Tis the season for families to enjoy memorable times together, and what better way to do that than lacing up your skates and taking to the ice at the Playland Ice Casino in Rye, a great place for affordable holiday fun.
The Ice Casino has been Westchester's premier ice skating facility for over 80 years. It’s always fair weather for skating inside this historic Art Deco building, which has three temperature-controlled indoor rinks, offering a spot that’s just right for skaters of all age groups and skill levels.
In addition to a full schedule of convenient public sessions, extended holiday hours and special events, the Ice Casino offers special weekday Freestyle, Adult Skate and Children’s Puck Time programs. There are special discounted rates for students, senior citizens and children under 12. The Ice Casino also offers packages for birthday parties, group rentals and private affairs. Skate rentals and sharpening are available. During the holiday season, families can join the Big Man from the North Pole when he parks his sleigh and hits the ice during Skating with Santa.
When you are done skating take a break and enjoy the food at the snack bar. Try the variety of video games in the game room or take a stroll on the scenic Playland boardwalk overlooking Long Island Sound, but make sure to bundle up. The Ice Casino is situated just off exit 19 on I-95 in Rye. Parking is free.
