Ice Skating Lessons for Long Island Kids

11/19/14 - By Erica Jackson

If your son or daughter has a dream of becoming a famous Olympic figure or speed skater -- or even an ice hockey player -- you'll want to sign them up for lessons. Across Long Island there are a number of rinks that offer classes throughout the year, including these five. And you can help your child practice their skating skills by bringing them to one of Long Island's Top Outdoor or Indoor Rinks.

And for other activities and enrichment options, check out our Long Island Classes Guide.
