IceSkating

A trip to New York City just wouldn't be the same without stopping by Rockefeller Plaza. In winter, it's a magical scene with skaters gracefully gliding across the iconic rink, while thousands of lights twinkle from the massive Christmas tree. When the weather warms up, the plaza transforms, offering a delightful array of outdoor dining spots. No matter when you visit, there's always something to explore: check out unique shops like the FDNY Fire Zone store and museum or Swarovski for a bit of sparkle. If you're a foodie, don't miss the chance to grab a bite at Dean & DeLuca or Mendy's Kosher Deli. And for those who love a bit of celebrity spotting, NBC Studios is just around the corner, making it a haven for stargazers. But the real showstopper is the view from the Top of the Rock. With three observation decks, you'll get a breathtaking panorama of the city's stunning skyline. Fun fact: the Rockefeller Plaza is also home to the famous Radio City Music Hall, where the Rockettes perform their legendary high kicks. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned NYC traveler, Rockefeller Plaza is a must-see.

The merriest place on the Arctic Circle. Snowman World gives you all the joys of winter in a single location next door to Santa Claus on the Arctic Circle – all with just one ticket. The speedy but safe slide is big fun for grown-ups and children too. You can skate on ice or dive in a snowball pit or go into orbit with a sleigh-go-round. Admire ice sculpture in the ice bar and cafe while we serve kids with raspberry red beverages and adults with icy clear drinks. And the drinking glasses are made out of ice, of course. Around of snow and ice, there is the Snowman World you can meet three happy snowman siblings. Ice Hockey promise Flake is the wildest of the three and you might get him to teach you how to shoot the puck on the ice. You will probably find rock star Frost somewhere playing the air guitar. He believes he can make northern lights appear by finding just the right chords. Aurora, sister to these two rowdy brothers, is a dreamer. She loves poems and artistic ice sculptures but nothing gets her more excited than seeing the beautiful northern lights, Aurora Borealis, of which she has been named after. You might also meet the groundskeeper Snowman who takes care of our guests and watches over the whole world of snowmen. The parents of these siblings will not meet in the Snowman World. They work during winters in the snowball factory in Kaamanen where they store snow to a secret place, in case of the warming of the climate. The snowman siblings spend their winters in the Arctic Circle studying winter sports, ice and snow sculpting and aurora hunting. They will take you to enjoy the arctic outdoors and help you try new things like sliding down the ice hills, ice skating and ice sculpting. https://www.discoveringfinland.com/destination/snowman-world/
