The holiday season is once again upon us. Whether this is your first holiday in New York or you have been here for decades, Midtown Dental Care Associates encourages you to get and experience all that the city has to offer. One of Manhattan’s holiday gems is Winter Village.
Bryant Park’s Winter Village, presented by Bank of America, is a festive holiday destination in the heart of New York City. From late October through early March, the park transforms into a winter wonderland with activities and attractions for residents and visitors of all ages. The highlight of Winter Village is the city’s only free-admission ice skating rink, where visitors can skate at their own pace under festive twinkling lights and the Manhattan skyline. Skate rentals are available, or you can bring your own skates for a truly budget-friendly experience.
Never been skating before but want to learn? It’s not a problem, as private or group skating lessons are offered here for all ages through Fireworks Skating Academy. For a reasonable price, you can book lessons between November and February on the weekends or Mondays and Wednesdays.
Surrounding the rink, you’ll find the Holiday Shops, an open-air market featuring over 170 local and global vendors selling unique gifts, seasonal treats, and holiday décor. Handcrafted items, cozy apparel, artisanal foods, and more make it a perfect spot for holiday shopping.
The Lodge, a pop-up bar and food hall, is an ideal spot to warm up with hot chocolate, mulled wine, and a variety of delicious eats from local vendors. It’s a welcoming retreat where you can relax, enjoy the festive atmosphere, and take in views of the rink and park. For a more private experience, consider reserving a cozy igloo session for up to 8 guests. You can enjoy 90 minutes of seasonal food and beverages in a warm but open-view atmosphere by the Skating Pavilion in the southeast corner of the Rink deck.
In addition to skating and shopping, Winter Village offers family-friendly activities like holiday-themed performances, games, and occasional movie nights. Special events, such as tree lighting ceremonies, caroling, and Santa meet-and-greets, enhance the holiday magic. Whether you’re looking to embrace the holiday spirit, enjoy outdoor recreation, or unwind with a warm drink, Bryant Park’s Winter Village offers a memorable holiday experience for the entire family.
