The Rink @ The Arena
📍 East Rutherford, NY
Ice skating venue with beginner-friendly setup and helpful staff. Parents recommend weekday visits to avoid weekend crowds and long wait times.
I bought my niece and her boyfriend to the rink and it was a great experience. They had never been ice skating before and they got the hand of it quickly. They had padded floors and we rented ice skates. It you book it online it’s $5 cheaper. The staff was friendly. They had these assisted ice pusher things for you kids. I saw many parents with there kids using it. There was also a lot of staff on and off the ice. I would say this was a well oiled machine. I went on a very busy Saturday and I felt they were well organized. I highly recommend going here.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
This rink is excellent for introducing kids to ice skating with beginner aids and generally helpful staff. However, avoid weekends at all costs due to severe organizational problems, long waits, and inconsistent service. Best visited on weekdays when the experience matches the venue's potential.

“We went at Noon on Sunday, purchased our tickets a day before. Wait in line was about 20 minutes ,which is not bad. We were afraid that there will be no seals available for rent ($10), but thankfully the staff brought couple more that were needed. Overall it was a nice experience and we had a good time. A little too crowded but i guess that’s a norm on a Sunday afternoon.”
