All patrons whether skating or not are required to sign a waiver to enter to Wollman Rink NYC.

Wollman Park Partners is offering discounted pricing ($15 for admission, skates and a hot cocoa) to increase accessibility to the rink for those in need through the Wollman Rink Access Program (WRAP). This program is designed to help provide access for New Yorkers who have not historically been able to afford to visit the rink.

WRAP tickets are only available in-person at the box office during public skating hours (while supplies last) on a first come, first served basis, for guests presenting an IDNYC or New York Public Library card. Unfortunately, New York State ID and license are not accepted. Special arrangements are also available for our community partners: Figure Skating in Harlem, Ice Hockey in Harlem, Green City Force, The Boys’ Club of New York and the YMCA of Greater New York.

Additional discount programs include:

• Culture Pass – Quantities of free admission tickets are also available (starting in November) on Culture Pass every month throughout the season and can be secured online, on the Culture Pass website, in advance.
• Community Days – Free admission for those who keep New York strong (with proper ID): November 10 – Veterans and Active Military, January 15 – Teachers, February 19 – Public Sector Employees, February 29 – Leap Day Free for All

Safety is always our top priority. If an event date is canceled due to unsafe weather conditions, we will gladly accommodate you into another day when public skating is being offered.
