The Rink at Rockefeller Center officially opened to the public Tuesday as it begins its 76th season.

Skaters this year will be allowed to make reservations and skip the lines.

That option begins next month.

VIPs will also enjoy hot cocoa and a personal skate concierge.

"It's so exciting, especially to be here at the Rockefeller Center for my first time ice skating, it's really good," said one skater.

"I'm from Brazil, and we don't have this kind of ice skating," said another rink visitor.

"I haven't fallen yet because I'm really careful. I've been going around holding peoples hands, but I reckon I'll get a fall in before the day's finished," joked a third skater.

To book, call 212-332-7654 or go online to therinkatrockcenter.com.
