The booking process was easy, and the staff are very responsive through email. They use a portal for the payment, contract, and waivers which is very convenient. When I arrived, the staff were very helpful and gave me the wristbands and vouchers for hot chocolate right away. They explained the bags for storage were an additional cost, even for large groups, but they were nice and gave me additional bags I needed after purchasing two for our group of 40 people. The lines were EXTREMELY long and slow for general admission which is disappointing when the sessions are limited to 1.5 hours. By the time you purchase tickets and get your skates, part of the session is over. Our session didn't end right at the session end time; they seem to give an additional 10-15 minutes after the end time. I wouldn't recommend getting the $2 chocolate add-on for large groups. Students said the hot chocolate wasn't hot and also didn't taste good at all. This was disappointing given the additional cost. Overall, I would recommend this rink but hope they can provide quicker service at the ticket counter as well as at the skate rental.

This was one of my friend's first time camping, and as such, we choose Gateway National Park (Floyd Bennett Field). Here is some information that we wish we had known before booking. Overall, it was good to get out of the city, but there are some downsides as described below. 1) Get some good bug spay cause there are lots of mosquitoes. A couple of trails were actually closed due to the mosquitoes in the area. However, once we lathered ourselves with insect repellent with 99.9% Deet, the bugs didn't mess with us too much. 2) The raccoons come out at night. We were informed that there was a raccoon problem, and that you should put all of your food before dark. The person was right. Make sure you bring something to store the food in (cooler or other locking container) and you will not have any problems. 3) The campsites are pretty much in an open field. Sites T14 and T15 have some privacy, but the rest are open for everyone to see. Also, the grey on the campsite map is a real depiction of the paved areas. The areas surrounding the campsites are old paved runways, so expect cars and motorcycles driving around the area. 4) Noise...what noise? Having previously participated in a couple of 5Ks at Floyd Bennett Field, I knew that there could be some activities there during the day. However, we were truly surprised at the incessant woman on the loudspeaker screaming "3..2..1..GOOO!", the guy practicing landing a helicopter from 2:00 - 8:00 PM, the jets flying over to land at JFK until 11:00 PM (not too bad, because the noise was mostly subdued by the woman on the loud speaker), and the jets taking off starting at 6:00 AM (this was a LOUD wake up call). 5) There are flushable and clean bathrooms by the camp store that are open from 8:00 AM to 7:30 PM. Also, you can purchase firewood at the camp store. The staff there are very friendly and can also provide tips on local food and entertainment.

Only people traffic. There are new installations as one walks across the The High Line and some construction so be mindful and stay on the path. When you get to Hudson Yards, the Buddha statue (as of late April 2026) replaces the big pigeon statue). There are several exits along the High Line so one does not have to go all the way to each end... exit where you need and come back. Pay attention to the hours on weekdays and weekends. Enjoy the sites and views and nice stroll from above the ground.

If you're between the ages of 18-24, you pay only $25/year which is a great deal. I paid $75 for 6 months, and that gives me access to both this Rec Center and the Aquatic Center in Flushing Meadows Park, as well as, any affiliated Rec Center in the 5 boroughs. Plenty of parking available on the street, or you have the option of parking in their lot but there's limited spaces there. And underneath the highway, there's parking available there as well. Inside, once you scan in at the front desk, there's 3 rooms: cardio, free weights and multi-purpose machines. Down the center hall, there's 2 well maintained racquetball courts, and past that is a children's play room and the main gymnasium for basketball and ping pong, as well as, an indoor track. Their racquetball courts cost $7/hour, and the price includes a ball and racket. However, they don't accept cash strangely enough, only credit/debit and check. All 3 rooms are have pretty much the same dimensions..and I pretty much feel the same way about all of them: too small, during busy hours you feel really congested in there. A few of the machines in the multi-purpose room were out-of-order. Treadmills and elliptical machines are not well spaced out. Plus there's no air circulation of any kind making the air in the room really dense. Legit almost feels like a sauna in all 3 rooms. Locker rooms and rest rooms seem well maintained and are relatively clean. There's plenty of decent sized lockers available. Overall, an OKAY Rec Center that can definitely use some improvements!
