Now You Can Roller Skate at TWA at JFK Airport!

The new outdoor roller skating rink is open on the tarmac on weekends!

May 19, 2021

It’s a wheel-y good time: The TWA Hotel’s Roll-A-Rama at the Runway Rink welcomes roller skaters to take a spin on the tarmac around the hotel’s 1958 Lockheed Constellation "Connie" airplane.

Roll-A-Rama! Weather permitting, the Roll-A-Rama is open Fridays from 4 PM to 8 PM and Saturdays and Sundays from 12 PM to 8 PM. Capacity may be limited, and tickets are available on a first come, first served basis. Tickets cannot be purchased in advance and can only be purchased with a credit card. Occasionally the Roll-A-Rama hosts private events. Please see the list of closures below.

Every weekend, skaters can pull up their tube socks (bring your own!), don their terry cloth headbands and glide around to retro tunes — maybe even some disco?

Admission for one skate session is $20 per adult and $16 per child under 12 (skate rentals are included). One skate session is 50 minutes long. We need those extra 10 minutes to clean the rink in keeping with our strict safety protocols!

Our skates are disinfected after every usage — and you can always bring your own! Socks are required and may be purchased at the cabin or at The TWA Shop in the lobby. We have a limited quantity of helmets for rent and encourage you to bring your own helmet. Masks are required in keeping with current CDC protocols. Want to throw a roller skating party? Email us at events@twahotel.com!

  • Saturday, June 12, 2021 from 6 PM to 6:30 PM
  • Friday, June 25, 2021 from 6 PM to 7 PM
