Great Ideas: Indoor ice skating comes to Bay Shore mall

Indoor ice skating has arrived in Bay Shore just in time for the holidays.

The Westfield South Shore Mall announced on Facebook the roll-out of a synthetic ice rink by Macy’s.

Admission is $10 per adult while children under 5 are free. Skate rentals are an extra $5, plus there are options to rent a helmet ($5) and skate helper ($5).

These prices are for one-hour skating sessions. See times below.

The rink can also be rented out for private events, the mall says. It costs $250 per hour — this price includes admission and skate rentals for up to 20 people. Click here for more information or call 631.665.8600.
