"Wonderful time"

We had a wonderful time. A morning slot so was lovely and quiet. The only recommendation / suggestion I would have is that it’s annoying when they have to clean the ice in the middle of a session for 15 mins. It would be better if they didn’t this between sessions as it’s really disruptive. Particularly as we only had 10 mins left of our time and then had to come off ice for 15 mins in order to get back on for the last ten mins!!! But overall was wonderful experience.

"The Worst Ice Skates in town!"

My daughter and I skated for only 50 minutes and my 9 year old daughter got huge blisters on her feet. The ice skates should have better quality at least for kids. It was not worth the time there. So disappointed with Rockefeller center. We’ve gone to Wollman rink at Central Park and skated for 5 hours and nothing happened to her feet.

"What You'll Find at Rockefeller"

Man. The ol' grand Rockefeller Center. A place where you can't even have a normal conversation with people staring at you like you are yelling. I mean the ice skating ain't all that bad, it's a little cramped but it does the trick. I really don't get the appeal though, "Oh, we're in the heart of NYC and the back drop is so pretty," just doesn't do it for me. I was with my friend Sally and we were trying to have a conversation, oh, and the fellas there won't even serve you! No regards for a kid to enjoy themselves, I mean,"I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life" (Salinger 19). Anyways, this is a kingdom for families, I mean the perfect place as going as less than four people you seem like an outsider. Only advice I'd give is to keep it at a whisper, lol.
