguez

Hey the season pass. Let's you get in front of the line . Your own skates get you on the ice even faster.

Brad Klein

Skating was cool but be warned, no storage (even of shoes ) included. $3 (small) locker rental for 3h. Wasnt too crowded on a Jan Friday afternoon

Victor

Come here for rollerskating !!

Chirag Patel

roller skating rink often slim crowds. Nice breeze under the roof when skating

Mark Kizelshteyn

Skate area is nicely done. On opening night, the skaters were aggressive and announcements that it's not a speed skating ring were repeated, but it did not stop folks from being disrespectful.

Connie Chiu

Best bathrooms ! Cute cafe picnic tables to hangout at.

Jk-Di Koval

Open ice-skating is free, be careful when choose bracelet

Nate Folkert

giant everything pretzel

Leah Labrecque

Fun water feature! Reminds me of the Frog Pond in Boston a bit.

Russ Bird

Indoor and outdoor skating , but bring your own food.

Dan Kawasaki

The center is beautiful but the ticket and food lines are ridiculously sloooooow.

Jean Hannah

Try the curling.

Rhudi Elizabeth Eagle

Overdevelop trash community being threatened aesthetically ugly buildings The blocks need more trees grass flowers people are trashing the area

Chris Cummings

Dogs welcome at outdoor bar !

Joseph Nielsen

Ice skates only go up to men size 13. Lefrak doesn't care about big people.

Nate Folkert

tiny skates for new little skaters

Adria Crum

Sometimes crowded . Great Skate school.

Dori Fern

Check in while you're at the cashier or they won't honor it. That's some BS @LakesideBrooklyn

Oz Lubling

Really awesome place to go skating

Peter Strong

So fun for the kids playing in the splash park

ansje miller

Kamille Maritza

The line moves fast!

Crystal Thomas

Beautiful Scenery

Matt Heindl

Took us 45 minutes to get tickets at 11:30 on Sunday morning. There were literally 12 transactions ahead of us in the one ticket window that was open. Bad.

Brenda Paris

Good times for cheap !

Drew Nichols

Loads of beginners falling all over the place

Randy Sidberry

Bring the whole family!
