History of The Rink at Rockefeller Center
There is a legend that says the idea for The Rink was inspired by a skate salesman who tried demonstrating his skates on a frozen area of pavement from the Rockefeller Center Fountain. In 1936 and on Christmas Day, The Rink officially opened to the public. And it’s been an iconic centerpiece of NYC charm and history ever since.
