In Short
Located near the Central Park Zoo, it's one of the most famous rinks in New York City. Admission to Wollman buys you a whole day of gliding, and there are inline rentals, lessons and hockey clinics for the enthusiast. Ice-skating lasts until early April and then it turns into an amusement park.

I skated here a year and a half ago at Thanksgiving. I loved the rink but had difficulty with their rented skates. The first two pair had very dull blades which makes it too difficult to skate. The third pair finally was OK. Bring your own skates.
Pros: Nice location
Cons: Skate blades are not sharp

Bring your own lock for the lockers. If not, there's a small fee to rent theirs. This sure beats having your shoes taken or lost somewhere.
Pros: mix of music, have food/ drinks, no time limit
Cons: crowded on weekends, long line wait, Hard shoes
