Okay, so let’s talk about this whole APRÈS SKI CHALET at Rockefeller Center thing I checked out.
So, picture this: It was getting close to November, and I got this idea in my head that I wanted to try something different for the winter. I’d heard about this APRÈS SKI CHALET thing opening up at Rockefeller Center, and it sounded pretty cool. I mean, who wouldn’t want to experience a bit of that chalet vibe without actually going to the mountains?
First thing I did was to check when it was actually opening. Turns out, it starts from November 1st, perfect timing, right? Then, I dug a little deeper into what they were offering. They had this deal where you could skate for 90 minutes, which is longer than usual. Plus, they throw in free skate rentals and a 20% discount at their gift shop. Sounded like a pretty sweet deal to me.
How to prepare
Now, I’m not exactly a pro skater, so I thought about what I should wear. I figured jeans and a long-sleeved shirt would do the trick. I mean, it’s not like I’m hitting the slopes, just a casual skate around the rink. As for the skates, I didn’t have my own, but that wasn’t a problem since they offer rentals there for around $12. Pretty convenient, huh?
The next thing was to figure out the cost. I mean, you gotta budget for these things, right? From what I gathered, the general admission prices can vary a lot, like from $40 to $90, depending on the time of day and the season. And of course, if you go during peak holiday times, it’s gonna cost more. They also have skate rentals for an extra fee, which I already knew.
- Check the opening date: November 1st, got it.
- Look into the offer: 90-minute skate, free skate rental, 20% off at the gift shop.
- Decide what to wear: Jeans and a long-sleeved shirt.
- Note the skate rental: $12 if you don’t have your own.
- Figure out the cost: $40 to $90, depending on when you go.
So, that’s pretty much how I got into this whole APRÈS SKI CHALET experience. It’s a fun little adventure if you’re in the city and want to get into the winter spirit without too much hassle. Just remember to check the prices and maybe bring a buddy along for some laughs on the ice!
