City dwellers seem to go crazy for ice skating season, but once the ice thaws and summer is upon us, where's a skater to go? It's time to introduce the kids to the old-school art of roller-skating at one of these seven rinks within New York City limits and just beyond.
In addition to retro skating fun, many of these spots offer extras, including arcade games, bouncy houses and party packages. Many of NYC's outdoor skating rinks open in April as the weather warms, just in time for spring break. Just be sure to call ahead to confirm hours and skate rental availability.
