De Matteis Ice Rink
đ Uniondale, NY
Outdoor ice skating rink with festive decorations and spacious layout. However, families report frequent unexpected closures and poor communication from management.
Hands down my favorite place to ice skate on long Island! It's always decorated nicely with the big Christmas tree. Been skating here since I was a little girl. It's not too crowded, so many rinks have so many people per session you really can't move around. For someone that is trying to learn new things on the ice, this is definitely the best place because you have some room to move! it's really pretty, bot during the day and when the tree it lit up! I wish it was open all winter long
đ Family Action Verdict
This rink has potential with its spacious layout and festive atmosphere, but serious management issues make it unreliable for family outings. The frequent unexpected closures, poor ice conditions, and communication problems mean you risk wasting time and money. Only consider if you can call ahead to confirm they're actually open.

âHorrible horrible management. We went on Saturday and no one was able to give us information. On their website they had like 4 different sessions available. When we got there there was no signs stating they were closed or apology for them being closed despite their site saying they had available sessions. Very disappointed.â

âDon't waste your money here, floor is in bad conditions, it is almost impossible to skate. I paid 90 dollars and couldn't skate at all, I asked for a refund but they said they can't refund money. Also, the rental ice skates are too old.â
