What a great rink, exceptional views and then it started to snow as we were skating (after Christmas). Parents be prepared for long lines, getting skates, waiting to skate, and leaving the area.

The views from the Freedom Tower were wonderful. It turned out to be a clear day with great viability. As a New Yorker, who worked across the street from the Twin Towers and had friends who perished in the attack, it took me all this time to bring myself to go. I am very thankful that I did. The Memorial was very impressive and important for future generations.

I come from France, and I absolutely loved seeing the Rockettes’ show during the Christmas season. It was incredible. I’m 20 years old, and it’s a show open to all audiences. It immediately puts you in the Christmas spirit, which made it even more magical especially for the Rockettes’ 100th anniversary. The lighting design, tailored to each scene of the show, was incredible. Combined with the costumes and the live orchestra, it truly draws you into the experience and makes the show even more magical than it already is.
