NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Just because spring is approaching doesn't mean that skating at Rockefeller Center has to come to an end.
For the first time since 1940, a roller rink will fill the complex at Rockefeller Center from April to October.

When the iconic ice skating rink closes on Sunday, the enclosing walls will be lifted out of the plaza by crane and stored until the ice skating season resumes next winter, according to The New York Times.
A smaller rink, contracted by L.A.-based Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace, will then take its place and be open to the public on April 15.
Tickets are $30 for adults and $22 for children under the age of 15 who require skate rentals. They are on sale now.
The site is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and from 10 a.m. to midnight Thursday and Friday. Weekend hours are 8 a.m. to 12 a.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday.
