Local and Day Trip Skating within 25 miles!

By Tatiana S. ~ Publisher and Editor of Macaroni Kid Five Towns-Valley Stream-The Rockaways and Macaroni Kid Long Beach-Oceanside-Rockville Centre November 25, 2021

I have compiled a list of local ice skating places. I am updating for winter 2021-2022 but some information is still not available. Some are already open, some will open soon (as of checking on Nov 26th). Always call before going there.  Listed are a few more within 25 miles or so in Nassau County and Queens and Brooklyn as well as in Manhattan if you would like to do a day trip.

If you have any news about these or any other places you would like me to list, please email me at TatianaS@MacaroniKid.com
