Get Your Skates on at Rockefeller Centre

Get your skates on at Rockefeller Centre There aren't many cities that have the magic and character of New York at Christmas and visitors this year can enjoy a true experience of the city with a spot of ice-skating at Rockefeller Centre.

The ice rink in front of the impressive floodlit towers of the centre becomes one of New York's liveliest spots at Christmas time.

Local people and visitors staying in hotels in New York have enjoyed the experience of ice-skating at Rockefeller Centre every Christmas since 1936.

This New York City landmark comprises 19 buildings that cover 22 acres of land between 48th and 51st streets in midtown Manhattan.

It was declared an American national historic landmark in 1987 and boasts a number of eye-catching artworks including statues of Greek titans Prometheus and Atlas.

Visitors enjoying a holiday in New York over the festive period can enjoy a skate at Rockefeller Centre up until January 6th.
