Walk into a winter wonderland at Ridge Hill, where holiday preparation is in full swing as the Yonkers mixed-use destination readies to celebrate a magical season of family-friendly events, including the debut of a festive new experience: Ridge Hill on Ice.
Construction of the 2,000 square-foot ice rink is well underway as the Town Square Lawn (central green space located next to The Cheesecake Factory) transforms into an outdoor skate zone, with a grand launch set for the same day as The Lighting of Ridge Hill on Sunday, November 20. After a dazzling professional ice-skating performance at 4 p.m., the rink officially opens to the public. While walk-ups are welcome, guests are encouraged to book ice skating reservations in advance through Ridge Hill’s website to ensure a time slot.

Operating hours are Mondays to Thursdays from 4 to 9 p.m.; Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Yonkers residents have through January 29 to lace up their skates and go for a spin around the rink.
