The recently opened TWA Hotel at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport is close to opening up its Runway Rink – a one-of-a-kind ice skating experience on a tarmac!
The rink will open up Nov. 30 allowing visitors and hotel guests to take a spin on the tarmac around the hotel’s 1958 Lockheed Constellation Connie airplane.
The custom 56-by-44 foot rink, made from 3,500 gallons of frozen New York City tap water, will operate seven days a week through the end of February.
Admission is $15; $10 for kids under 12. Ice skates can be rented for $10 (kids under 12 rent for $8). Skating aids for children are available.
Advance purchase tickets and reservations are not available.
The rink will be open Monday through Thursday from 4 to 9 p.m. and Friday from 4 to 10 p.m. It will also be open Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
